The biggest difference is the advent of the DH in the NL. He’s gonna hit for average and have a high OBP his entire career and will do that until he’s 38. 6/180 will get it done but if AA thinks he’s in on Correa, we will have to wait. Would need to be like 10/350ish. It’s wild that Correa, Lindor, and Seager all came up the same time and are basically the same player. Lindor is more dependable and doesn’t have an injury history that the other two have. His WAR is higher than Seager and close to Correa. Seager has the highest OPS but least games played—some 260 less than Lindor and 110 less than Correa. Lindor went 10/341 last year. Seager 10/325 yesterday. Can’t see Correa less than 10/350.
Fyi I'd give him 6/180. I just understand why we wouldn't wouldn't go there yet IF there's no reason to.
Please... This is ridiculous hyperbole. I’ve been consistent that it should be 6/$180. And that’s not an obscene amount. I’m also the one who said back in July we probably would let him walk instead of paying him, so we should consider trading him instead of being buyers. Now that we won the WS, it’s more difficult to let him leave with the fans wanting him to resign badly. He also took all the risk of playing without an extension and getting injured or struggling. Instead he put up another great season. They could have signed him for less after last season. That was their risk. Now they can pay up for him, or let him walk and piss off a substantial portion of the fan base.
I’ll be honest, since winning a title, I barely care about free agency or whether Freddie resigns. Flags fly forever, boys.
Someone made a great point about ozuna video.. He had his phone in his hand. Don't think you could choke someone or even wrap fingers around a neck with a phone in your hand. Am i way off here?
she felt threatened enough to call the cops so enhance.gif’ing the video like that feels kinda gross. prolly just shouldn’t put hands on your partner.
Didn't enhance it. He's just holding his phone when he puts his hands up. Obviously he shouldn't put his hands on his wife but it's a wildly different scenario than what was initially reported.
So did the Karen in central park. Women can be assholes too so who knows. The video isn't great but it's a far cry from what was initially reported
It was her phone that he took from her. It’s pink and she went and picked it up when he dropped it. He took it from her by force before the cop arrived.
Of her picking it up? Yes. Of him taking it from her? Not that I know of. But I believe she said he used his cast to hit her hand to knock the phone out.
Jamming a phone directly into someone’s air pipe with force accomplishes the same thing as choking someone in theory. Given their history as a couple and previous incidents it’s likely blame for the whole situation goes in both directions, but I’ve seen nothing to indicate Marcell deserves any benefit of the doubt.
That’s the thing, I have this weird feeling that the Braves should make his ass play. They’re paying him. The Braves didn’t make this obvious mistake and the league already completed their punishment of him. He should now have to face the music, get booed in every stadium, and earn every penny he’s being paid.
Right, which is the primary reason I would not cut him. If he’s gonna play on the Braves’ dime, it might as well be for the Braves.
I’d cut him or trade him with very little hesitation. But that’s also easy for me to say given it’s not my $49M.
as a prominent shareholder in liberty media it very literally is my $49m and i am perfectly ok with eating it to get him off the team
After watching the video he is guilty of being an asshole and crossing the line for sure but it's a far cry from what was initially reported. There certainly could have been other contact prior to that video but based on what we can see a full year suspension seems like enough. I wouldn't be upset if we got rid of him either
What a week for Dansby. First he is the new face of the franchise and now he is engaged. He is the most deserving player of all his achievements.
Was rewatching some of Soroka’s tape from 2019 and getting wistful. Really hope things can work out for him, such shit luck.
Yeah, and I was pretty happy that my first piece of champs merch finally made it here on Friday - until I saw this!!! Awesome haul!
I didn't order this and it was completely unexpected. I have a partial ticket package and I guess they sent me all the ones from this year. Awesome surprise.
