I’m warming up to it as well if the price is right. Basically, it’s a Bellinger move — if he can hit, he’s a quality OF and a dangerous bat. If...
Ohtani will hit free agency next year at the same age as Nimmo is this year. His bat is a step better than Nimmo's, and I'd argue his availability...
Yep... for a left fielder that's more or less average, you can also try the Braves 2021 approach -- play it out and see if you can strike...
He's probably my least favorite name out there. He's a great left fielder that can't really play center, and his value as a LF is muted at Minute...
Looking at the A's roster, Tony Kemp is the only guy past 1st year arbitration. It's nuts. I think I'd bite the bullet on Brown/Garcia for...
I agree, the tradeoff is sign Contreras or trade for Murphy and have to backfill pitching (if you can even agree to terms). In your...
I think I'd go 4 years, but 5 is dicey. Catchers have a bad habit of falling off a cliff after 30. Guys who were premium offensive catchers in...
You would bet on Lee/Diaz over Leon (and McCormick/Myers)?
So you're telling me we could have gotten Josh Bell AND half of Pedro Baez OR Niko Goodrom for the price of Jose Abreu?
Agreed -- especially if we're looking in the next 2 years. If you look back at the recent World Series champions, it's almost always a vet at...
Why didn't we pinch hit for Yordan when teams put in lefties in the playoffs?
I kind of think Crane is gearing up for it Last Dance style, with a strong 3 year run followed by a rebuild. The decision 2 years from now for...
.800 career road OPS. Impressive.
Went to HS in Texas as well. There's some rationale to picking him up to play elder statesman and take part in a 6 man rotation.
I wonder what the terms look like? Is it basically whether or not his arm falls off?
Berryhill and Correa are fringe prospects at best. Diaz may be a positional move candidate and Lee didn't show anything that Max Stassi or Garrett...
None of those seem like cheap trade options. The outfielders are interesting as there's a number of viable free agent targets that don't seem...
Different A's pitcher -- Paul Blackburn. Bassitt did however say the Astros were a scape goat and were made an example of to stop all of the...
What's interesting is this is a bit of a construct -- it's not exactly either/or. There's a pretty easy path to plenty of usage for for Contreras...
I’ve convinced myself Contreras is the right move given those dynamics. Productivity out of the catcher spot is very difficult. If Contreras is...
