I was including your option for 25. So basically this is a one year extension with an option year and buyout. I think he’d slam the door on this...
Verlander is making 28 mill this year. I don’t know why he would negotiate something less than that at this point of the season.
To me it’s not what Keuchel is worth; it is whether he is the best investment given our budget.
That’s 17.5 mil per year. We are roughly 29 mil under the luxury cap. Do you really want to invest all but 11.5 mil of our cap space on Keuchel?...
I agree there too. The whole point of bringing in Brantley was to upgrade LF. Getting rid of White—one of our most productive players in 2018–to...
I don’t see any value with Marwin at DH. His entire value is being on the field as a versatile player.
If that's the case, then you would have to run with: C: Chirinos, Stassi IF: Altuve, Gurriel, Bregman, Correa, Marwin, Diaz, White OF: Brantley,...
I appreciate the well-thought-out response. I agree with The Beard--I don't see us committing to a 13-man offense throughout the year; especially...
Morton was an "invaluable and proven clutch postseason" pitcher. Where's he at now? Bottom line on Marwin...where would he fit on our roster?...

Justin Verlander: $25,714,286 Michael Brantley: $16,000,000 Josh Reddick: $13,000,000 George Springer: $12,000,000 Yuli Gurriel: $9,500,000 Jose...
J.T. interest seems to be heating up. I wonder if that means the price is coming down, or if teams like the Dodgers and Padres are opening up...
Bonds, Clemens
When no news is news, the news is no fun.
It's definitely a popularity content. Frustrating at times, for sure.
No to DK. Even 15 mil per year for 4+ years is more than I'd like to gamble.
While analytics certainly helps many players gain contracts, it also identifies elements of regression. Teams are more leery of giving out max...
Yes, keeping the future in mind when you make deals now IS important.
If we signed Harper, I’d make that deal. I don’t care to rely on Tucker and White for RF/DH.
