Anyone know how the AAV for a player applies to the tax in a midseason trade that includes cash? For example, Kris Bryant is set to make $27...
Definitely bargain shopping. We’re now past all the multi-year 9-figure spending…we sat out of that just like we do every year. I like the idea...
I lean against Profar, because he’s not a better bat than McCormick, and may not be better than Meyers. Not sure what he brings other than a...
As others have mentioned, I much prefer the “dynasty” to “window” approach. That will regularly require you to do things that the fans don’t like....
That might be Brantley now as well. I’d be fine with either.
Well said. The problem these teams face is that you need about 17 good/great players in the playoffs to win it all, and another solid 17-23 guys...
In 2-3 years, half the guys that just signed mega contracts will be on the “least trade value” side of that ledger.
Hopefully they sign Swanson, and trade the SS for a high end reliever that we will shell in the playoffs.
Creative! Im guessing Swanson will go well above anything we would offer.
Very fair, and expected you would think.
Brantley = 1 year $10ish million Benintendi = 5 years $75 million ($15 per) Yeah…I’ll take Brantley at that rate.
Man I don’t know…I don’t think you can do that to Brown. Seems pretty underhanded.
I like that, especially since other than Peña, we don’t have another high end infield prospect.
That's another issue, but I would think the math adjusts somewhat with market prices. Bryant on a 6 year deal in the mid-$20s isn't anywhere close...
I would be surprised if living in Colorado was a real reason. Yes Colorado is beautiful, but during the season he would be trapped in Denver for...
My concern there is will Crane go into the tax in 2024? Only Maldonado (and maybe Neris) falls off and your arbitration guys probably puts you at...
That's kind of where I am right now. Both Conforto and Brantley are coming off shoulder issues. One is a power hitter (Conforto), the other is...
As I mentioned earlier, plantar fasciitis is a complete fluke. I wouldn't even call it an "injury"...nothing structural happened, but it is...
2B Altuve SS Pena LF/DH Yordan 3B Bregman RF Tucker 1B Abreu DH/LF (empty) CF McCormick C Maldonado INF Hensley C Diaz and/or Lee OF Meyers and/or...
@IdStrosfan can Hensley play SS/2B? That would solve the one positional hole I see on this team.
