Like I said before, you could just look up. I can't help you any more than that, outside of tattooing **** on you...possibly a map?
Reach down between your legs, grab your ears and pull as hard as you can. When you hear that popping sound it's your head coming out of your ass. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php...-or-rumors-thread.298329/page-7#post-12431178
Thanks. Jul 10th Stassi gets dressed down by JV on the mound. Looks like Stassi caught 3 more games for JV after this date since McCann was hurt, and then Maldonado was acquired on July 26. Then Stassi has no more JV games. Thanks for the insults you angry old man.
I wonder if Cleveland is out of the payoff mix in July, would they be willing to trade a starting pitcher. Is there too much bad blood for them to acquire Tyler?
They probably send him to the NL and Padres were in on him before the season. That would be my guess where he would end up.
I don't think Navaez or Alfaro are available for reasonable sums, given their control and the fact that their teams went out of their way to acquire them in the offseason. Hedges probably isn't available for pennies either. Lucroy or Maldonado should be at the deadline, but I'm not sure either are really worth ditching Stassi for.
The Astros have more than pennies in the bank at the moment. With Bregman, and Verlander extensions, Diaz trade, and Alvarez's accent from great hitting prospect to almost can't miss prospect, the Astros ability to trade prospects is incredible.
Gotta double dip with SP. Dream scenario: HOU Gets LHP Matt Boyd DET Gets IF Jack Mayfield OF Derek Fisher Josh James/Framber Valdez/Cy Sneed HOU Gets RHP Sonny Gray CIN Gets: OF Drew Ferguson 3B Abraham Toro RHP Forrest Whitley
Mayfield, Sneed, and Ferguson have no trade value. James and Fisher is a good start for Boyd but they’d probably require one more 2nd or 3rd tier prospect like Valdez. Whitley for Gray would be a massive overpay.
Insanity on Gray. I still don't understand why people are in love with Boyd. He's ok, and would immediately be our 5th best starter. Maybe 4th above Peacock.
Agreed. Insanity on both. I'd rather have James or Valdez starting than Boyd. I think Peacock is better than Boyd. No way you give up on Whitley, especially not for Gray.
Good read, and really intriguing idea. Scherzer is 34 and on the hook for 2.5 more seasons at a not atrocious rate. Absolutely beautiful 1-2 after we let Cole walk, and with our lineup? My god. People were falling in love with Harper in our lineup, but Scherzer may be the better fit (and at a much more reasonable acquisition cost). We have the prospect capitol to pull it off, too. I mean, this is our window. I trust Jeff's ability to restock the farm, even with the losses of our front office. Some combo of Tucker/Whitley/Martin/Alvarez/Toro/JB/James/Beer/Nova/Valdez and lower level pieces should work. I'm not suggesting to sell the entire farm, but we have pieces to work with. And WAS needs a large influx of young talent at this point. Payroll is going to be tight moving forward--would love to have Springer and Correa as Stros for life...but adding Scherzer to this team would just be another level.
He’s going to have $90M/2.5yrs on his contract. There’s probably less than $30M in surplus value there. So what kind of prospect package going back to Washington would depend on how much money they eat. I don’t think Houston would take on more than half. Adding Scherzer at ~$18M/yr would still leave room to extend one of Springer or Correa (imho). To get Washington to eat $40M would require ~$60M worth of prospects. That would mean a package of one of Whitley/Tucker/Alvarez, 2 of James/Fisher/Martin/Bukauskas, and probably another 3rd tier prospect (somebody like Toro, Framber, C Perez, etc.).
Not sure if you read the article or know all the details of his contract but there is no way the Nats eats part of the contract. Apparently after his contract, they owe him another $105 mil from 2022 to 2028. If a team(well owner since it wouldn't count towards the cap??) is stupid enough to pick that up for them, sure the Nats will eat part of his contract for the next 2 years. But I'm sure teams would rather pay his full contract that's remaining and let the Nats deal with the deferred money.
I ignored the deferred money because of course it’s assumed the Nats will still pay that. Deferred money is to the team’s advantage. Not sure where you’re getting the “no way Nats eat part of his contract”. Money is money, value is value. Bottom line is that if the Nats won’t eat some remaining contract then Houston can’t afford to trade for him.
