I've actually heard AA say (and read in the Athletic), "We pursued Nola". I suppose that could just mean a touching base phone call in case Philly didn't work out, but that was not what Alex inferred. Perhaps that rejection spurred AA's bizarre streak of acquisitions of bad money contracts...

Sure. Ozuna gets up four times a game, waddles to the plate, burns 80 calories. It’ll help keep his weight down.

Backup LF RHH who can also play center. Duvall, Grichuk, Pillar.

While Nola has had a nice career, his ERA has been mid 4.00s two of the last three years. He hardly looks dominant any more. The Phillies might rue the day they offered that contract.

I don’t think Snit is as galactically retarded as most of the board thinks he is. He surely understands that he has a Ming vase and needs to treat it with the utmost caution. Even Sale has to be aware of his limitations, no matter how stubborn he is.

I’m wary, too, but I like the gamble. A few weeks ago we were discussing back of the rotation options and I was thinking, this isn’t it. We’ve got guys who can eat innings, guys who can get outs. What we could use is a difference maker. To dominate in October. For $300M and a decade of...

Present value of $10M in 2039 assuming 5% discount rate is about $4.6M. Plus the current $500k leaves his cost a touch over $5M.

I think that was a stress fracture of his scapula.

Kevin Pillar for $2M or Adam Duvall for 5.

I think it’s hard for them to look at his ‘23 performance and not remember ‘20-22, and they’re still butt hurt that he got hurt and missed three years. And truthfully we’re taking a gamble assessing his last third of a year and thinking that is what we’re getting. OTOH, it’s not...

.400 OBA, iron glove.

Holy ****

Wonder how much cash? For Grissom it ought to be significant. $7.5?

…and there it is. Anybody have Chris Sale on their card?

Nope. Made 28 dials, got 28 hangups, cut bait.

So (and I'm sure there are other people who can do this better, just trying to wrap my head around it) We got: Player 24 Sal AddCommit Min Max Yrs Bummer $5.5M $14.7M 3 3 Lopez $4M $22M 3 4 Murfee $750k...

Watch some of the film on him. He’s filthy. Only thing I’d be worried about is stature, but there are plenty of smaller guys who have long careers.

Yeah, we made 15 trades and spent $16M so we could acquire jarred Kelenic and trade him for pitching.

This makes complete sense

Wow, I wasn't far off, was I? If they cared about money, they would rue the day they offered that contract. But they don't, so they won't. Guy pitched 120 innings last year and that was by far his biggest workload of his eight year career. In-****ing-credible.
