I'm not a salary cap guy. This is one area where I do think the cap helps. There is only so much you can spend. Sometimes there is a max you can spend. So it's easier to come to an agreement. MLB there are almost infinity options for total value, Annual value, etc. I do wish they'd put...

worth it for me. Earned all of it.

AA rarely does what is expected. I think the Olson trade was the only move he's made that seemed to be speculated in the media before it happened. I almost feel like it's more likely they put Grissom at SS and swing a big trade or signing to LF. Looks like the PHillies are going to land one...

agree. Especially next to Riley and his lack of range. I could understand a Grissom at SS if you think he's a future plus bat and can handle the position. It seems like the consensus scouting is that he can't handle the position. That said, I only understand Grissom at SS if you are putting...

Might not be about the money so much as it is about the roster spot.

One of my unpopular opinions is that the wildcard introduction does not get enough credit for its impact on the Braves not winning "enough" titles in the late 90s and early 2000s. It added an extra team that changed the odds significantly. Now we have expanded things again and we see the...

Klaw's FA guide is out. He has Correra, Turner and Swanson all at 30 million per year and 6-8 years. I wonder if AA will target a specific guy or just put out a 30 million per year for 5 years and an Option and see who takes it first. Maybe the Dodgers get one, or maybe two because they are...

If Malloy really is that good and close it makes me wonder if the Conforto deal will be a reality. You can go big for him on a pillow deal. He gets to prove his value and take shots at the Mets. Malloy is a cheap insurance policy with upside.

DeGrom is the kind of player who can be thinking about legacy too. He can stay a career Met and be loved there. Maybe get to call games, etc. He could also be looking to find the best place to win a title so he can sure up his Hall of Fame Case. I just don't see us having the money for...

Folty also looked like he lost 25 pounds and his off the field life went crazy. I can't predict the future. I'm not calling Wright an Ace. But he is a guy that seems to universally be considered to have great stuff, despite not having a crazy velocity FB. He has real prospect pedigree. And...

For what? A cost controlled starter with impact stuff. I'd be willing to move him, but you'd have to get a stud or studs back. Is there some impact SS or LF you think is available and has 2+ years of control? And if we did move him, we'd need to get a Rodon or someone like that to replace...

We are not that far off. Every year AA has waited late and signed people. That is true. But Every year AA has also gone out and signed a big splash guy or guys (north of 10 million per year) in the first week. He's been in interviews and has said they like to target and go get their guy. My...

That is helpful. Does make me feel better. Honestly i'd prefer to go opener with Morton given the LH at the top of the line up.

AA doesn't seem to flirt much. My guess is he will have a SS contract and he'll offer it to a bunch of guys and see who accepts first. AA typically moves really fast for a guy or two he likes. Then it's the long waiting game. I have to think he gets one big name guy at SS or LF.

Let's just get 2/3. Turner played OF before. Correa looks like an OF or he can play some 3B and Austin can DH. I know we really aren't handing out deals to two of these guys, I'd be sorta surprised at 1. I just hope the mets don't get any of them (I know Lindor but they could move someone...

I thought he was consistently good, he just was made of glass. Some sticky stuff issues but mostly health.

I hope we all remember this conversation in the offseason where we say we don't need X pitcher. Seems like every year we try to lengthen the rotation and then we end up with bullpen games.

Stinks for him. I wonder if they can do some type of extension. Maybe 1 year next year, 2 million 2024 and a team option at 5 with a 1 million buy out? I don't think it is right to cut him.

Mets think they are getting judge, Rodon, degrom and Correa at 3b . Plus all their other guys. They could. I bet they offer the most money. Not sure people will want to go to the Mets.

I was hoping enscheff would do the math. Off the top of my head it didn’t seem like we were getting enough of a discount. We bought our two years of free agency, but at a solid number. This is guy who has had tj, had an oblique and throws 100. That said they may think that aa will be paying...
