December 3, 20223 yr Legitimately shocked Cohen let deGrom leave the Mets. I'd now expect them to pivot towards signing one of Verlander or Rodon.
December 3, 20223 yr Mets fans getting on Yankees fans about potentially losing Judge and then DeGrom leaves the Mets.... I call that irony. Edited December 3, 20223 yr by SoxAce

December 3, 20223 yr Man that's crazy. I thought most of these guys were going to resign with their teams but that doesn't look like it will be the case. There's going to be a lot more movement than I thought.

Remember braves jumping on Smyly for 1 yr $10 mill for like 8 IP a few years ago? Anyone teams think have potential go for $10-$16 mil. Surprise to me is Eflins years. The Disney money is burning a hole in the pockets of owners and GM 's now. They got it and they're spending it.

Must be nice to have an owner that prioritizes winning. I'd much, much rather "overpay" for a star player in this contention window than whatever the hell Jerry is doing right now.

December 3, 20223 yr Rangers now have signed three players to +$185M contracts in the last ~12 months whereas the Sox have sign zero $75+ contracts in franchise history.
December 3, 20223 yr That is really insane for a pitcher. This is one area I agree with JR. Develop your own or get them in short term deals for big bucks - long term with massive bucks is just so risky.

We sign guys past their primes looking to catch lightning and that rarely works.
December 3, 20223 yr One thing that Rosenthal or Bowden mentioned is no company will provide insurance on this contract, so there is a non-zero chance of this blowing up in epic fashion

Semien had a higher fWAR last year than any White Sox 2nd basemen has since 1965. But the final few years on that deal might get ugly, so clearly Jerry's approach to not even bother with signing good players is the way to go ?
