Cardinals are going to come out of this off-season with a negative salary after factoring in the Arenado money.

The second best position player bat on the Cardinals in the broken year of 2020 was Harrison Bader, and it wasn't even particularly close. The Cardinals need a drat outfield bat to go along with Goldy/Arenado for me to have *any* hope they do anything other than squeak into the playoffs and lose again.

Also can we please ship off Carpenter for a $2m savings as well please. (The savings on Fowler was legit like, $2m. Cardinals are sending them like $12m of his $14m left)

How much more competitive can the Dodgers offer be?

Yea, I looked, there are no outfield bats available. We could sign ONE MARCELL OZUNA again but he's a horrible defender and probably hates STL. And I know we are sticking with O'Neill/Bader/Carlson. The defense is going to be incredible on this team. Gonna have an 85 OPS+ outfield.

I doubt the Dodgers are offering more money, it’s rumored he prefers LA so maybe wants them to match.

I hope it’s just his agent trying to use LA to leverage more out of the Mets. Bauer melting down at the NY media would be an entertaining subplot.

I mean, I feel for Wong having to field that loving landmine of a question. "Do you think your new team plays the right way?" like what the gently caress are you going to say, no? I guess he could have used it as an excuse to dunk on the Cardinals but he already did that on twitter when they re-upped Wainwright.

Not my money (directly) and Bauer is a dipshit but he's a dipshit who's a pretty good to ace pitcher.

I actually prefer the short money and in this case I'm good with the opt outs. Ideally he pitches 220 innings of 130 ERA+ ball each of the next 1-2 seasons and then fucks off to Colorado where the Monforts will end up giving the Padres 100m dollars to get out of his contract shortly before the 2025 season.

I'd feel this way if he were nearly any other pitcher, but Bauer is a particularly notable dipshit rear end in a top hat (who also has a very uneven pitching record) and I'd really rather not watch him pitch for my team.

I'm hoping he goes to New York where he doesn't live up to this $40M a year price tag and we get some absolutely beautiful Mets Bauer NY media meltdowns.

he's absolutely a good pitcher but I don't think he'd fetch anything like $40M in an offseason with another couple of really good pitchers available

and if we have $40M to spend we could have gotten literally the 3 best available bullpen arms on the market for less

I suppose at least we didn't give him like 6-7 years, one or two years of his bullshit I can probably tolerate but no more

e: if Hey Man is right I hope that $40M stays on the table now and doesn't go right back into Cohen's pocket

Justin Turner (who is not presently a Dodger for some strange reason) is also a noted flag-humper and US military worshiper, but he expresses it by signing balls and being nice to the "military hero of the game" instead of mouthing off on twitter about how we should bomb more Yemeni weddings or whatever.
