Bob Sacamano

Sign a good hitter and hope you are winning big early and plug Engel or good defensive outfielder out there in the 7th or 8th

Didn’t he just opt out or a remaining 3 year deal? Idk why he would take a 1-2 year deal. Nevermind it was 2. Still no way he signs for one or two years.

So what happens if the MVP or CY Young isn’t a pre-arb player? The money just stays in the pool for everyone else?

He did but it was also a ridiculously soft 60-game schedule. Pretty sure the only good offensive team we faced was the Twins lol Edit: he actually made 2 starts and did good against them lol

I feel like if he were a free agent, he'd get a 2 or 3 year deal, with a little less AAV. $16 mill for one year isn't too crazy me thinks.

I know that felt like a "they're doing their best but remember, if they don't add anyone, they still look really good with the guys they have." Almost setting us up for disappointment lol

I honestly wanted him last off-season. I wanted them to grab another corner outfield bat to split corner OF and DH with Eloy and keep Vaughn in the minors for a bit. He would have been a nice piece to have post-Eloy injury lol

Yeah I thought that too. I think it would be more structured like this though: ALC vs NLC 2 series, 1 home 1 away. Then ALC plays 1 series against half the NLE and NLW teams at home and the other half away. And then the following year, rotate home and away with the teams in the NLE and NLW. Edit: will be interesting to see if and how it happens.

I don't know, I'm good not seeing Tigers, Royals, Guardians (this was weird to type lol), and Twins 19 times a year.

Wow wtf.

I think Conforto will get less than Bryant so you can factor that in too. I also think Conforto is a better fit. Will be excited if they sign Bryant or Castellanos though lol

If they would commit to doing that and have him around as a 6th starter, I would totally be cool with them adding another legit SP.

His salary off the books is definitely worth it.

I love any scenario that gives the Dodgers even more depth causing a Lux for Kimbrel trade to become a thing lol (it won't but let me dream!)

Established vet for sure.

They were not supposed to be doing anything.

Yeah, play an extra series at the end of the season and make up another series with doubleheaders. Fortunately for the Sox, they were playing ALC teams so should be easy to make up.

This wouldn't shock me at all but please no.

We've got an emoji at least ?

Honestly, that's fair.

It's almost like Rick is in the chat. It's uncanny.

Hey don't you dare call me that! JK thanks bud!

Hell of a birthday gift for me. You guys can thank me later for wishing hard enough lol

The guy who signed for $341 million? Of course it is.

Who are even the Mets' representatives? Scherzer on a 3 year deal wouldn't give a shit so it has to be whoever else is there.
