Mike_V posted:Are the Cubs trying to compete or not? Why sign Taillon and make big overtures for a star SS if you're gonna let your Mike Piazza-lite walk for nothing? They are not trying to compete. They'll make a safe free agent signing here and there (less than 5 years, less than $100 million) so they aren't horrendous. Otherwise, they're content to sit around the middle of the pack in payroll, win 70-80 games, and hope a bunch of prospects all pan out at around the same time. I was hoping to be wrong and see them finally splurge for a star, but at this point signing Dansby Swanson feels like a monumental ask.

bawfuls posted:or maybe every team can afford to spend on good players and the "small market" line is bullshit billionaires use to depress labor costs  It’s definitely nice to see guys getting paid, even if it doesn’t always make sense on paper. Teams can more than afford these contracts and the last few offseasons felt like everything was trending toward undervalued team-friendly deals.

Edit: sorry I completely misread the above post ^^^ Glad to see the Padres go all-in in such a bizarre way. They need one more pitcher but expectations are gonna be sky-high going into next season illcendiary fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Dec 8, 2022 |

Wow. That’s a hell of a contract. I really do hope Correa ends up back in Minnesota but I now half fear he gets a panic monster contract from Boston and I have to be annoyed by him forever.

On paper the Padres have read like a team that should have easily won the WS at least once in the last 3 seasons.

The idea with Tatis is probably to eventually turn him into a centerfielder.

They aren't going to extend him and they aren't looking to be competitive in the coming years. You trade prospects for good players when you're competing. The Cubs are not.

Big Mean Jerk posted:On paper the Padres have read like a team that should have easily won the WS at least once in the last 3 seasons. I haven't watched a lot of Padres games, but Bob Melvin horribly mis-managed the bullpen in the NLCS. Without doing additional research, I might guess Bob isn't utilizing the team's talent as best he could.

Basically, this is the Sox fandom right now: Every Right Thinking Red Sox Fan: "We love you X, we want to keep you. What's it going to take to keep you?" X: "The Padres have offered me 11 years, 280 million and a full no-trade. Every Right Thinking Red Sox Fan: "Let us help you pack. We'll miss you."

This is far from the first winter people have predicted the Padres would unseat LA, and so far we haven't seen that manifest over 162 games.

SirFozzie posted:Basically, this is the Sox fandom right now: I’d rather have the better player for the remaining life (5 years or whatever) of Story’s contract. The AAV and contract length is a John Henry problem not a fan problem. In 6-7 years with additional TV money the AAV is going to make up a smaller and smaller percentage of these teams’ caps

bawfuls posted:The Dodgers have lost pieces and the Padres have gained some thus far this winter yes. I do not believe the net change has been 20-ish wins. I don't think they entered the winter with rosters of equal strength. If we’re being honest the difference is more like 30 games (going off pythag) lol But yeah you’re right the Padres will figure out how to somehow squeeze only 91 wins out of this team I bet
