You can't make this up. They have the market cornered on mediocre starting pitchers, that much is for sure. Don’t have space for a TORP if you’ve got those guys taking up spots.

naptownskinsfan Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Mets just hired John Gibbons as a bench coach. Never thought I’d see him back. Has he even done anything over the past five years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrubes20 Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 On 11/20/2023 at 8:44 AM, Leader said: Probably not....but it begs the question....what's one player worth? 50M? As his history clearly shows....it takes more than one guy to bring success. Ohtani was the best hitter in baseball last year. Judge just signed for $40 milIion per and was a year or two older than what Ohtani is. I will take some off due to Judge playing defense and say that as a hitter only, Ohtani is probably in the $37 million area. As solely a pitcher, he probably gets around $25 million per, even with the UCL injury. So when healthy, he takes the place of two players that would cost around that $60 million AAV. I also saw an article where someone from the Angels said Ohtani adds $100 million a year in revenue by himself (due to Japanese market and such). He will certainly require a team to go over the luxury tax, but that revenue boost certainly eases that pain for the poor billionaire owners.

No idea what was going on. 2 hours ago, Leader said: @CWood21 3 years, $75 million supposedly. That feels about right, given Gray's recent injury history and age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Best that Gray stayed in the mid-west as well. It suits his temperament best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detfan782004 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Smart move by Detroit to sign Maeda to appeal to getting other players from Japan. Not sure it'll work but worth the shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullsandBroncos Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Jon Heyman, Andy Martino, and the rest of the ilk of NY baseball media are clowns. Yankees being in on all of Shohei, Bellinger, Yamamoto, etc like Hal is willing to spend over the $260 million he ALREADY has on the books. Give me a break. I don't see it happening.

Yeah, that's not happening. I do think they end up with Bellinger though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrry32 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Saw that Sevvy signed with the Mets. Thought that guy was going to be an absolute superstar. But the injury bug just won't stop biting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) Severino's metrics speak well of him last year, nothing was down precipitously, his velo was consistent, his spin rate was consistent. But his break was down almost a full foot to two feet on his FB and Slider. That points to him developing a hitch that the Mets staff believes they can fix, remains to be seen if they can, but it's not a bad gamble fr a 5th guy with upside. The stuff is still there, but of course you also can't discount the fact that he hasn't been healthy in seven years.

Thelonebillsfan Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Check the Mets for Imanaga as well, they're pushing HEAVILY to land all three big JP names this off-season. Cohen wants that market to be his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
