Official Offseason Thread

I like Wheeler but Hamels for 1 year was the SP i wanted the most, not to mention he can mentor Fried and teach him his wipeout CH. Can offer a QO at the end of the season and not be stuck with a potentially albatross contract. The Braves/Bumgarner rumors scared me as well.

Current payroll is around 132 right now if arb projections are correct, and Braves still need a power bat to bring back JD or replace him.

Newk is the one that needs the change. He still has elite upside if he can develop another pitch. I don't have confidence that will happen, but who knows?

I dont think his market is nuts, re JD's. JD may be waiting for Rendon to sign, so he knows who missed out.

JD's market is probably around 3/75 or if anyone gives him a 4th year, 4/100+.

Whoever misses on Rendon (especially the Nats) will probably overspend and give him the 4th year at that point. Best way to do it imo is to offer 3 years at 23 per with an option for a 4th year or a 6 million dollar buyout which would technically bring it to 25 per.

Newk is best in the bullpen imo, or on another team.
 
Heard it here first: The Braves WILL sign Rendon. Gonna backload the contract to make it work for 2020. WS titles to follow.

He was essentially a 2-2.5 WAR starting pitcher prior to 2019. Not sure why people keep selling him short.

He was good in 18, meh in 19 and turned into a good bullpen ace. Not really sold on Newk in the rotation.

For essentially nothing.

If it comes down to Hamels plus Shaw instead of Bundy plus JD we might be a little upset as fans.

I definitely will be because I thought that Bundy would thrive in the NL or be no worse than Julio plus he wasn't 18 mil. They better resign Donaldson or sign Rendon.

The first think Newk needs is to learn to be able to locate the pitches he has within 25' of his target.

Mets owners reportedly in talks to sell 80 percent of team; Wilpons to remain in roles for five years

From the body:
In 2012, Cohen spent $20 million to buy a four percent stake in the Mets. Sterling Partners currently owns about 68 percent of the team.

How in the hell can you sell 80% when you only own 68%? Even if you include the part he bought seven years ago, it only adds y to 72%,
 
so... our payroll is over $130 and we don't have a full rotation, a cleanup hitter or a 3B.

I think the rest of our moves are either internal or trades.
