Talkin’ Jake makes a pretty flawed point here (bringing up other players does nothing to provide the appropriate context of the numbers he himself posted), but even within his terrible point, I’m not sure including Arenado accomplishes what he wants it to accomplish. In his first season away from Coors he produced a .255/.312/.494 slash line, a bit of a step back from his career .288/.345/.535. Talkin’ Jake seems like a dipshit.

Worth noting that thread kicked off because Jake was saying Story would provide better value at his cheaper price compared to Correa’s $300 million price tag, not that Story is necessarily better.

Oh, man, no Correa for the Yankees and the Astros get Verlander back.

Sad day in the Helobious household (which is 1,500 miles from NY).

 

[Helobious 9456]

No surprise. Cashman betting it all that one of Anthony Volpe or Oswaldo Peraza turns into a star.

[henrygandorf 29189]

i would like trevor story to sign with the yankees.  or the rangers.

So the Tigers are bidding against themselves for Correa. Not ideal for 300 Million Dollar Man. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

 

[WBT 20559]

Wow.  Longoria 2.0?

[billfromlaketravis 11445]

I don’t like that contract for the Rays. Franco has played in 70, seventy, 7-0 major league games. 
 

He is the right age for a 12 year deal, but that’s a lot of money for the cheapest organization in professional sports. 

[kevwun 15758]

It's also the only way they're going to hang on to a player of his caliber long-term.

That's a great deal for the Rays.  I wish the Astros had done something like that with Correa.

For another 100M?

I don't think it would have been that much.  By doing it so early, you're averaging out 5-6 years when he still would have been relatively cheap with 6-7 years after he would have been a free agent.

Ah I get what you mean now. My bad. 

Hard to predict those types of things. This could blow up in the Rays face for all we know. 

[Helobious 9456]

You fools are thinking in terms of total $ amount when you should be thinking in terms of AAV.

It will make him easy to trade when the time comes.

Amazing he had so much trouble finding a GM

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

2/$20M for Eduardo Escobar to Mets. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

And 2/$26.5M for Canha to join him. 

[Scraps 13560]

Mets trying to get uppity. Too bad none of them can pitch

[Horny Bull 2759]

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

4/$78M, quite the busy day.

7 years for Semien? That seems like a lot. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

When you suck real bad, gotta do shit like that. He’s no Nick Solak. 

[C-Man 27183]

7 years for Semien? That seems like a lot. 

For a 31-year-old late bloomer who never crested 100 OPS+ until 2019? It absolutely seems like a lot but perfectly on-brand for this club.

[Radical Larry 28539]

[Horny Bull 2759]

Mets apparently closing in on Scherzer.

[henrygandorf 29189]

oh. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15942]

Fake account, bro.

[henrygandorf 29189]

indeed. “mets” and “front runner” should’ve been a dead giveaway. 

[Fastbreak 3975]

what is the joy of these fake accounts? are people so desperate for attention that they resort to this?

answer: yes

Actually probably not too far off. Lots of chatter that the Mets offer is 3/$120m

Should be fun the next 2 days 

[Chuckie Finster 22692]

When do Mets fans start getting nervous?  Feel like it's never good news when negotiations are rumored to be "almost complete" and then we go this long without an update.

Sounds like Rangers are signing Jon Gray as well.  Missed that if posted here.
