Ehh paying a reliever nearly 100 million seems like a bad idea. Hopefully I'm wrong. It's very close to the Edwin Diaz deal looking further into it. Mets fans, how you feeling about that deal?

Inspector_666 posted:I dunno how much of a market there is for McCullers, especially as a pure salary dump. When he was healthy McCullers was good and he's only owed 3/53 going forward which in the current pitching market is an absolute bargain for a 2/3 type. If the Astros really wanted to unload him I imagine there'd be interested teams. MrMidnight posted:I would have rather gotten Neris back. Pressly better keep his closer role lol you didn't just pay Hader $95M to be Pressly's setup guy. He's going to close.

I like Pressly a hell of lot but Hader is obviously better than him. Fantastic 1-2 punch though for sure, but so much money is tied to it.

They'd probably feel pretty decent about it if he didn't die in Spring Training. 5 years/$95 million is both a ton of dollars and a ton of years for a reliever though. Outside of a few exceptions, it seems like you are better off just making good selections off the scrap heap since relievers are so volatile.

I did say the other day the only reliver I'd ever want to see signed to a big time deal is a generational closer so I guess we'll see if Hader continues where he left off last year or goes back to the three years before that.

The Astros have been fantastic in developing relievers lately too. This whole signing feels off to me.

Hader's deal is apparently worth more than Diaz's in terms of real money because Diaz has a bunch of deferrals baked in.

I wonder what the most recent “most expensive deal for a reliever” is where the team ended up feeling good about it

bravesword posted:I wonder what the most recent “most expensive deal for a reliever” is where the team ended up feeling good about it Jansen got 5/80 from the Dodgers back in in the 2016 offseason and went on to put up a really solid five year run for them, with 2019 being the only real bump. Chapman also got 5/86 from the Yankees the same year and likewise had a really good stretch for them that included three AS appearances, he was bad in 2022 but by then they'd gotten five very good years out of him.

Jansen on that 5 year deal, ages 29-33: 296.1 IP, 158 ERA+, 2.98 FIP, 0.975 WHIP In the postseason: 43 IP, 1.88 ERA, 2.80 FIP, and a very unfortunate -15.67% cWPA. Most of that is gm5 2017 and gm4 2020 bawfuls fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Jan 19, 2024 |

As soon as Phillips hit the single he didn't even say anything he just looked at me, got up, and went to his room. I did not see him until the following afternoon.

Huh for some reason I remembered Arozarena falling down and having to flop his way to the plate but it was just being out by a mile and being bailed out by the catcher not fielding it

Mustached Demon posted:More importantly, why hasn't the Cubs paid my good friend Cody Bellinger lots of money yet? Boras wants a megadeal for him and the Cubs--and other teams, I think--are wary of handing one out, wondering whether his 2023 season was a return to form, or if he'll turn back into the pumpkin who had OPS+ seasons of 44 and 81 in 2020 and 2021.

I get that some of the Cubs players want Bellinger back, but I would not pay him that kind of money when there is a very high chance that he goes back to being a pumpkin

This is such a weird contract to do given Crane's history and it probably does mean losing Bregman and/or Tucker so yeah I am not happy

Crane's adamant refusal to give out deals longer than five years is going to send the team back in the tank once the talent dries up. Yordan and Tucker are the only young stars left (no I'm not forgetting Pena) and Tucker's about to walk. Not much left in the farm to replace any of the guys leaving so it's becoming more and more of a patchwork to the point where Jake Meyers is going to have to be an everyday player and you're hoping Dubon can recapture a little magic. Oof. I'll enjoy the ride for a couple more years then I guess watch everyone dance on their graves until they can rebuild. If Hader is still elite he'll probably waive his no trade to get out of here fast cars loose anus posted:This is such a weird contract to do given Crane's history and it probably does mean losing Bregman and/or Tucker so yeah I am not happy Crane would have to get over his five year thing for either of them to have a chance of staying regardless of the Hader deal or any other contract currently on the books Intruder fucked around with this message at 00:51 on Jan 20, 2024 |
