    Fred forgets quickly, but the purpose of the post was to use the word 'cheap'. So his to-do list is done.
  2. JoeBrady
    Fair enough. The way I see it, we have 12 automatics, plus Casas (IL), and either Eaton or Sogard. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say, "MY" preferred roster is one player away. Just imho, we are currently a playoff team, with 1st place aspirations. With the addition of someone like Paredes, particularly if we can keep Duran, then we are a 1st place team with aspirations of the WS.

    And my position is that they have at least one more big move left. But I am not going to sign every day to repeat that assertion. But you be you.
  4. JoeBrady
    He might be the most active GM in the game right now.
  5. JoeBrady
    I see no issue. I see something that could become an issue, but right now, we are exactly one player away from having our 26-man roster. With 6 weeks to go. And I'd bet that Breslow has some parameters set on guys like Paredes, Baty, etc.

    I have no idea why this shouldn't be the default logic. Everyone has to have a number, even the real wealthy teams weren't go to pay Tucker $100M a year. Everyone in here has probably looked at a house or a car or a job, loved it, but decided the number was wrong.
  7. JoeBrady
    #3 is management's & owner's prerogative. But #1 & #2 are basically the same thing. We had a number, Bregman & the Cubs had a different number. So the RS used the Bregman money to land Suarez. That's what everyone in here has done at various points in their lives.
  8. JoeBrady
    He's just copying his previous posts.

    I don't consider that close whatsoever. Marte has averaged 128 GS over the past five years, and only one seasons > 137 GS. There is a decent chance we only get 2 good years, 2 mediocre, and 3 poor years. And trading Mayer for an infielder does nothing to address our need for an infielder.
  10. JoeBrady
    It does matter. Even if you cannot afford to keep the talent, you can trade the talent, often for more long-term value. And even poorer teams can extend occasionally. MN, KC, CL, Athletics, Nats, Brewers, Pirates & Rox have all extended players. You have to be judicious on whom you extend, but you can do so successfully.
  11. JoeBrady
    The only way it works is if the players take a percentage of the gross, like FB or B-ball. If you get to that point, which could easily favor players, then chop TV revenues, and then it doesn't matter.
  12. JoeBrady
    He picked Mayer #1 in '21, Romero #1 in '22, and Teel #1 in '23, so I don't think he ignored defense, And two biggest problems, Devers and Casas, were already here.
  13. JoeBrady
    Anything is possible, and again, we will never know the details. To me, I get the player or I don't. I'm not overly concerned about who said what to nwhom.
  14. JoeBrady
    Any team can defer. Cleveland just deferred a lot on Ramirez.
  15. JoeBrady
    Some guys, no matter how much I like them, are hands-off.
  16. JoeBrady
    Which owners will be unhappy? There might be ten teams who voluntarily exceed the cap. There might be ten more who are not going to go close to the cap. So you're going to have 20 teams that have no interest in a hard cap/floor.
  17. JoeBrady
    We don't know and never will. Breslow had a number, and the Cubs exceeded that. It's like you're buying a house that you think is worth $400k, and the owner won't take less than $440k. If you disagree with the $440k, that in no way implies that you failed.
  18. JoeBrady
    Good for everyone.
  19. JoeBrady
    Some would have praised Brez had he signed Bregman to fill in the blank amount. The same people that criticized Breslow for not signing Bregman, would have criticized Breslow for overpaying for Bregman. We know this like it is etched in stone.
  20. JoeBrady
    Without an acquisition, Mayer will start at 3rd, and Romy/DHam will platoon at 2nd.
  21. JoeBrady
    As someone else pointed out, the fact that the Suarez deal came together so quickly means that they had already come together on numbers, pending the Bregman results. Nothing mysterious here.
  22. JoeBrady
    Does he have to?
  23. JoeBrady
    Not to mention #1 in bWAR among position players.
  24. JoeBrady
    He had a 95 OPS+ with huge advances in his K/W. I find it interesting that continued improvement isn't really considered. He's 25. Most players peak at about age 28.
  25. JoeBrady
    Funny, but never blaspheme the Moody Blues.
