So apparently Kris Bryant didn’t realize the Rockies are a dogshit joke of an organization when he signed there.



Strikes me as a pretty big gently caress up by his agent to let him feel rushed into such an impactful decision.
So he just didn’t talk to a single player then

I thought everyone knew by now that org is a joke

It’s still bizarre to me that the Cardinals’ FO rushed out the door at the beginning of ST to sign three old and/or inconsistent starters

Those are typically the guys you sign at a discount in Jan/Feb

It’s really funny as hell that Bauer couldn’t manage to get any traction with his giant PR team despite all of the CHUDS who would generally support that kind of guy, and now he’s just barely hanging on to his career

Bauer’s biggest problem (besides being a piece of poo poo) is that he can’t keep his mouth shut and let his people do their work to try and get him a job. If he had done things quietly there was potentially a small chance he goes to Indy ball or something. But he feels so entitled to play in the majors that he can’t help but whine on socials.

If I were to take a guess I'd say it's PCA > Caissie > Alcantara > Canario > Davis from most to least untouchable, although Caissie's been making quite the case since last year to be flipped with PCA. Alcantara is meanwhile still a lot of toolsy hype, Davis can't stay healthy, and Canario probably just gets squeezed out past a certain point unless there's a big OF injury or he proves he's a better 4th OF option than Tauchman.

PCA's got baseline value solely with his glove and legs, but he's had a miserable spring and I think he's gonna have to prove for longer he can hit in AAA before he gets another look. Caissie struck out way too much in AA last year but did it while putting up eye-boggling batted ball metrics, followed by doing nothing but hitting the poo poo out of the ball this spring. Feels like he could get fast-tracked up, especially since they've apparently been tinkering with having him at 1B as well.
Davis seems like he’s never going to stay healthy long enough to do anything so I could see him as a trade or DFA candidate down the road

I was just reminding myself of what the Pirates got for Cole, and the answer is not much. The only really quality guy of the four they got back was Joe Musgrove, who they ended up also trading a couple years later

To me it's pretty clear that the owners used the uncertainties regarding local TV deals to reduce FA spending. The Dodgers were one of the few exceptions because their TV situation is different.
