Allocating 162 starts without Framber: Verlander 25 Javier 25 Brown 25 Urquidy 20 France 20 Garcia 12 McCullers 12 Arrighetti 12 Bielak/etc. 11...
Yeah it’s a narrow case for it working. If Baty can play LF most days while serving as the backup 3B in 2024 then take over for Bregman in 2025,...
I agree with this. I don’t think any reasonable/knowledgeable person would argue that Framber for Baty straight up is a fair deal (which was what...
TLDR
Starling Marte was below replacement level last season. He’s put up 2.6 fwar over 2 seasons with the Mets, making $39M in that time (AAV)....
Using fwar to estimate RP values is silly. Your math also argues that Brett Baty has roughly similar surplus value to Framber Valdez. One flaw in...
Quick trade idea after seeing how the Mets have approached their offseason: Mets get: 1B Jose Abreu SP Framber Valdez RP Rafael Montero RHP...

They are still at least one star infielder (preferably 2B or 3B) away from contending. Their pitching staff is very good but they only have one...

Whatever it might cost to have him come mentor young hitters each spring training, it would probably be worth it.

List is up to 10 AAAA arms on the 40 man (not including Whitley since I still consider him a prospect): Dylan Coleman Shawn Dubin Seth Martinez...
Cronin only throws like 94 but has the movement and spin Houston likes. He must induce lots of weak contact because he hasn’t really struck guys...
When I said there’s no way the money is that tight I was referring to their CBT payroll. I think they still have ~$5M, maybe even up to $10M left...
Hard for me to believe that. Signing someone like Gallo (or an upside RP) for <$2M/1yr to replace a guy like Singleton who they have to pay $700k...
If Houston wants a potential upgrade over Jon Singleton on the bench, I wouldn’t mind them throwing Joey Gallo a bottom dollar deal. Spring...
Why? The war/win projections are taken from fangraphs current depth chart projections, there was nothing changed on my part.
Updated at the midpoint of the offseason: 2024: C: Diaz, Caratini; 4.0 fwar, $6.7M IF: Abreu, Altuve, Bregman, Pena, Dubon, Kessinger; 13.4 fwar,...
