If you take the modern view of deadline trades where the buy-side teams value targets based almost entirely on their expected value during playoff...
I was really surprised to see Perez DFA’ed and it would not surprise me if he was claimed. I half expected he was only DFA because they had a...
Nook you are the ****in man and thanks for sharing all your info.
[SPOILER]
It is clear Crane has an EXTREMELY strong aversion to contracts longer than 5 years. So knowing that Bregman and Tucker (and very likely Framber)...
Houston's outlook for 2024-2027 went down by about 1 win/year after this trade. But that is a small price to pay if they win another ring. It...
In the short/medium term, the Verlander trade means: Altuve is the only player we should expect to see extended this coming offseason. Bregman...
Really would have been sweet if Raley and Narvaez would have been included. That would have set Houston's roster thru 2024 with them having a SP...
If the Mets are eating $54M this is a fair deal. Flags fly forever.
There were no players who project to be as good as Tucker, not even Gilbert or Clifford. Joey Loperfido, Collin Barber, Kenedy Corona, and Luis...
Assuming JV's 3rd year becomes a guarantee and assuming the Mets cover 1/2 the contract, I think this trade roughly costs the team 1 win/yr from...
I would say Barber, Baez, Matthews, or Dezenzo. But yeah it had become pretty clear that Gilbert and Clifford were 1/2
If that's directed at me, pffffft
If the Mets are eating all of JV's contract, it's a fair deal. If they eat half, it's a bad deal but not horrible considering the market. IF...
****ing Clifford and Gilbert. Ouch. Mets better be paying a lot of the contract. Ugh.
I would probably be ok with giving up Gilbert for both Barlow and Hernandez from KC.

Meh, there’s a significant possibility that Houston pivots from JV to do something minor like Lorenzen and another reliever.
I wouldn’t mind Houston taking on Narvaez as a 3rd C (13th position player) this year who can back up Diaz next year.
Might not be a bad idea to mildly overpay for a Rich Hill type right now so they can just wait out this Verlander situation.
