I swear if we roll out Riley at 3rd base while paying Will Smith and Mark Melancon 27 million dollars I'm going to blow a freaking gasket.

If we are giving big prospects I’d rather target someone like Chapman.

The difference in prospect cost between Arenado/Bryant and Chapman is pretty massive.

Highly doubt he's even available.

I'm ok with Riley/Camargo if they add Castellanos or Ozuna. They need something for cleanup or FF legit might break Bonds, walk record. But this.

that would be an absolutely massive fail by the FO.

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

This team is FINNISH!

I am upset but at the same time happy because Donaldson is 34 years old. Now we will have enough money to extend other players.

[Snowman]

Ignoring differences in team health (negative or positive) from '19 to '20 and the possibility of players getting better or worse, what's the difference between a season of Donaldson and a season of Camargo at 3rd? 50 runs, at a guess?

We were 3rd in the NL in runs. 43 fewer runs would have placed us 6th. 65 fewer would have placed us 7th. How confident do we feel that the pitching and defense is strong enough to carry a middle of the pack offense?

Yeah it is really a gamble either way, but will definitely hurt us at least next year.

Passan- Josh Donaldson’s deal with the Minnesota Twins will pay him $84 million over the first four years and includes a $16 million club option with an $8 million buyout. In total, it’s $92 million guaranteed with a chase to go to $104 million if Donaldson hits escalators on the option.

[msstate7]

Go get ozuna.

Welp. That seems doable. Perhaps the claims of a $150 million OD payroll were exaggerated

I knew he was trash all along. Jack Parkman Jr.

[sc1767]

Yeah I miss what he was last year but think if he were here we'd be missing it by year three if not before, and paying a lot of money to boot.

[weso1]

Need to go out and get a washed out Garrett Anderson/Raul Mondesi type to bat clean up for us now.

[The Chosen One]

I would rather just get Castellanos instead of trade for Bryant.

[Hudson2]

Without a legit cleanup hitter we are in trouble. Bryant will be the target imo. As soon as they get news on the grievance we should see something soon.
