Got it. Thanks!

I’m not familiar with how the luxury tax works, but why is his 4 million salary being counted as a 12.5 million luxury hit? Since we’re over now, do you think we spend more? Maybe jump into the Correa sweepstakes? Doubtful I know but why go over the luxury tax now?

Sadly I think it would take more than Grissom. Probably Grissom++ or Wright+. While I would do this deal and not think twice about it, I’m not sure AA will/would.

If we had any semblance of depth at sp, I’d move Wright for Reynolds. For all we know, last season could have been Wright’s career season. If he comes back down to earth like Ian did, then we’ll have squandered all of his value. I’d like to think AA has enough data to make a healthy projection...

What are the odds the Mets walk away? I doubt it with Cohen and all his money.

If we were interested wouldn’t we have been pulled in for a 3 way with Arizona and Toronto? I mean I’d love to acquire him but my guess is it’s not happening.

4.5 million this year and 5.4 million next year. Would be perfect for us but I doubt we have the prospect capital to make that move work. Also he’s 29 so I’m not sure how or why he fits in Arizona’s current plan.

I wish if we weren’t going to upgrade lf we’d at least put an all defensive player out there. Instead we get no offense and no glove in left. It’s literally the worst thing we could possibly do. Ozuna is a sunk cost. I wish we’d just cut him. How many off the field arrests does someone need to...

This is the problem. And if were saying it assuming 100% health, what the hell are we going to say/do once we have an injury?

Who are we going with then? Every viable outfield option is off the board and our system is barren. We don’t have anymore assets to trade. And the ones that we do have, AA doesn’t want to further flush our farm.

Saving money by not paying someone who will actually produce at an elite level and then turning around and spreading that money over 2-3 below average guys and hoping they produce in a platoon is even more dangerous. We can never assume health with anyone, superstar or bench player. So assuming...

Semantics. But ok these players “aren’t worth it.” I agree. They’re not. But none of these players are. And none of the players next year will be either. The market has driven prices up and they’re not suddenly going to come down. So what do you do? I’m being serious. What do you do when you...

While the premise by AA is valid, not signing someone bc they are deemed to be too expensive is a bit ignorant in the grand scheme of things. These are the prices the market has set. It’s all proportionate. If you don’t want to spend on an elite bat bc he’s too expensive, and you don’t want to...

Lol of course that’s the deal we make.

Might as well. Would save us 12 million so our owners could sit on it and do nothing with it. Would also open a roster spot so we can get our boy Luplow more abs. I say that all tongue in cheek but the reality is that’s what would probably happen.

I understand sending money along with him to get rid of him, but I probably would have asked for a better player in return than Kolby Allard if the cost was 10 million. Or a worse player back and we send less cash. Or if we can’t do anything with “the savings” of shipping him off, I would have...

Mandick is too stupid, selfish and ignorant to do anything good for the sport. The day he leaves as commissioner can’t come soon enough.

It’s clear we don’t want to add anymore payroll and get hit with the tax. If we didn’t sign the top end like Correa or Turner, or the middle end like Dansby or Xander, and we aren’t signing the bottom end like Myers, it’s clear we have no intention to add more payroll. And the only way we add...

Lol can moneybags Cohen pay 75% if the remaining of Ozuna’s contract for us?
