flavum Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Love that they’re learning from the mistakes of last year. Get a great offer out there early and force them to make a decision now. Hope it gets done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like 4/85 with $50M guaranteed in the 1st 2 years. With our payroll situation I’d much rather overpay for Wheeler in the short term than be on the hook for 2 years at the end of the deal he may/probably won’t be worth The problem is 2022-23 is clearly the heart of the competitive window, as currently constructed. With Grandal’s age, competing this year at least now has to be looked at realistically...predicated on the rest of their moves and all the young players making steady progress and not busting...at least the very top guys. Ryu, Bumgarner, Keuchel, Hamels....they collectively as a group fall into that same category of win now rather than win later acquisitions due to age, mileage and/or injury concerns.

In my opinion if Wheeler and Grandal are signed the window opens in 2021...22/23 is where we will start getting into extensions for our younger guys not named Eloy or TA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxnfins Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Say if they do sign Wheeler and Rick comes out and says "we're not done".... That means Castellanos is on the radar as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Wheeler is the number seven twitter trend in Illinois. No news though. I got so excited for a second Edited November 21, 2019 by Orlando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those last two will be the toughest to extend. Giolito repeats his 2019 and he suddenly puts himself in elite territory...so now is the ideal time to strike if they’re 100% confident in his “repeatability.“ That would obviously carry a not insignificant amount of risk, as he’s already past the first three years. Of course, no extension and his arbitration numbers rise exponentially each season as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
