That is true for much of the market but it was always pretty clear that the issue with Arrieta wasn't price but years. Teams were approaching him because they were willing to spend the APY, just not the years. i wasntg really arguing anything, just commenting that there seems to be big money out there for top tier, or close to, players.

tom cody Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Getting Arrieta's good for the Phillies IMO. They could be a playoff dark horse for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubes20 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 That's an interesting deal. $30M/$25M/$20M, with an opt out after year 2, that can be "voided" by the Phils if they choose the option to extend Arrieta for 2 more years at a base salary of $20 million per, with more performance incentives that could push it to 5/$135.

I’m guessing Brewers sign Cobb, Twins sign Lynn, and Phillies sign Arrieta. Stearns needs to get off his hands and sign Cobb so I can be 4 for 4 on the pitchers. On second thought, I'd rather the Brewers not have Cobb. As you were, Stearns. Let the Orioles sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsoxsuck05 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 So Neil Walker will play the pivotal "boring veteran thats blocking the kids" role for the Yanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsoxsuck05 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Shame that this probably closes the door with Cobb. Brewers should sign him to a short term deal Or the Twins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres is struggling in the spring league, coming off season ending surgery, and he has only played a handful of games in AAA. Both Torres and Yankees would benefit from being patient and bringing him up when he is ready. Only a 1 year deal so Walker isnt the future their. And many think this is a sign that we will put our young players in a package to trade for a SP at a later date. But our lineup is looking good. 1. Brett Gardner DH 2. Didi Gregorius SS 3. Aaron Judge LF 4. Giancarlo Stanton RF 5. Gary Sanchez C 6. Greg Bird 1B 7. Aaron Hicks CF 8. Brandon Drury 3B 9. Neil Walker 2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, we'll struggle. Unfortunately, Sabean and the Giants are entirely too sentimental and too stubborn to believe into going into a rebuild, particularly with so much money already on the books over the next 3 years (believe we have the most money tied up right now in 2019, 2020, and 2021, which is insane) . Madbum probably should have been traded last year when he came back when he could have fetched a comparable deal to Sale given the contracts and team control left.

tom cody Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 That Yankees lineup is good. Neil Walker as a #9 hitter is always a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how Bumgarner pitches. Right now I don't include either for him but if he starts strong Id consider Andujar if Cash plans on getting Machado in the offseason.

tom cody Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Bumgarner would be a good pickup for a lot of teams. If he goes to the Yankees especially. Rotation is a weak spot for them still, should they get Bumgarner it would make a good team even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
