    It doesn't. We have -0- future CBT obligations for him.
  2. JoeBrady
    IMO, his skillset translates to CF better. Speed v reaction time.
  3. JoeBrady
    I'm more of the opinion that it is a modest overpay, but the fit is compelling. I would do it, but I'd be a lot happier if Cincy threw in a decent lottery ticket, or if we could reasonably extend Lodolo for 3-4 years.
  4. JoeBrady
    Because we don't need four OFs. I agree on 2 quality SPs, but if we can trade one of our OFs for an equivalent WAR 1B, 2B, or 3B, why not?
  5. JoeBrady
    The MLB average last year was 27.5. If this allows us bigger improvements elsewhere, I am okay with it. My bigger concern might be that we also need Ref to spell Abreu and/or Duran against tough lefties.
  6. JoeBrady
    He is the key DD guy. I think they come to terms with Realmuto, but not certain. But Schwarber stays. I need Polymarket site for these things.
  7. JoeBrady
    It wasn't an overpayment. $32M for a one-year commitment and making the playoffs is easy money.
  8. JoeBrady
    BTV is just a fun tool to give you a ballpark idea of what a deal is worth. Don't overrate it, but it's like so many other BB metrics. They have value so long as you look at it from a 3rd party perspective.
  9. JoeBrady
    You need to gamble. There were a lot of RS fans that wanted nothing to do with Crochet because of a lack of proven history. If we want to get our next Crochet, we need to go to unproven guys with huge potential. I'd be looking at guys like Bubba Chandler or Chase Burns.

    I use to have visit our plant in Berlin, CT. I never gave it much thought until I showed up in a RS jersey. The amount of yelling (good-natured) back and forth was astonishing. They considered their little village the cut-off between NY & Boston.

    It doesn't. Most everything I do everyday gets done because of people that are billionaires, or really rich if they aren't billionaires. We don't have these conversations if not for people like Gates, Dell, Ellison, etc. I don't have a Dick Tracy phone without Steve Jobs. Do you think you'd have any of this is these people stopped working after they made their first billion? But just for fun, try living for a week without any of the toys that are supplied by people that have made a lot of money off of it. No Windows OS, no Dell computer, no HP printer, no Apple phone, nothing that was delivered to you by Amazon.

    It could work. I doubt we trade two OFs, but if the opportunity was too good to pass up, then Ceddanne, Anthony, and a LF platoon of Yoshi/Ref is something I can live with. See if Duran can land us a #2 with control, and see if Abreu can land us a power IF bat with control (I see no matchups).
  13. JoeBrady
    That's because Duran and Ceddanne are both CFs. Abreu is a great glove, but RFs are less in demand.
  14. JoeBrady
    I agree. I always think in terms of how the other teams view our players. Other teams might love Tolle and dislike Early, and vice versa. In this example, if Mayer got us 20% more in value over Arias, I'd be very comfortable keeping Arias.
  15. JoeBrady
    Teams like Cincy & Pitt have way more pitching than hitting. It's like asking why Boston would trade one of their best players if we are trying to compete. It's all about fit.
  16. JoeBrady
    I agree. But just because they want more, doesn't mean I'll pay more, for just one year.
  17. JoeBrady
    $31.7M. We live in a world that recognizes deferrals.
  18. JoeBrady
    There is no chance Wong plays 1B next year.
  19. JoeBrady
    BR has Narvaez with a .686 OPSa and Wong with a .693. You could do a weighted-average to get more precise, but I think Wong will handily out-perform his salary.
  20. JoeBrady
    I find that hard to believe. Care to supply some support?
  21. JoeBrady
    We played .500 with Devers and .589 since the trade.
  22. JoeBrady
    All we can do is hope for them to spend top the limit, and hopefully beyond. How they spend the salary is not part of the informal fan/ownership agreement.
  23. JoeBrady
    Almost no chance.
  24. JoeBrady
    If he wasn't getting that last year, he won't get it this year, being one year older.
  25. JoeBrady
    Alcantara is not injured. He made 31 GS last and finished very well.
