MOSteelers56 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 8 hours ago, CWood21 said: It honestly wouldn't surprise me if it ended up being some sort of weird 3-team deal with NY Yankees and Tampa Bay, where we send either Tyler O'Neill or Dylan Carlson (more likely) to New York, and one of their high-level prospect SP was sent to Seattle. And one of the young Mariners' starters end up in St. Louis while Edman headed to Seattle. I wouldn't hate that. I'd move Edman before Gorman too. I think it'd be really tough to say goodbye to Nolan. We've worked so hard at getting him to be passable at 2B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faint wait till he gets the AL playoff MVP in a few years! Dude is an absolute terror on the basepaths for opposing teams. His defense, speed and ability to get on base have him looking like a legit major leage leadoff hitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like alot of the bigger fellas didnt do well this year, maybe coincidence but the Clock isnt going anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we ditch Donovan, we'll probably keep Edman and vice versa. Donovan would be the painful one of the two to loose, but I think dealing him over a Gorman would be more ideal IMO. Lars Nootbaar is essentially the same player as Dnovan with the bat (high OBP with some pop), so you'd still have that type of profile in your lineup. Like you said, youd still have Edman then to play that super utility role around the infield and he showed the ability last eyar to play a pretty good defensive CF as well.

I think that is something that is adjustable with time. I think Monoah's continued struggles were more to do with his inability to locate any of his off-speed pitches. he really lost a feel for his change-up and slider at the same time. His walks went way up and his hard contact rate went way up because of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't be pumped to lose Donovan. I'm pretty meh on Burleson, though. If we got something helpful back for Donovan, I'd be for it.

ttitansfan4life Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) Welp there’s one gone. Yamamoto isn’t happening because Dewitt isn’t giving out a contract like that. Edited November 19, 2023 by ttitansfan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I think they wanted Nola but they weren't probably willing to go to 7 (or 8.) years to get Nola. I think whoever was willing to go to 7 years would end up with Nola with a slight advantage to Philadelphia. I think if the offers were close, he was returning.

Yamamoto isn’t happening because Dewitt isn’t giving out a contract like that. That's not why it's not happening. We've seen us be willing to offer a FA starter close to a $200M deal already in the past. He's not coming here because he wants to play in a large media market and it just so happens those teams (Dodgers,Cubs, Yankees, Mets, Red Sox) all are agressively pursuing pitching this offseason too. Youre never going to be able to sway him away when they're offering same (if not more money) and have that factor built in. Nothing we can do on that front. We should be shopping in the Shoto Imanaga market though. Edited November 20, 2023 by kgarrett12486 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were serious about pursuing him and I actually think he was the one FA they would've committed the extra year/money to because of the fit. I think they (along with other teams) didn't plan on being met with a brush off, which is essentially what happened. I think we pivoted away from him pretty quickly when that was realized. I saw some sources close to the situation basically say that Nola told his agent to work every avenue with the Phillies before taking outside offers to him. He told his agenet he wanted to be back in Philly. It's pretty evident too give the home town doiscount he gave them on the AAV. I heard we've been one of the most aggressive teams on the trade front for pitching thus far and in particular on Dylan Cease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
