maxjusttyped Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Legitimately shocked Cohen let deGrom leave the Mets. I'd now expect them to pivot towards signing one of Verlander or Rodon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) Mets fans getting on Yankees fans about potentially losing Judge and then DeGrom leaves the Mets.... I call that irony. Edited December 3, 2022 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 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.

Dick Allen Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Just now, maxjusttyped said: He’s obviously great, but he would be my biggest red flag pitcher. He’s max effort and 35. The other older guys like Verlander and Scherzer do more pitching. His body parts have shown signs of failing. I think he’s elite for 2 years tops. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sign guys past their primes looking to catch lightning and that rarely works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
