They were torn on the contract details because they saw how much it crippled DET. That contract hurt them bad, but they also can’t develop guys worth a crap and that combination killed them.

I’m surprised lindor has been this disappointing for them. Usually it’s the 30 year olds who get the long big money deals and suck but lindor was in his mid 20s. Must be a mental thing with all that money and expectations. Especially in New York. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hope is that one day, athletes will come to the realization that playing in Cleveland isnt so bad and to not take it for granted that they DONT have the pressure of NY or LA. Like Jose said, I would rather play in Cleveland for 150M than somewhere else for 200M. Put that on the giant LeBron banner building.

Frankie would occasionally show mental lapses in pressure situations during his time here. This is not downplaying his greatness, but we’ve already seen cracks show up for him in New York. I kinda feel bad for Frankie in a way. He’s going to be boo’d mercilessly in New York for failing to deliver. Then he’s gonna have to ring chase in his mid 30’s with the Yankees or Dodgers. Jose is the complete opposite. He’s going to have his jersey retired no matter what. The front office will probably try and trade him to a team seriously competing for a title when he’s in his mid 30’s as a thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some members of our fanbase that have a weird obsession with him because he pitches a lot of innings. He’s garbage in those innings so why does it matter…?

FGK Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Hmm, not happy about the Yankees getting Benintendi for a bunch of nothing (23-25 year old Single A pitchers). He's not a massive needle mover, but he's really solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
