Any real talk or Rumors for the Crew

I wonder how many bargain bin deals this would mean -
Any real talk or Rumors for the Crew
narwhalattack replied to brewmann04's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Agreed. Nothing wrong with using those guys as occasional/situational bench bats, but expecting them to be difference makers and relying on them to help carry the team to the WS is a tough sell. They’re basically band-aid players, and expecting more of them is a fool’s errand. -
Kim signed for 4 years for 25 mil. I wonder how much the posting fee was. Looking at the contract itself in a vacuum, it’s depressing to think that we couldn’t even spare 7-8 mil per year for this guy.

Man, I wish there will come a day when we’re actually in the race for Asian players.

Turang, Mitchell, Perez, Kelly, Small, Zamora, Feliciano, Ashby, Warren, Quero. Badler mentioned Eduardo Garcia just missed the top ten. Badler also said there is a tier drop off after Kelly at #4. Mentioned that Kelly versus Hedbert for the #3 spot is debatable. Wow, they're much higher on Perez than I thought. Considering that he's already #3 in the system at age 17, the sky seems to be the limit for this kid.

Shortstop Ha-Seong Kim to be Posted
narwhalattack replied to Eye Black's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
It's a shame that we're almost never in the running in the Asian market, but it's still interesting to see that the Jays are in the lead as opposed to the usual Angels, Dodgers, and Yankees. -
So a guy who isn’t even going to pitch this upcoming season. Oooookay, then

2021 MLB Draft Thread (Pre-Draft Discussion)
narwhalattack replied to Eye Black's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
At least until they deal it. That pick may not last the week LOL. Time to deal the pick for another middling reliever with an 85 mph fastball -
I'd add the Mets to that list as well. With a new owner, they seem to be aiming to make as many splash deals as possible.
-
I feel like there's a greater risk to holding on to relievers. I've seen too many relievers have solid seasons and then all of a sudden implode the very next year.

We've already passed it. Hader had immense value a year or two ago when his control was higher and his average cost per year remaining was lower. He's worth something, but it isn't nearly what it was and isn't nearly what an average fan is going to like. I think they're going to hold onto him for that very reason. Yelich is the same deal in a different way. A year ago was the optimal window if you were going to trade him, he was one of the most valuable trade chips in baseball. His rough year to a lesser extent, and his extension to a greater extent, have significantly and negatively impacted his surplus value since that time. They're all-in on keeping Yelich for the long haul now and he'll not be dealt, IMO. In some way, I think this was more of a "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario. If someone was offering an amazing package a year ago, Stearns would've pulled the trigger already. The fact that Hader is still with us likely means that the market was just never there, and had Stearns pulled the trigger earlier, we still may have been underwhelmed by what we got. Yet at the same time, the longer we continue to hold on to him, the less return we may get.
-
At least with Hader, a lot of the trade proposals seem go something like this: A utility infielder A former top prospect that hasn’t been productive since 2016 The 57th best prospect in the system Maaaybe the 25th best prospect in the system if they’re feeling generous
-
Haven’t seen the chatter, but I imagine it went something like this: “Oh boy, we’re gonna get Yelich AND Hader for a sack of potatoes-“ Headline: Lance Lynn
-
Assuming that Narvaez is able to bounce back from this past season. Forgot where I read it from, but I think I read somewhere that Narvaez wasn't unlucky, he was just flat-out hitting poorly.
-
So we’re helping our poor-hitting offense by signing... another guy who can’t hit.
-
The incompetence of the O’s could be to our gain. Can’t hurt to pick him up.
-
At this point I hope that Hader is NOT traded to the Yankees, mostly out of spite. I'm getting sick of seeing Yankees fans thinking they can get Hader for a sack of potatoes.

Brewers sign Gyorko - MLB deal

[sarcasm]Brewers sign local little league team for $500 [/sarcasm] -
Man, Twitter right now is just saturated with Yankees fans thinking they could trade a sack of potatoes for Hader

Shortstop Ha-Seong Kim to be Posted
narwhalattack replied to Eye Black's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I’d love for us to sign this guy, but I’m expecting him to sign with a west coast team. It’s fun to dream, though. -
Agreed, I see a lot of guys similiar to the crap we brought in this last off season. Makes me think we will see a similar roster to the one we ended with. Might as well give Garrett Mitchell a chance. At the very least we’ll get the same results
-
From an utter wreck to a Cy Young contender. Before this season I was hoping to see a decent season from him. I certainly did not expect to see him dominate like this
-
I honestly forgot we still had Faria in the first place
-
I was wondering what happened to his glasses.... [sarcasm]But its time to trade him. He gave up a run today... [/sarcasm] [sarcasm]Nah, who would even take a scrub like him? Clearly we have no choice but to DFA him[/sarcasm]
