Squirmin' for Yermin

I don't think we are discussing 74 million dollar deals.. We are talking large, 100+ million.. If we refuse to take risks there we will never amount to anything,

Almost none.

Personally I do think Kopech will be a very very good pitcher.. But I would love to ease that pressure.

We are discussing passing at 5 years 100-110. No excuse

I don't think anyone here will be mad if we pass at those numbers.. He's proven to be a #2 pitcher. There's potential for more. Not seeing that is asinine

meh.. Sure Ryu is the better pitcher when healthy... Sadly he's never healthy. He has worse injury history than wheeler lol. I'll take the potential and better health of wheeler

The Dodgers also have a bajillion SP.

2.

This is pretty much where I stand

I would be fine passing at 6 years.. But almost anything in the 5 year range would be bitter if we don't beat the offer.

What Cole thing?

I think the second would be a one year deal UNLESS a guy like Ryu falls too cheaply to pass on (3 years for 45)

Because we all remember Dunn and Larouch... BUT apart from them I can't specifically think of anyone else.

I believe he is in the same tier as a Marcel Osuna. 4 year-50 million? Does that sound resonable for Joc?

He just mashes RH pitching though.. And what percentage of pitching is RH? 70%?

they're not even close

Especially Joff.

winner

Goodness Blackmon would be nice.. But his contract is huge and he'd cost a lot

I honestly really like Lemonade for some reason...

Almost all of those names would be interesting to add. There's a lot I like there. Franco (RH DH platoon with Collins, when Abreu is at 1B), Treinen RP, Hernandez or Peraza as our stop gap 2B while we wait for Madrigal, Pillar or Santana as a RF cheap option, Taijuan Walker for our SP2. I love this non-tender list more than any year prior that I can remember

I BELIEVE it starts with the same division worst record to best then goes to the other division. So it appears the entire AL passed on Villar. I could be mistaken.

I would hate that Marco trade... People forget Dunning was a top 70 prospect and rising before he had his TJ.. I don't think we should value him much less than that now. Let's see what he brings and not trade him for Marco Gonzalez.

did not kinow the current injury

Jose Peraza not tendered a contract. 2B stop gap for Madrigal?
