Now, maybe ya know, try to get some pitching. 6/90 sounds like a steal -- perfect player for that team. Pisses me off that they didn't pay through the nose for him. Wish the Sox hadn't banked on Pedey's return with cadaver's knees and signed someone decent (a la DJL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kluber 1yr/$11mm Well, I guess that's something. $11m seems pretty steep for a guy that's barely pitched the last two years, but whatever it ain't my money. I mean seriously, so next year LeMahieu will make $15 million and Kluber will make $11 million? Baseball is funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Lord Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Twins about to sign Bauer.* They're going to need him if they want to stay competitive in the Central, let alone make any move towards winning a playoff game. To this point, they've been just shedding parts of a club that was good-not-great last year. *Hahaha... I crack myself up. Like they'd do what they need to acquire a true top-tier pitcher.

DMC Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Yanks trade for Jameson Taillon, who's been a very good pitcher when he's actually on the mound, but is coming off his second Tommy John and hasn't pitched since Summer 2019. By all accounts, at least his velocity is still there. Cashman continues to impress - he was able to provide high-upside options for the rotation while staying under the $210 million tax threshold. The fact ownership is forcing him to stay under the threshold is absolutely, Scrooge McDuck-level absurdly and comically greedy, but such is life. Because of such golden handcuffs, Cashman has assembled 7 starters to fill 4 spots after Cole, all with significant to very significant question marks: Severino, Kluber, Taillon, Montgomery, German, Garcia, Schmidt. That may well be enough to get through the whole season, and maybe they're lucky enough that two or three of them are in peak shape come playoff time. The best part of the deal is the Yanks didn't give up much of anything. I like Roansy Contreras but in terms of stuff/performance/level he's a dime a dozen. Yajure even more so, albeit he's considerably more likely to provide more actual production at the major league level. Smith barely has any trade value and Escotto is a pure lotto ticket. The worst part of the deal is that this seems to seal the deal that they're moving on from Tanaka. His production wasn't exactly eye-popping, and I certainly will not miss watching his painstakingly slow pitching style, but he was a rock in terms of reliability and more importantly was a super class act that is the epitome of how you want a professional athlete to comport himself. Thanks and best of luck, Masa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Yanks salary dumped Adam Ottavino to the Red Sox. So now he'll get to eat up the Yanks' almost all righty lineup for twenty games this season all so the Steinbrenner family can stay under the $210 tax threshold. Fucking outrageous.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 No one will be going to the HoF this year, and there's one special piece of shit that is salty as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Is there anyone that was clinging to this year as their last chance to get in? I guess Bonds, Clemens, and Schilling get one more shot? I think Schilling is a douchenozzle but people aren't voting for Most Congenial. All things being equal in 'the era' shouldn't all three get in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMC Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I agree with Buster Olney that the whole damn thing is ridiculous. Just wait for the self-righteous Boomers to die off and fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanteGabriel Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 If Curt Schilling had just kept his mouth shut after retiring he'd be in the Hall already. I think the postseason heroics qualify him. But if not getting in pisses him off, I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroclasticFlow Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 So many small moves happening the past week or so (wonder if the gate $$ really affected teams and the way they’re spending dough this offseason) Which of these moves will pay dividends first? Springer to Toronto::Hand to Washington::Ramos to Detroit::Galvis to Baltimore::Simmons to Minnesota::Semien to Toronto::Loup to NY Mets::Matz to Toronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Bonds should be in, even if you exclude his "alleged roid years", he had already had a HOF career on his HR, SB and Gold Glove totals before the steroid era even existed. But then again I'd put Rose and Shoeless Joe in as well so, 'it is what it is." Eta: Fuck Schilling though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 So apparently the Cubs have decided to replace Kyle Schwarber with Joc Pederson...who is essentially the west coast version of Kyle Schwarber...no details on the actual contract yet, but if it's more that the 10 million that the Nats have Schwarbs, there might be some sort of revolting in Chicago...

Argonath Diver Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I'm absolutely baffled at what you guys are doing upstate. Cards signed Waino back, our first move we've made in months, seems like. I laughed out loud at the Athletic posting a rumor that the Cards are interested in Arenado. Again. For the fifth straight year. Shocking development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
