Apparently the Yankee fallback if they don't get Rodon is to bring back Eovaldi? That is loving bleak.

The Twins should fire the front office and make Joe Pohlad owner/GM. Then fire Rocco and make Buxton player/manager. They’d save a lot of money, which seems to be the primary goal of the franchise.

I slept on it, and it's cool that the Giants signed a guy. I presume Brandon Crawford will play 2nd and possibly some 3rd. He's never played anything but short in the big leagues. Awkward... Giants infield defense should be a lot better next year.

MrMidnight posted:Rodon and Dansby are the last A-level free agents. Bunch of B and C left though. Extremely lol that Austin "Literally the worst hitting Catcher of the entire season with a sub-.500 OPS 2022 season" is one of the top free agents left on the board at catcher. There's a reason Cleveland didn't re-sign him even if they value defense over offense at the plate.

I don't get the online rhetoric about how these contracts are too long. I'm guessing most of these teams understand the finals years are not going to get them anything and this is just a way of deferring money. If you release Correa after 10 years, it becomes a contract with an AAV of $35 million. Something that's more than fair for what his talent level is. Also, in 10 years, a $30 million contract might not be much. A new TV deal would have been signed. You have inflation. I can look back at deals like Yu Darvish which were considered huge investments in talent past their prime which look like bargains now.

I wonder how long Royce Lewis will actually be now and what his prospects actually are after a second ACL surgery. Will he be still he a good SS? Do we move him to 3B and have Swanson's be A Guy for several years? Like, I was on board with Correa because everyone knew he'd be leaving and he was a splash to be a bridge to Lewis, but now I legit don't know what the gently caress. I feel like the Twins are just in a loop of shuffling deck chairs for a the next several years. Moreso than usual. Like, IS there a plan? rickiep00h fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Dec 14, 2022 |

Sounds like they want to try Miranda as the everyday third baseman and see how that goes. I feel like I'd almost rather just bridge the gap to Lewis with Nick Gordon at SS than commit to Swanson long term.

You signed this antisocial bigot with a history of harassing women online. It bit you in the rear end, so now you need to suck it up and not use him as an excuse for why you can't spend on players.

whats the point in maintaining a 110 win team if you're the Dodgers just to get bounced and watch the Phillies make the world series. they have the money to spend, sure, but they also have like a 20 win cushion on even making the playoffs

I know we live in the George era where everyone always has to be getting better but do the Dodgers and Astros really have to be giving out massive 10 year contracts right now? Obviously everyone's got holes and ways they could get better but those are clearly the two teams with the least number of them and least reason to give a massive deal they might regret down the line to try and get over the hump. Plus the top tier free agent pool is drying up but it still feels like there's a lot of those parts guys left and lots of room for a team to fill small holes in non splashy ways. And there's probably gonna be a bit of a delay where guys like Benintendi are like "wait, everyone else made a shitload of money... can't I?" and the teams are hitting the breaks and trying to readjust the market.
