Yeah I think he’s cooked. But he should clear the incredibly low bar of being better than Nick Castellanos

Well Garcia is a much better defender than Castellanos. Looks like they’ll be going with Crawford in CF which is questionable. But Marsh should be a good defensive LF.

Bassitt will prob sign right around what Kelly signed for. $20m added to the payroll would be $276m. That only leaves ~$7m before the 3rd cap. AA probably wants more than that going into the season.

But what’s his upside on a FA deal after he’s another year older and potentially has a QO attached? It’s not like he’s in line for a 5-year deal next offseason. If he has a really good, healthy season he’ll have the QO. I think the familiarity played some sort of role.

Kim signed over 12 hours ago. It’s time to move back to the regularly programmed discussions.

I’d rather AA just commit to using him in the BP or as an opener type. He could still be well worth his contract doing that. But asking him to pitch as a regular starter is begging for another injury.

You are the one who brought it up lol absolutely bizarre behavior.

Wow. Ended up with Suarez which is fine. Wonder how much $$ is left.

So you think Kim would’ve taken less money and years to go to Atlanta if he didn’t play with the team last year? Would be interesting for a player to do that.

Would you like to write up an apology form for me to sign or something? Most people expected Kim to get around Murphy’s contract. He took less money and years to stay in Atlanta. I confess that I do not know how much less. Considering Murphy is one of the best catchers in the league when...

Did I say he took $25m less? Murphy is still more valuable than Kim.

Yet it’s been reported he took less years and money to sign in Atlanta. Why would he do that if he didn’t get play there last year?

Clearly a huge blip. Been stuck with minor league deals his entire career.

He did take less to sign here. But coming off a 0.3 fWAR season didn’t help.

He is a better hitter and a more versatile defender. fWAR last three years is a clear advantage. Lopez accepting a minor league deal while Dubón makes $6m also tells us the difference in value between the two. Lopez was making peanuts then and still is. I just don’t believe AA is paying Dubón...

Paying Yaz, Dubón, and Kim that much is a positive indication that Weiss will be using the players differently than Snit did.

So bringing him in to end last season paid dividends. Very nice

I think Dubón is on a different level than Lopez. And will definitely be used more

If this is all it took I’m surprised it didn’t get done prior to free agency

So a team option or a pick as part of the deal. Even better
