    Sam Miller was let go too.

    The AAVs were proposed were what he may sign for a shorter year commitment. If Gerrit Cole was a free agent this year and said he'd only sign a 1 or 2 year deal, he'd make more than his 36 million. The point which everyone else followed was that he views himself as a top 5 pitcher, so you may be able to avoid a long-term commitment if you hit an AAV that puts him there. If you are going 6 years, nobody is saying he'd be getting a greinke deal.

    It seems you have just heard of trevor bauer this year and are trying to lecture other people about him.

    In 2018 he had a 2.21 ERA and has had over 200 strikeouts for 3 years straight.175 IP for 4 years straight. Also nobody said he'd make over 300 million or even 200 million.

    what many posters here want is a company that can learn how to play their inner monologue over the white sox broadcast.

    You'd lose bogaerts next year and be paying him a lot this year. I don't mind Eovaldi flyer, say we don't give up that much pitching. We'd get to use Eovaldi as he was when he was his most vlauable to the red sox.

    I'm with you. From 2019 to 2020, Kikuchi's: K% went from 16% to 25% FB Velocity went from 92.5 to 95 mph doubled the whiff % on his fastball cut his barrel % in half, increased his GB% over 50% His ERA was over 5, his FIP was 3.3, his xERA was 3.17. I do think you could get him for less, but if he pitches to his true numbers last year you end up with an affordable contract you hold for next 4 years.

    Poor Zack. Second fiddle in his own mock trade

    Hell yes!

    Now we’re talking

    closing this, as we are well into the offseason, and have specific target threads.

    I don't think they like Gleybars D but madrigal would give them salary relief at 2b and improved defense (lol no idea), which can get them to spend on pitching OR Realmuto.

    If Harold responds putting Yadi on the sox I will kill him.

    Yeah phillies have a few guys I've circled. Problem is I have no idea where that FO is going to take things. They seem to have an angry owner! But like, not much to do except spend thru it or send out some of guys they've signed. I'm kinda interested in a reclamation project of Velasquez. I don't know why they haven't shelved his curveball. He's got too many pitches. But there's a lot there. Maybe bullpen role can make him.

    Here's my psychoanalysis of bauer and I believe I'm right. This free agency is about validation for Bauer. He sees himself as a top pitcher. He's saying all the right things to not let baggage drag him down. He's put in a ton of work and this is an area where he expects to see the feedback live up to that. So if you give him a one year deal that makes him the best paid pitcher in baseball? I think he'd sign it. Meaning, if you put 1 yr $38 million on the table? That makes him higher paid than trout, and I think he'd sign it. So then you have to think about AAVs or total salary. Top AAVs by pitcher Cole - $36 million AAV Total $324 mill Scherzer - $35.9 million AAV // Total $210 million Greinke - $35 million AAV // Total $206.5 million Strasburg - $35 million AAV // Total $245 million Verlander - $33 million AAV // Total $66 million Price - $32 million AAV // Total $217 million He thinks he's a top 5 pitcher. These are top 5 pitcher salaries. I don't think anyone is getting him the $200+ million this year. But it's possible he gets a 4 yr deal if they put him at $35 mill or above. My .02. This is going to seem high to people, but I still think he hits these levels of $30 mill +

    Makes you think.

    throw some good stuff out for my tradeheads. Anyone can propose our top prospects for good players! Let's get to the hard stuff: trades that are very unlikely and nobody feels that strongly or good about. Potential Teams: Oakland As - The As have a lot of free agents and two very bad contracts that may prevent them from re-signing players like Semien and la stella. Trade: White Sox Get: Khris Davis (1 yr/ $16.5 mm) Chris Bassett (1 yr / 4.5?) As get: Salary relief to sign Semien, go after SPs like Mike Leake and Hamels, and sign Hanser Alberto Zach Collins Isaiah Carranzo Yankees Nobody ever wins trades with the yankees since the white sox acquired our dear sweet Jose Contreras. This trade will make people angry! White Sox Get: Gary Sanchez Mike Tauchman Yankees Get Nick Madrigal White sox get a player at his lowest value in Sanchez, whom they can use as DH until vaughn comes, and if he recovers have a cracker jack DH/C/1b rotation. Tauchman gets them a nice, cheap RF platoon against RHP pitchers. He was also down last year, but still had a good wRC+ against RHP and if he gets back to 2019 then he's a great option since he was not a platoon guy. Yankees keep Sanchez from signing with a rival in Tampa, get his salary off books, and replace Lemahieu with a cheap option and diversify their offensive attack.

    You keep saying this but he may very well have had to make changes that affect his secondaries and command and we have zero idea if that's the case.

    Honeywell hasn't pitched in 3 years
  20. bmags
    oh boy, yeah. I will say that trade while oft-referenced isn't really used as a benchmark for anything other than anger. The only four trades that have happened in baseball history are all that we can use to judge each trade.
  21. bmags
    There were only four trades in baseball history: Semien, Bassett, Josh Phegley, Rangel Ravelo for Jeff Samardzija Gleybar Torres, Mckinney, and Warren for Aroldis Chapman Eloy Jimenez, Dylan Cease, filler for Jose Quintana Yoan Moncada, Michael Kopech, Luis Basabe, Victor Torres for Chris Sale

    three way action Rays get Wilson Contreras Dalquist Adolfo Sox get Blake Snell Brent Honeywell Cubs get Kopech Stiever
  23. bmags
    kopech, stiever, dalquist is not a chris sale deal.

    I have to imagine the Rays want offense. I know Franco is coming, but they also have mclanahan, baz, and in theory McKay but I don't know what the shoulder injury will do to him. They really, really need a catcher. There are not many fits there. Clearly the yanks were terrified of Sanchez ending up in tampa. Who knows. Whomever the rays want you can be sure is probably going to be pretty good.

    Rays will steal Bailey from us ?
