    And who is “they”? Do you think Dombrowski was not part of that process?

    The problem was he opened it for others first…

    1. The Yankees could. They do still have Jasson Dominguez and Spencer Jones. 2. The Tigers cannot be that stupid. Not only is Skubal propping open their window, but extending Riley Greene and Kerry Carpenter needs to be their next priority. As for not spending their offer, they didn’t spend that money last year either…

    The Cubs used top prospect Matt Shaw at 3b. Doubtful they end that experiment already. The Phillies might if they miss out on Schwarber, but they have top prospect Aiden Miller ready to step in. (Reportedly they’re fed up with Bohm.) Cincy traded for the rather pricey K’Bryan Hayes at the deadline. Theyre out on Bregman. And Detroit has other issues, namely Skubal. Plus other than Colt Keith, they have not extended a single young star they have brought up. Nit Skubal. Not Riley Greene. Not Kerry Carpenter. Not Casey Mize. In fact, the only two players on their roster with guaranteed deals after 2026 are Keith and Javier Lopez. I think they focus on that crowd first. The Yankees might be interested. They have not extended one ready to step in. But they also have to replace Bellinger, Grisham, Weaver, etc. which might be a higher priority…

    We got him for Hunter Renfroe. And since that trade, Hamilton has been much better than Renfroe…

    Didn’t Minnesota already acquire Abel in the trade for Jhoan Duran?
  7. notin
    He’s probably the most likely target for Boston over any other free agent. I’m not even sure what Bregman’s market is outside of Boston…

    I’m not a fan of Suarez, but he also might not be the cheap alternative many think he is. We assume he will take a shorter deal for less money, but his these perceptions coupled with his recent production and ineligibility for a QO might make demand higher than it should be for an aging, declining hitter that can’t play defense…

    There really is no case for stating why the Sox wouldn’t take on Harper’s contract. In fact, at 6 years it’s likely we won’t see many superstar contracts this short. It’s weird to me many think Schwarber will be settling for 3-4 year deals this time around…

    Harper still might be better than Devers at any point in time. Over the last 3 years, 30-32 year old Harper has been better than 26-28yo Devers. It wouldn’t surprise me if that held up for the next few years. Of course, it’s not an either/or choice. Devers was given lots of money and chose to be a selfish prick. And this started during negotiations; his insistence that he stay at third base should have been a huge red flag . But this started because folks are insisting the Sox would never take on Harper’s contract, despite it being reasonable for the times. Well, again, trading for a contract is NOT the same as signing a player to one…

    There is a postseason thread.

    And Springer due up. I am a bit surprised he let Gimenez hit there, but Barger needs to realize he has no shot at scoring there…
  13. notin
    Absolutely. But more important is, I bet he and his agent also think so…
  14. notin
    Harper is a future Hall of Famer who has shown a willingness to change positions. Can you substitute his name with Devers and still have a true sentence? Can you do it with either half?

    DD has repeatedly said Painter is not available. As he normally has no issues making prospects available, I’m taking him seriously on Painter…

    $191-200m Squeeze that one big contract in there, but not go overboard…

    If Miguel retires, find yourself another Rojas. There’s like 4 Rojas’s in MLB and they all play 2b (except for Johan)…
  18. notin
    If Story opts out, too, it means Mayer is the longest tenured infielder…
  19. notin
    With the money he’s making, he won’t need to work a side hustle in the souvenir shops. But I do agree he’d be good at it…

    Devers, who was last out of Betts, Bogaerts and Devers* *Not a law firm..
  21. notin
    Sometimes promotions come regardless of whether or not the player is ready. The Cubs demoted Matt Shaw for 6 weeks ladt year before recalling him. He did hit in AAA like he had before, but I think the bigger factor was his replacements (Berti and Brujan) were both steps down from the performance that got Shaw demoted in the first place…
  22. notin
    Exactly. He needs to let the dairy do its thing rather than going directly to the cow…
  23. notin
    We really don’t know the years these two will settle on. Schwarber only signed for 4 years last time, but he’s coming off a career year. Alonso wants 7, but will most likely have to settle for less. Will anyone go six? I think the big obstacles will be whether or not Harper is actually available and whether or not Harper wants to be traded…
  24. notin
    Reasonable assumption. I mean, they blatantly said that was the goal when they hired Bloom. They don’t have much in the upper tier of their farm ready to step in right away that we haven’t already seen. Will Campbell get another shot? Early start off in the rotation? When is Tolle back? We all hope these guys start next season out as MiLB depth, but it’s not necessarily going to work out that way…
  25. notin
    And even you have repeatedly said he never replaced Devers….
