Official official offseason thread

[NYCBrave]

I was listening to MLB Network Radio this morning and they brought up an interesting point about Verlander last season. Verlander only pitched on 5 days rest about 5 times last season. Every other start had at least 6 days of rest because it came after an off day in the schedule or he was pushed back to give him extra rest.

It will be interesting to see how the Mets handle him throughout the season.

Well they used a 6 man rotation for much of the season. They had that luxury. Unfortunately the Mets likely don't have the same depth to pull it off, and will clearly feel more urgency to get him out there every 5th day.

As good as Verlander is, I’m not paying him that much at his age

I have occasionally gotten Scherzer and Verlander confused, so this is not a great development for me.

It doesn't help that both of them have genuine smoke shows for wives either.

Better open up those pocketbooks Liberty. We've got some big boys in our division.

11 years / $300m for Turner....WOW!

Lol Jesus. Can’t wait to see a full season of Grissom at short…

I just don't think there is any way they play Grissom there in anything other than a spot starter roll.

Someone else will play majority of games as SS for the Braves next season.

Phillies knew they couldn't outbid us for Correa.

So they went with the cheaper option.

Trea Turner 36,37,38,39 and 40 year old SS for the Phillies. Insaneeeee!

Can't wait for the return of Elvis Andrus or Andrelton Simmons

He will on second base by that time.

Would check in with Padres on Kim personally.

 

[thewupk]

That sucks but the Phillies are still a lessor team.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

The NL East is going to be an absolute monster of a division for the foreseeable future. And it is very top heavy with the Braves, Mets, and Phillies.

 

[Hudson2]

I wanted Turner but 11 years? That contract will be rough when his speed starts to go. His defense has gotten worse the past couple of years. Correas bat will be the best of the 4. I’m thinking Dansby at 6/140 doesn’t look as bad lol. Phillies will be tough next year. No way we go with Grissom/Arcia at SS.

Arica? Maybe a platoon of Arica and Grissom?

I agree with you but I think this is the reason why they had Wash work with Grissom on his ss defense this off-season. 11/300 is the top of the market for a ss but I can’t imagine Correa will be behind him by that much. And then even the next tier below them (Xander and Dansby) will still be quite a bit. I’m not sure how much, but still probably too rich for us.

 

[ixiXSolidXixi]

Now Dansby probably want a 7-8 year deal close to that range.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

I think AA is seeing these prices and catching a quick flight back to Atlanta....

This is crazy the amount of cash being thrown around.

 

[msstate7]

How long before Acuna and albies are raising hell about their deals? These contracts are getting insane
