He conveniently left that out. I also did say 4 years for Getz, not 3. It’s obvious he’s going to already have two bad seasons under his belt. And anyone that wouldn’t trade Getz for Epstein is insane.
Am I crazy to think they should just keep Lee as a backup catcher? He’s still pretty young but would he even return that much in a trade? Also, isn’t it possible that one of Quero/Teel becomes more of a 1B/DH if they both wind up being very good hitters and you want both starting? All three could catch and it would keep them all fresh. I’d rather have a third catcher with an arm and some pop on the roster than scrubs like Crapa and Palacios.
Agreed, you finally got your true Madrigal. Not all about power, but hard line drives and walks. Madrigal didn’t do either. He just didn’t strike out and would make weak contact outs.
Or that Jerry made a deal with the devil and never exits this earthly existence. Jerry may have watched all of the Final Destination movies and figured out how to cheat Death’s designs. 🤣
Seriously, this is the flip side. Why else would Jerry set up the deal this way? Fucker thinks he’s living until 100+. The 4 year minimum thing is just an insurance opt-out in case he dies early. Fucking guy would never give an opt-out in a contract to a free agent player but he worked an agreement to give himself one at 89 years old! 🤣 He truly didn’t ever need Hahn to work his free agent signings for him. He is the craftiest SOB of all time.
This old fucker has covered all of his bases for maximum value up until the Grim Reaper takes him out Final Destination style.
Yeah, like the last time when Hahn said, “The money will be spent!”
Just not on any true superstars. I’ll believe it when I see it. There will be zero spending until 2019 at the minimum. This agreement all but guarantees it.
