The QO is $7M more. Also wasn’t good the second half.

Unfortunately, doesn’t sound like they will spend like that.

With no track record though, I don’t think he gets it. I can see him gambling on 1 year/$22M and having no draft pick attached in a year.

Imanaga, Torres and Grisham I can see taking it.

I never said he was.

Someone will still sign Mullins as a bounce back candidate and to be their primary CF.

Michael Taylor and Mullins shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence. Like what.

I’d only do it if it means they brought in an every day 1B. As of right now, there’s still at bats available since Vargas and Sosa can play 1B. Kinda think they might as well give Sosa an OF glove though. Feels like the odd man out.

2 guys I would buy low on since Jerry is going to be cheap anyway: Casas and Detmers

Feel like it was done in good faith and an extension is being discussed/announced soon.

Shane Bieber picking up his player option is wild. He’ll now earn $16M rather than go to free agency with a $4M buyout.

Based on history, it wouldn’t be surprising at all.

Eventually, this gamble will work!

Yeah and the payroll is so low. They should be willing to eat half (if not more honestly) to get the best package available). Hopefully some team is aggressive and thinks he can play to his potential and deals for him in the offseason.

Yeah, one less year of control now. If you hold onto him until say July, what kind of offer are you looking at now? Probably pretty similar to last July.

It was a slam dunk when they didn’t trade him

Yes

24 feels right around where they will be

Yeah back when the big spenders were in the "penalty box" from overspending the prior year (the old International Amateur rules).

Oh I know. Going to be bare minimum. Saw them as a good landing spot for Lewin Diaz! (A guy who hasn’t played in the MLB since 2022 but hit 50 homers in Korea last season).

Not going to happen but f*** it, sign Naylor to a 4-5 year deal. Dude isn’t going to get a huge deal, hits left-handed, doesn’t cost a draft pick.

Ramos is quickly becoming forgettable. We’ll see how he comes into camp.

Let’s wait until if we have too many good hitting MLB ready OFs before we start thinking of moving one.

Agreed.

They kind of had a crunch of infields they played at 1B anyway. Not that I think either Sosa nor Vargas is a longterm solution there.
