Looking Ahead - The 2020 Offseason Thread

Heyman: Mets are engaged with Trevor Bauer. They expect to hear something — one way or another — in the next 24 hours or so. Situation is fluid but there’s hope.

Here's the thing. If Bauer goes to the Mets it hurts the Braves. But then I think the Dodgers throw their money at Turner. Then it's Braves or Tampa for Ozuna.

If Bauer were to sign with the Dodgers, I bet they would move on from Turner. That would probably send him to Atlanta and thus ending our chances with Ozuna.

Or Bauer ends up in New York, Turner with LA, Ozuna in Tampa, and the Braves sign one of us posters as their big bat. Whichever of us takes less money plays left field. We all collectively cry.

Mlb.com writer saying it’s Mets or Dodgers for Bauer, so we are kinda screwed either way.

What other suiters does he really have? This has been such a strange off season, where the Mets really lucked into being one of the only teams willing to spend big money.

Dodgers can easily afford Bauer and Turner. They'd be way over the lux tax threshold though.

Assuming we were to make an offer on Turner. Now let’s also assume we won’t go more than 3 years? How much are we looking at? Wouldn’t it just be better served to give that money and years to Ozuna?

Have a Hard time seeing Braves going 3 years on Turner.
 
I think. If he gets 4 it would be at 75 at the highest. But I don’t see 4. Maybe 3 with a team option

Ozuna. Turner won’t get more than 2. No way.

Turner, to me, is a safer bet to produce with the bat. he’s been very consistent. and he plays 3B, a tougher position to fill.

I’m curious in the lack of games played over his career. I posted it last night, but he’s missed so many games each year.
 
Rumored Mets offer to Bauer is 3 years/93 mil, opt out after year 1. Smart to hit FA next year with more money available.
