Very reasonable deal for the braves. Probably not necessary for the Giants. Lots of promising arms in the pen, and still a lot of bad contacts to finish off.

Count on Zhaidi doing everything he can to maximize the draft and the international pool. Giants aren't competing in that division next year. No reason to sign Will Smith if you aren't going to really need a close for a couple seasons. Better off seeing if Trevor Gott can do it.

I think there was enough of a market to get a decent contract (maybe not that AAV) and given his age and player profile he won't have much longer to get that good multi year deal. I can only imagine he thinks that the new CBA will get more money for the players so that he can get a better contract, but everything I've seen suggests that if there is more money it will come by getting young guys their money sooner since teams don't want to pay big FA contracts. I thought he'd get maybe 2 years with a club option, $14MM AAV? Something like that. Seems reasonable to bet that there's $10MM more guaranteed down the line for him after this.

I agree, and I'm shocked Zaidi didn't trade Bum and more than just him to restock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the QO money may be moot anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livewire Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Just wondering what some of your opinions are with the Pirates hiring Ben Cherington as their new GM? I'm hoping he has a plan and sticks with it. Rebuild it totally and don't do it half heartedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whole buncha nothing Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't there a huge descrepancy between yelich's home/road splits? 20 hours ago, Slateman said: Giants aren't competing in that division next year.

He's a good player that you could have for a reasonable price. I get what you are saying, and there is probably a chance he wouldn't take the same contract from the giants considering his farewell post referenced the fact he has only made the playoffs once in his career 17 hours ago, NVRamsFan said: I agree, and I'm shocked Zaidi didn't trade Bum and more than just him to restock. The fluke July hurt us there, but it's still not as bad as the fluke July that Pittsburg had when they traded glasnow and meadows for Chris Archer ...

I mean, he's super human in Milwaukee due to the ballpark playing incredibly well to his strengths but he still posted these stat lines on the road both years in Milwaukee... 2018: .328/.399/.545, 14 HR, .217 ISO, .404 wOBA, 155 wRC+ 2019: .312/.409/.597, 17 HR, .285 ISO, .407 wOBA, 152 wRC+ Nothing to sneeze at lol Edited November 16, 2019 by beekay414 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slateman Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Would Nick Castellanos play first base? Nats need a first baseman and another bat if they lose Rendon. My offer would be Castellanos, 4 years, 60 million, with a player option after two years and the contract front loaded (2020- 17 million, 2021- 16 million). Could be a win/win for both sides. If Nick rakes (or hates first base) he can reload after 2021 for the last big contract (he'll be 30). The Nats get a bat they need with some financial flexibility for the last two years of the Scherzer contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
