Yeah Leury actually hits right handed better. I don't think Harrison's splits are too dramatic though.

Kimbrel to Philly not looking too good.

What do we think he got? 2 years and 20 million? 2 years and 18 million?

I'm gonna guess the Bassitt trade had some impact on what we were trying to do. Because the 2 signings came out not long after.

We somehow got a even harder throwing bullpen than last year. That's kind of impressive. Now we've got 3 guys throwing hard sinkers as well. Graveman and Kelly can both throw 97-98 on their sinker.

Yeah he was awful with Oakland after they traded for him. This has Adam Eaton signing written all over it. We're gonna pay this guy $7 million to put up at most 1 WAR.

At least OAA likes his defense. His xBA was good too, which is odd given how bad his hard hit and EV numbers were.

He was better after the spidertack ban. I'd like to see how much we paid, but I don't think this is necessarily a worse signing than Tepera.

The FO clearly like guys who throw hard sinkers. Maybe they played a lot of MLB The Show.

The 85 exit velo is a good sign that he won't see a ton of BABIP regression.

This is... disappointing. I'd rather have someone like Brad Miller.

What happens if Cano gets caught for PEDs again? Isn't he banned for life?

The problem I see with a trade for McNeil is that the Mets are in win-now mode but want to avoid the highest CBT threshold and want to trade for pitching. Kimbrel makes $13.5 million more next year and he's probably the only pitcher we have available to trade that can help the Mets. It makes sense for the Sox, but I'm not sure we have what the Mets want.

Yeah you don't say that about a guy making $16 million that you could be stuck with.

Ewwww

That's Portillo's hamburger

Home town discount.

Nah that whole thing was just about some rats. lol

If Hahn can somehow work a trade around Kimbrel for McNeil, I'll stop complaining about the Kimbrel deal.

Jeff McNeil?

Bryant would be the biggest gut punch.

IIRC, the wi-fi on the cruises are ass. At least that was the case 3 years ago when I went. Could be different now, but who knows.

I know, I was trying to justify why they're probably not going after Correa after this signing.

Are they planning to play Hoerner in the OF then? Shouldn't Madrigal be back too at the start of the season? I don't think they're getting Correa.

At least they didn't get roped along all off-season only to get Manny Machado's friends and relatives. It could be a lot worse.
