Ah well, nevertheless

for those with lives: we have been getting hourly leaks to NY reporters on how darn hard Steve Cohen is trying to land max. Other rumors: that LAD are pessimistic. No one else seems to have Jon Heyman on speed dial.

I hope the Mets take my idea of giving Scherzer monthly opt-outs.

He hits RHP at league average (104 wRC+). Definitely GB heavy though.

I think he’s interesting. He faded hard which may be a 2021 problem, but changed his arsenal. Not crazy about his stuff, but heard he made his FB fit coors. Maybe he can get more rise out of it

Jerry would absolutely throw $40M of his own money to fuck with Steve Cohen on some property deal but make it a baseball player and he’s no where to be found. We need someone on the inside to use this angle and bring JR off the sidelines here.

This is true but also if you told me that Jerry Reinsdorf spent 40 mill on a pitcher I would assume they were more likely 35+

Man, obviously him signing with the Sox would be the most fun, but a close second would be the football being pulled out from Cohen again on this.

As team stooge, my belief is Sox need to balance traits first and foremost, not positional star power. Schwarber slams a lot of issues we have. And if you get him, is swinging a Kiermeier/Glasnow trade a bad idea? Possibly add glasnow for a crazy bullpen piece for playoffs and 2023 rotation piece. Basically, I think we are in complementary mode. Would be nice to have the data these teams have.

I did not know he was a starter? the Cincinnati guy?

4/56, pretty good for Gray. Assume any moderately successful SP starts at $12M this offseason.

Yeah $40 million is not at all shocking. Cole was what, $36? With scherzer, assume your AAV is gonna be highest paid.

4 years, totally different market when half the teams are trying to wjn

Man what garbage leaking this shit out like this. If I had serious offers no way I deal with this Mets crap.

I think it’s not wrong. For one, we also need power, which story has previously had. And I don’t know that priority for 2b shouldn’t be defense first and foremost. But it would have to be a situation that was on favorable terms.

I mean what pitcher wants to go to the Mets to just be rehabbing all year every year?

I think it is setting up to be some amazing content when he signs with the Dodgers or Angels for less money again.

It is crazy how good Mark Shapiro is. Looked like they were in for a long one after that Bautista core. Amazing drafting and Intl.

I want certain things I’m just not belligerent about them. I also clearly believe more than most in some of the pieces on this team.

I thought they were gonna be a LOT more active.

Misread this, guess it’s not done.

Definitely felt like a ranger signing. Fun park switch. Surprised cubs didn’t go after him.

Maybe but the nice thing with Conforto is he is here to provide the RHP balance, people wouldn’t need him to be a super star. This team really just needed to balance out some weaknesses, which you can do with brute force like signing a Semien, but there are other ways out of this.

Fathom, I’m sorry but it is your fault somebody else said something.

He’s definitely at an age where roger Clemens like maintenance may be needed, yet if you want to disagree, feel free. I’ll take max scherzer in the playoffs
