GDT 6/23: Bite the Big Apple, Don’t Mind the Maggots- MAX for the series W!

I just read in the NY Post that Boone challenged the Riley play at third on the premise that he was blocking the bag. Talk about begging for a call.
 
Since May 7 (132 PAs) Kelenic has a line of .276/.311/.520 with 78 homers and a K rate of 26.5%. Even with a low OBP, it would be nice if this is the version Kelenic we're getting for here on out.

I feel like his slg and ops is way too low with 78 homers.

His stats in June have been great - .292/.338/.538/.876. And while his outfield range is limited, his arm value and arm strength are incredible.
 
I think agents are smart as to when they will let their players take extensions from their existing org. Fried is 30 and knows that this will be his last big time contract.. he can linger around after this contract of course and make some good dough.. but this is the big one and there is no chance he will take a team friendly deal.. Guys like strider, it is different. taking a team friendlier deal is ok.. they can still get another huge payday.

Fried is going to push the market and be one of the last to sign, in hopes to get the absolute max money from the market on this deal.

Not without risk... God help us both if he gets injured

Fried is the early leader for most likely to price himself into a pillow contract.

He is probably going to be looking for more money than Nola ($175M), isn't interested in a homegrown discount, will have a QO attached, is going into his age 31 season, and has a K/9 of 8.0 this year.

There's a decent chance he holds out for $200M+ and finds the offers lacking.
 
I love Max. He's a baller and a legit ace. But I don't want to be dishing out a 7 year deal to a 31 year old pitcher who hasn't exactly been a clear picture of health during his career.

I agree.. almost put this in my post. But I think he will be one of the last to sign and it will be for something he wasn't looking for. The Braves could be in good position to give him that pillow contract for 1 year 20 million to remove the QO
