PaleAleSox Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 33 minutes ago, Snopek said: Makes me like him even more. He’s clearly happy in Cleveland and he made staying there his priority over getting significantly more money. Respect the hell out of that. And they reward him by never spending the money he saves them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 1 hour ago, HoosierSox said: Credit to Ramirez for staying with the same team his whole career but he has left a lot of money on the table by never going to free agency. He could easily double that on the open market. Dude already had generational wealth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its about having a better contract than the competition. Its the competition. In the locker room the discussion isnt amount of the contract. Its he made more than him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Deep Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Acuna is your starting CF. Getz pretty much told you that when they traded for him in the Robert Deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it was funny considering he was just about the perfect player for the Mets to give up considering their roster and that he was out of options.

Chicago White Sox Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 29 minutes ago, WhiteSox2023 said: Not at two years and this price… Price is probably fine if you are trying to compete and need a CF, but the fit makes no sense for us. I could honestly see Acuna providing as much fWAR as Bader next year if Luisangel can tap into his power some. Bader’s bat is going to regress a lot next year and there is no simply no reason to block Acuna in 2026. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where we are now, I'm fine with Baldwin/Acuna and wait for Braden to come up at some point in the year. Let's find out if we have anything in Acuna and Baldwin (I like him, I think he has a chance to be a good ball player). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
