    The flexibility is more valuable than being able to pencil everyone in on December 17. If he is signed the plan will be to get his bat in the lineup at the cost of the weak link. Lets see who that weak link is. Could be 2B, could be DH. I dont really care if you slot Breg in at 3B or 2B at this point in time. The fact that both avenues exist, makes me think he'll get into the lineup somehow.

    Stay flexibile.

    Because we dont know what injuries will emerge, and if Yoshida will hit next year. There are many avenues to Bregman making us better. What happens if Story gets hurt and Yoshida hits well when he returns? Then you are likely to use Breg at MI vs CI. But the inverse is just as likely, Yoshida stinking and Campbell filling 2b well and Story being healthy. The good thing about Breg is his versatility.

    This doesnt need to be fully flushed out right now. We have question marks at 2B and DH. I dont foresee it being too hard to get Breg into lineup. Theres also attrition.

    Fair

    Jared Jones (the pirates pitcher I alluded to above) has 40.5 trade value units, Abreu has 32. Can probably get there throwing in a 10 surplus value prospec/player. Hed be cheap so you can then get TH and one of Hoffman/Scott no problem.
  7. drewski6
    And yes, MVP, Manaea is first because Im a wrestling fan
  8. drewski6
    And I agree its feasible. Im a tad shy to say its "likely" but its certainly realistic
  9. drewski6
    Id be okay with Breg at 2b, but other than that , agree Moon. Give me one of TH, Breg, Santander (in that order of preference) AND Hoffman or Scott (in that order of preference) AND One of: Manaea, the rookie Pirates SP not named Skenes, Castillo, Pivetta, Flaherty, Buehler (in that order of preference)

    I think we're getting hazy on need priority vs the splashiness. Aside from Burnes, the "splashiest" move not yet made may be TH. I agree that no more pitching acquisitions would be disappointing. If we sign TH for 4 yrs at 25M (100m total) Sign Hoffman for 3 yrs 40m total (13.3m/yr) Sign Buehler to the Gio deal (2 yrs at around 19 each, with an opt out after yr 1). I would consider the TH signing the biggest move of the three, and Id be happy with the offseason. I agree we need more pitching, but dont necessarily agree that our "splashiest" move not yet made has to be for a pitcher for it to be a good offseason. While I would prefer Manaea to Buehler (and of course Burnes over either), I can see a path to myself being satisfied without a huge move for a pitcher.

    Its hard for me to square you saying we need a bat while also implying its need is behind 3 additional pitchers and a catcher
  12. drewski6
    I dont think that "win" is pitching or bust. I think Teoscar would be a sizeable win.
  13. drewski6
    Jey (one of his sons) is hottest thing going right now.
  14. drewski6
    Sign Manaea, sell the team to Dwayne Johnson, and we're all getting tribal tat sleeves
  15. drewski6
    Both?
  16. drewski6
    Whats your beef with Manaea? Samoan genes are strong.
  17. drewski6
    For the price, Hoffman stands out.
  18. drewski6
    And he'd be worth it, but Pirates say no to any package. Hes not a realistic target.
  19. drewski6
    Not getting skenes at any cost
  20. drewski6
    If I may re-arrange a bit: Odds of getting one of Teoscar, Santander, Bregman - 60% Odds of getting Burnes - 15% Odds of getting one of: Manaea, Flaherty, Pivetta, Hoffman, Castillo, Keller, Buehler or any other #3 starter via trade - 50%

    How would you (or anyone else who wants to chime in) rank these reasons of why the sox stopped at 700M for Soto A. They stopped at 700m because it was all a sham and they knew 700 wouldnt get it done and they didnt actually want to spend, just say they tried B. They do not see Soto as a generational player C. They are shy to commit these kind of dollars to any one person D. They reached a point where they determined, if we go any higher for Soto, we are crossing a threshold where we are now in a place where we think we can have a better team if we use this money elsewhere (e.g. instead of going 750 for Soto, we think wed be better off with 3 additions that sum to 750) E. They knew that no matter how high they went, Mets would go bigger , so they moved on Heres my order of likelihood: D, C, E, B, A So I honestly think they will spend.
  22. drewski6
    Its also feasible
  23. drewski6
    IF they sign Manaea, TH, and Bregman, I think they have a good chance at making the playoffs.
  24. drewski6
    Or like Crochet
  25. drewski6
    But hes vocal about welcoming a chance to start , and you dont know that his recent success as a RP wouldnt translate to SP. Im not against signing him if he can be had for a modest contract (lets say under 15 AAV), but try him in the rotation first, likely, as 1. this will help you sign him and 2. if he works out as a starter his contract becomes a steal. Worst case scenario transiition him back. But hes a good call out, by you, as a target that I initially overlooked when I said "Another SP not named Burnes (Buehler, Manaea, Pivetta, Castillo)" He may ultimately be a reliever , even a closer. BUt he should still go into the above category as my grouping of #2 most likely pick-ups
