Do the first two. Skip the 3rd and save for the deadline if we need pitching then. Would be more impactful that way.
They will be far into a luxury tax bracket that doesn’t even exist yet. It would be rolling back the clock 20 years in strategy. It could happen....
What we bat they acquire will be less than Contreras at a less valuable defensive position but in general yes- if the Astros keep everyone...
Granato is drinking /golf buddies with someone in Correas inner circle. He would know.
Yes. 1000 times yes. 700 OPS catcher that would be locked up for 3 years at less than 10M in AAV? I would make serious blood sacrifices to make...
But why? That’s hysterical.
Nah- you could trade him to a contender that needs help in the bullpen for sure. But yeah- he isn’t going to any team that’s not a contender.
700 ish OPS is league average my dude. If I thought Korey Lee was going to be a league average bat I’d sprint down Crawford Ave naked with lit...
No. Not particularly close even.
Vazquez isn’t really a black hole in the way that Maldy or Lee is, he’s more like the kind of black hole Yuli was last year. And we let him play...
You know who pitchers trust to call games for them? Like 90% of the catchers around and 100% that aren’t flaming dickheads. IT. IS. OVERSTATED!
They better add another bat or this off-season is all hat and no cattle and they will have gotten worse overall while talking a big game about how...
In our fan base? Yes. It’s exhausting to listen to and it usually comes from dumb people who think they are smart that try to condescendingly...
It’s not awesome, but if they sign Nimmo or Conforto than I will just roll my eyes and sigh and ponder what might have. Even while we have 8 above...
Yes. I’d prefer Nimmo, Conforto, Hanniger (I know he just signed), Peralta, Peterson, that Japanese guy who just got posted for sure. Others who...
Boston will be relaxant for many of his 10 years there. Too much history, money and fan support not to see them compete at least 60 or 70% of the...
The deification of Maldonado the defensive genius is, has and always will be bullshit. He’s a horrific offensive player, he’s just fine...
Interesting. They will love him there and the yanks will still hate him. Balance to the world.
What a ****stick choad monkey. 1 year deal with a scrub club.
It’s not backup catcher dude- the regular season doesn’t matter for us. It’s a guy that can catch in the playoffs and be a plus bat getting rid of...
