    Wasting this money on Santana still leaves them $5M below last year's payroll. Probably need to spend a little more to keep the commissioner from yelling at them for pocketing too much revenue.

    Pretty funny that Jeff Bagwell's first move as de facto GM is to sign an old 1B.

    just wait until they trade devers to the mets

    hopefully theyll hold out for baty instead of taking on mid prospects in order to shed a shit contract like they did with mookie

    It's also hilarious to me when players who were stat nerd darlings go old school about analytics. Bagwell might not have made the HOF if it wasn't for the analytics movement in the media across the sport, yet he's convinced a billionaire to rip up the most successful org in the sport over the last 6 years was brought about by stats instead of baseball people.

    Bowden thinks that the Brewers are going to go out and pay a #5 starter $16 million a year because the must be trading Woodruff or Burnes.

    That's 8 years at $37.5m. You think someone will go to 9 years?

    I doubt the Yankees would lose him over $20m at that point. Guess we'll see, but it's encouraging the Yankees are in the right ballpark.

    I just hope they sign him. G will literally jump for joy. She asks about him every 10 days or so and asks if he's going to play for the Yankees or the bad guys. :laugh:

    Pitching is definitely going to be the strength of the team, but they need to find bats and hope that Yelich rebounds to some better version of himself.

    Basically everything except SS needs an upgrade on offense. They had a good run years ago of finding cheap stopgap options and that luck has gone dry.

    Their top prospects are mostly OF bats and when you get past Chourio their ETA on MLB all lists 2023. Frelick and Turang should probably get looks.

    I'd be fine with building resources towards aligning with Chourio's window if he really is a superstar in the making.
