STAC Goat posted: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. I have a feeling the Dodgers have been quiet this offseason because they are going to be making Ohtani an over $500 million contract offer next offseason

TBH he was a better fallback for the Yankees if they don't get Rodon than Eovaldi.

Syndergaard had like a 6.3 K/9 last year, which is about as little as you can possibly strike guys out before it becomes untenable. Kudos to him for still managing to hover around league average ERA and reinventing himself as a contact manager but I just don't see how he looks any better unless he figures out how to strike some more guys out again. That said it's the Dodgers picking him up so I fully expect a peak 2016-esq year out of him next season.

Syndergaard is only cooked in the sense that he isn't Thor anymore. He was a serviceable league average kinda arm from what I remember when he was with the Angels. Didn't quite eat the amount of innings I hoped for but also wasn't a total disaster every start

IcePhoenix posted: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. Yeah, if the Twins are gonna blow their money load on a major FA at this point, I'd rather see it spent on Rodon. They should hopefully be fine at SS between Gordon and Farmer until Lewis returns.

I'll always have a soft spot for the 2020 season (but not the year itself lol gently caress 2020) for the Athletics putting on their big boy pants and shittalking the Astros, getting blown out by them in the playoffs, then turning into.... this a mere two years later e: If you count the Dodgers in 2020 then you have to count the Lakers in 2020 so 2020 shouldn't count

The only thing during the COVID-19 era of sports I'll actually miss was the NHL Outdoor games at Lake Tahoe. Just a beautiful location devoid of distractions. If only the weather had cooperated, it would've been perfect. MLB should've played games in weird locations in 2020, like Coney Island.

Meanwhile in the Twin Cities sports media there are people seriously and unironically saying they should have sold Correa at the deadline last year. Bear in mind, they were in first place at the deadline. Just a loser mentality all around. Nordic miserabilists, every last one of us.

Bear in mind, they were in first place at the deadline. I do think it's fair to note that Correa's demands were pretty well known publicly (and I have to imagine better known privately), and the team chose to spray a little Tyler Mahle on the raging tire fire of the rotation, hope for luck, and then gamble on nobody being willing to top their offer to Correa. This turning out with no playoff appearance and $285m not being enough to sign Correa wasn't a guarantee but neither outcome is even a little shocking. If you want to go all in on 2022, outbid the Mariners for Castillo and be all in. If you don't want to do that but want Correa as your cornerstone for the next decade, then outbid the Giants and make him your cornerstone. If you're not willing to do either and that results in you easily missing the expanded playoffs and letting Correa walk for nothing, then you'll have to accept people suggesting you handled it wrong.

Paracaidas posted:Kind of tough to say without knowing what was/would have been on offer. If it was like the Cruz deal with Ryan and another future 40man casualty? Nah. Berrios deal, with a top 20 and top 100ish guy? Maybe but probably not. The Soto deal? In a heartbeat (if for no other reason than it would have improved the 22 team AND the future). Obviously, nobody was giving the Soto deal, but there is a level where the deal would have been worth taking. Stop. Not selling your best player at the deadline when you're the division leader is unequivocally the correct move for a team that isn't run by loving losers. The fans would have abandoned the team in droves and been a BILLION percent correct to do so if they'd made that kind of insane chickenshit galaxy brain move. This does not change simply because their free agent, shocker of shockers, left in free agency, or that they didn't psychically know that they'd be completely hosed by injuries by the end of the season. They did not come out of this with nothing. They got one year of the best shortstop in baseball instead of half a year of him plus whatever assortment of guys who MIGHT be good SOMEDAY that a team would be willing to part with to get a guy who's on a rental deal anyway. (It would not be anywhere CLOSE to the Soto price). Imagine if Bill Smith had the brains to realize that the poo-poo platter he got from the Mets in 2008 wasn't going to come close to equaling even one year of the best pitcher in baseball. They missed the playoffs by ONE game that year. What could they have done with one more crack at the playoffs with a Cy Young Award winner in the rotation? Maybe we wouldn't be talking about the longest playoff victory drought in history if this organization hadn't panicked and been more afraid of losing him for "only" two compensatory draft picks than they were about fielding a competitive team. You can say that they should've nutted up and made the overpay, sure. Or that they should have looked elsewhere in free agency this year from the beginning. Falvine did a bad job of expectations management to start this offseason and have put themselves in a position where anything less than signing Rodon will be considered a disappointment. But to wave the white flag in the middle of a pennant race that you're WINNING just. Isn't. On. The table. It is not a possibility in the mind of anyone whose brains don't drizzle out their nose when they sneeze. maruhkati fucked around with this message at 09:01 on Dec 15, 2022 |
