I keep thinking Martinez will be the first domino to fall, but maybe someone makes a live connection with hosmer first. Regardless, the longer Miami draws out the Stanton trade, the more trade partners they lose.
-
Doesn’t Duda strike out about 200 times more than Napoli per season?
-
With pedroia starting the year on the dl, that would allow a spot for holt provided we do not sign a guy like Nunez. But why all the love for Hernandez? The guy has not played in over a year.
-
Looks like a deal has been made on the ohtani situation. We should start to see the dominos falling any day now! I think we should investigate trading for pavel smith. His path is blocked by goldsmith.
-
There was a time when teams kept a good glove - no bat player on the roster. There is no doubt these four and Travis can make positive contributions to our team next year. The question is - are their potential contributions at their projected price worth more than better replacements at their projected price?
-
Hasn’t Martinez missed significant tim with injury in four of the last five years? Did either hosmer and Santana receive a qo?
-
I agree 100%. It would be interesting to know what the doctor’s think about his ankle.
-
Stanton has to realize that accepting a trade to St. Louis is going to increase his national exposure and as a member of a playoff race increase the pressure and the excitement. All pay being the same, winning always trumps losing.
-
How does the new coaching staff compare to the prior staff? Seems to be like we took a step forward with the hitting coach. Neutral on the pitching coach and a step backwards for all other coaches.
-
Seems very light in the pitching going to Miami column.
-
Do you really think price will be healthy enough to pitch in 2018?
-
In my mind, I am ok going into next season with Travis as 1/2 of a platoon situation at first base, as long as whoever we sign has some power and allows us to have a lefty - righty platoon at the plate.
-
Based on others who have had micro fracture surgery, I doubt he returns in less than six months, but not longer than nine months, unless he has a setback, The real question is will his knee be able to handle the torque generated by his swing over the course of a full season?
-
Just curious how you felt a few years ago when Ben signed victorino?
-
Miami needs pitching! St. Louis has pitching. Square peg - square hole!
-
It would be interesting to see if bannister can do anything with shields. I know shields arm is about to fall off, and his pitches lack anything resembling movement, but if he can keep the ball down in the strike zone, we might be able to get a serviceable year out of him.
-
If Stanton and Martinez fall through, I think we need to look at either Ethier (if he is healthy) or Granderson as our 4th outfielder. I am still not convinced Brentz can hit major league pitching. But I know those two guys can.
-
Has jeter ever publically states who besides Stanton is on the trading block?
-
Smart trade.
-
This is the direction I see desperate Dave going. He is going to back up the Brinks truck and throw in a sixth year.
-
Someone is going to over spend for Santana, normally i’d say that is desperate dave’s M.O., but I think desperate Dave is putting all his chips on Martinez. Ps: I still think desperate Dave should be going all in on ohtani instead.
-
I still think trading with Atlanta for Adams makes sense. He would not cost much of a prospect and he can mash when he is right.
-
Maybe he is a closet yankee fan!
-
In case you have not noticed, bad over pays is the desperate dave way!
-
Or extremely enthusiastic about in house options!
