    Are the rules still the same ... Revocable waivers vs irrevocable waivers? Send someone down without options, revocable waivers. Remove someone from 40 man = irrevocable waivers. Thats how it use to be but I know things got shifted when they changed the post deadline waived payer trading.

    I think he does have that clause, which is what MVP said.

    They paid Rusney like 60m over 4 years to rot in minors hahha, 36m is nothing to eat.
  4. drewski6
    Rusney Castillo was worse than that.

    ANd the year before that, he won the cy young and everyone was like omg. Then he couldnt pitch in the postseason. He would have, people think, had they made it out of the first round. But back to the wall and their ace was not available. People dont seem to realize this for some reason. Prob cuz "we got hosed" is a better narrative. Im not against trading for Sale, but I dont think hes anything different than what he was. Wirey dudes usually break down. Not all, but most.

    Im not against trading for Sale, I just wouldnt count on him surviving the season.
  7. drewski6
    Both last year and the year before concluded with Sale hurt. Hes still getting hurt in Atl.

    Im researching think you are right. They can waive him, but if he clears, they cant just park him in minors.
  9. drewski6
    yup, theyll be in on everybody, and we'll wind up with Justin Turner and Rich Hill.
  10. drewski6
    Make Cora President and coach, and yes, we go right by the lux tax threshold and we'd be better for it.

    I think the bigger risk is that we dont because nobody wants to talk to breslow, not because of the $$ I think Henry gets too much blame and more should go to Bloom and Breslow. I dont think Henry has suddenly turned into Scrooge when he never was. I think he wanted to cut some cuts, so he replaced DD with Bloom, but I honestly dont think hes micro managing. I think Bloom thinks its funsies to get it done without spending money and I think Breslow cant get people to talk to him cuz hes an arrogant ass. I wouldnt say hi to him.

    Correct they cant option him, but they can waive him right? And where does he go when he inevitably clears waivers? I could be wrong and theyd have to outright release him? That would be wild.

    Mayer has the arm to play third, and I understand your reservations about Polanco and Kim (Torres isnt coming with the QO), but if we dont get Bregman , and Im starting to think we wont...Polanco and Kim are better than the third base options and Mayer (I think) has the arm to play 3b. Not a good sign that the team is "challenging him" to hit the weight room though.

    Hes an elite hitter, we dont have anything close. Hes not just a DH. Papi wasnt a luxury when he was here. He was needed. A masher is needed. I dont think its easy to trade for an elite bat. Im interested tho if thats an option. You arent getting one for a quantity over quality of prospects tho, and you arent getting one from a team looking to compete.
  15. drewski6
    Heck yes i wanna get the best bat that we can because hes better than all options by a mile that I can see. I figure out the d but i dont let it stop me from signing an elite bat. Yoshida hit cleanup in the playoffs last year. You are going nowhere without fixing the offense and we have to replace Bregman and most likely an outfielder just to get back to where we were last year. Schwarber chops a lot of wood. Understood the age, but the dude can mash and slugging tends to hold up better than fielding. I wouldnt get suarez to play 3b for example, because hes about the age where turner couldnt field anymore. Schwarber will keep cracking em and we need that more than we need any position. The positions that I care most about our 2,3,4 hitters. Not who is going to play d at 1b. Right now the closest thing we have to a slugger is abreu, and thats now going to win in 2025. Doesnt matter how good the pitching and d is.

    An elite bat, who is anything close to youngish is going to get 400m minimum and 8 years. Prob 500m. In open market. ANd you arent going to get one in a trade with a poo-poo platter of prospects.
  17. drewski6
    Name one that is available
  18. drewski6
    No, if a team claims him off waivers, we can either pull him back and he stays on the 26 man , or let him go and other team absorbs full salary (why nobody would claim him)
  19. drewski6
    His bat more than plays. Our offense needs an elite bat more than this team needs anything. They can figure out the positions.
  20. drewski6
    Id rather have the depth than the 5m. People can and will get hurt.
  21. drewski6
    I recall the injury affected throwing, and it prevented him from taking the field, so they IL'd him because DH wasnt open because Raffy. Not the case this year.
  22. drewski6
    Only if Schwarber plays first. You do not let Yoshida stop you from grabbing the best bat that you can.
  23. drewski6
    No, he'd just have to clear waivers (which he would).
  24. drewski6
    You guys are all soooo anxious to move Yoshida, and Im not against it. But this dude batted cleanup for us in the playoffs and we've lost more bats than we've gained, soooo.......
  25. drewski6
    They did, last year. Well IL, not worcestor. But same thing, really. Just a park aside.
