Snelling has to be the headliner

I dont think there's any dispute that there's a market. The question is, is the market in the low 40m SV range, or does the pitching premium and/or Cole situation push it into the 50s. We saw about a 10% premium with the Burnes situation (33m value...they paid 36m). Similar premium would make this trade be around 46m...perhaps a bit more if it's NYY.

Yep...Getz is insisting on Jones as the main piece per Bob and ofcourse there will be secondary pieces. If they are willing to eventually (like in 2 weeks) give in on Jones, I'll take Warren instead of Hampton if it would make Cashman feel better. Either way, it's Jones+.

An appointment with Dr. Neal El Attrache says that they are.

Awful. No. If you want a "volume" deal in lieu of Jones or Dominguez, it would be Arias, Hampton, Lalane and Lombard.

1.5 times equals 36m SV times 1.5 = 54m SV roughly NYY: Jones (34) plus Hampton (16) and a small third piece OR Arias (21) plus Hampton (16) plus Lalane (11) plus a small fourth piece.

JR is unwilling to pay cash for SP because they break so often, so Getz is backed into the corner of using trade assets for SP. I agree that the positional side should be addressed first but they seem to hate savages and any kind of meaningful offense in general.

The whole argument is basically whether he is worth 2 Top 100s (or equivalents for young players who graduated) or 1 Top 100. Balta believes the latter. If the Rangers return is true then Balta would be right but that just seems unlikely in this market.

Snelling would be a very good main piece if NYY is still playing games.

Balta NERVOUS!

Balta gave me a contrary report and so this is bullshit.

I read somewhere (maybe Heyman) that we wanted "one and a half times" the Burnes return. If Burnes got 36m SV, we want 54m SV. For reference, this would be approximately Jones (34) plus Hampton (16). I can't imagine that Rangers package would be anywhere near 54m SV.

You're being overly generous. The Rosenthal Rangers package is hot garbage.

That's fucking weak.

Good because the names Rosenthal mentioned tonight for Rangers are underwhelming.

So Cease is out now right? Dude shouldn't start again in ST. Go out on top and take no more risks.

Dammit

Thank God

Pull him now. Forget about the damn 4th inning. 7 Ks in 3 IP...awesome. Jones AND Hampton AND Lalane!

Nice

Don't even bring him out for the 3rd.

Dude has great communication skills, tho. Just ask him

#91 on FG....RHH....far from MLB. No. And the rest of the package doesn't matter much if they are all going to ve worse than the headliner. If other teams don't want to make serious offers just keep holding him.

Sigh...

Harold.....rough odds on deal being completed prior to Cease scheduled start tonight?
