    I didnt say the CBT is irrelevant, im just saying that looking at the cash outlay alongside it provides context. Correct, Ohtanis 2m cash outlay is very relevant, and its as relevant as the 46m CBT hit (which is also relevant)

    With how he remade the pitching dev here, a few of the smaller orgs would dump hot-seat their CBO's/GM's to sign interview him to a POBO/CBO position for their org. And then breslow would blow it, cuz he doesnt interview well If I walk in to interview you and you are sitting their defiantly and smugly , I already have my answer. Cuz chances are you are compensating for a lack of skills/experience with bravado, and ive seen that movie too many times to get fooled by it again. When interviewees are over the top confident, its a red flag. If you wanna win a job that you are a bit long shot for, you do it with asking the right questions at the end, not by pounding your chest and talking about your past accomplishments Its all about vision anyways.

    agree both numbers are relevant.
  4. drewski6
    I dont think so, at least not at same level. Not saying he couldnt get another job as CBO somewhere, but its not a guarantee it would be immediate or happen at all. I think if we sacked him, hed def get offers as a GM somewhere but thats a lower position than he has now

    Would you rather: Roman Anthony make 7m this year and count 18m towards the luxury tax. Or Roman Anthony make 7m this year and count 7m towards the luxury tax (giving us another 11m to spend) Now I understand that this overlooks the future savings that we hope to receive from locking up RA. I get that by increasing Romans 7m tax hit to 18m, we get him 6,7,8 years down the road at a more affordable price. But really , its moving money around. They bought a future discount on Roman. They didnt buy Roman. And they could have kept Roman cheap, and used that money to go get more players and had a better team in the short term. Not to say that I dont agree with locking him up, but what I am saying is that only looking at the tax completely ignores this kind of thing. THey increased RA's tax hit in 2026, 2027, 2028 (by a lot) to lessen his tax hit 2031,2032,2033. I dont think they should get full credit for this "spending" and only looking at CBT ignores that this purchase was really jsut buying furute discounts.

    Of course the cash is relevant. For example, the red sox are paying roman 7m this year, but crediting themselves 18m because they bought future years of his at a discount, and the averaging of the yearly for CBT calculation purposes makes them look more spendy than they are. There are ways to more out of the CBT. Not all luxury tax bills at a given amount are created equal.

    What role are you penciling Hicks into that you are worried would need to be replaced , haha?
  8. drewski6
    Hes trying to get teams to submit something close to a best and final to know exactly who/what is on the table. Not the very end and I agree, theres more time. Its mostly posturing to advance the stage of various one on one trade talks between Dbacks and other teams We see it all the time.
  9. drewski6
    Jamex Paxton or Paxton Crawford?
  10. drewski6
    I think Dodgers view teoscar as "in the way" but would see Hicks as a gamble to potentially help their bp and i think theyre still looking to add there. Of course, im not sure theyd do it.
  11. drewski6
    I think they would because they are interested in bullpen help, and a Hicks resurgence could help them. Plus 104 mph will always have teams believing they can fix him.

    My spiderman v spiderman comment would prob be "postional veratility" on one spiderman and "noodlebat" on the other.
  14. drewski6
    I would do all 4 of those pitchers for marte in a heartbeat lol. Crawford, Harrison, Dobbins, Sandoval. And wed still have Crochet, Gray, Tolle, Oviedo, Early, Bello, Drohan, Uberstine Could use one more 3/4 starter, so maybe try to hold Crawford back but if you need to include him you do and maybe sign a #5 starter.
  15. drewski6
    Yup, BOYS can contribute but you need MEN to win in the playoffs. Even Jordan didnt dominate his first few years in NBA

    With you on this.

    Our offense needs help, and its not going to come from Mayer who is not strong at all (Breslow challenged him on that) or Anthony (who does not have all of his man-strength yet) or Casas (he's not healthy, nor is he particularly good when he is healthy) Some of the help may come from those guys, but if we are counting on this group, then its just more complacency and more third or fourth place.
  22. drewski6
    Because Marte is better than every single hitter on the red sox currently by a significant margin. Next question
  23. drewski6
    I think Anthony could sophmore slump, and we shouldnt ask this much of a 22 year old either (he doesnt even have his man strength yet). Abreu (good point), Mayer (also doesnt have man strength, cant count on health and hes never shown an ability to be a plus hitter in MLB, but hes lifting weights now, so Im open to it, but its a question mark), Casas isnt healthy (theyve been telling you that), Yoshida = okay, but hes mostly a singles guy without the wheels. These BOYS are not a replacement for Duran, Bregman, Devers (MEN). ANd also, its not like you get all of Abreu when comparing to last year's team. Its about how much additonal WAR are you going to get on top of the WAR you got from Abreu last year.
  24. drewski6
    No. Marte is a proven, extremely good hitter. We have 0 of those. Okamoto is not that. The closest thing we have is Duran. Losing Duran and bringing in Okamoto is a minus to an already weak offense.
  25. drewski6
    My only issue is your belief that Early is better than Tolle, but I hate parting with either. But gotta give to get. My offer is Rafaela + Bello. Tolle's upside is Crochet.
