Hopefully they saved a little for Harper
I'm just glad a non NL East team made a major move

A little misleading stats though. To be truthful you need to account the top 6 teams and the bottom 6 teams and see how often and how far they advance. I think you would see the better teams typically advance farther and more often over the lessor teams. Not to say a team can get hot and win it all. But the likely hold is smaller than a great team doing what it should and winning.

No player is worth that insane of a contract. Just stupid

And good for the Friars committing to trying to win. They have good pitching in the minors so this might not be a play for this year but next and down the line.

Franmil is certainly the guy to be targeting, but he is very hard to place a value on. Will the hit tool allow his power to play up enough to make up for his below average OF defense?
Renfroe is another guy who could be a decent addition, but not a true difference maker in an everyday role.
Both guys bat RHed, and both guys hit the ball harder than anyone currently on the roster. I wouldn't give up too much for either though.
The other option is Meyers and the 3/60 he's owed from 2020-2022.
I think I just talked myself out of acquiring a Padre OFer.
Peller is truly the dumbest GM in the game. Signing Machado locked in third place in the NL West. Lol
Meyers is still cheap this year but in 2020 Meyers, Hosmer and Machado will account for close to 75 million in payroll. I’m wondering how Peller will fill out the team.
In three years Peller will be begging teams to take Machado salary relief.
You'd be surprised how small the correlation is between regular season success and playoff success.

So like I said, the goal should be to make the playoffs because everything that happens after that is largely random.

Don’t know what we can do when we are asked to compete with a mega market like San Diego.
Our little tiny market can’t compete with that....good for them,What a novel idea, having a great minor league system AND spending in free agency.
I’m sure they will fail and end up regretting the move but we shall see.
I hope they have success as I believe it’s good for the game for a small market team to have a hope of signing elite players along with developing there own thru the farm.
