This doesn’t strike me as a meet in the middle thing. From everything he’s said or done, it seems like total value and length of contract are...
That falls into the Correa wanted to take his time bucket.
I interpret this to mean that the front office has an understanding of his expectations (presumably in contract length) and isn’t willing to do...
It's possible the Rangers just liked Seager more than Correa. He's been better offensively and his overall skill set should theoretically age a...
I assume he's willing to wait for this reason. I'm sure setting himself up long term is the goal, but there are also going to be a lot of teams...
Mostly because they just lost Seager and they have shown willingness to spend big. The remaining free agent pitching options are getting thin and...
Money talks when the difference is tens of millions or more. Any team willing to spend what it takes on quality players is probably a reasonable...
Personally, I don’t think execs give much of a crap about that and fans of whatever team he goes to will suddenly have collective amnesia.
Given the Baez contract and the both the Semien and Segear contracts were from the Rangers and larger than expected, I think it’s fair to say the...
Unless the Tigers are pulling a Rangers, Correa is looking like a Dodger, Philly, or Yankee I guess.
He’s a little better than Correa offensively, but only average defensively. His skillset should theoretically age a little better and he’s left...
Feel free to pile on. I was not expecting the Rangers to sign another SS and took the Semien deal to indicate they were not interested in a...
You are correct. The Braves had pitching depth including in-house developed. In 6 of their 11 playoff wins, the score 4 runs or fewer. While...
I don’t disagree with any of this and I’d rather teams put out a competitive and enjoyable to watch product even when they aren’t likely to be in...
I'm all for teams spending even when they aren't likely to win the WS and obviously these deals make them more competitive than they were before....
Either that or Carlos just didn’t want to sign before the CBA deadline and Seager / Rangers wanted to move sooner. Obviously this sets a comp,...
I’m not trying to debate the individual issues, Luhnow’s direct involvement in them, or play what-aboutism compared to other GMs. I’m just saying...
A general manager is responsible for the overall operations of their part of a company. So hiring, training, management of staff, culture, etc....
Opt out after 2 and a no-trade as well. Obviously Verlander is higher risk, but his contract doesn’t look bad in comparison. I know some people...
Outside of the player evaluations/trades, there were also some significant issues with Luhnow’s management overall which is ultimately the...
