Something like Painter and Bohm from the Phillies fits the bill value wise (according the website) but I probably wouldn't do that. I would trade Burnes for Painter in the offseason however.
I think it would take a can't miss stud 3rd baseman and a stud starting pitcher. Both of the players would have to have at least 4 years of control left as well.
Wilson and Guerra are in the "B" group so hopefully we only see them in games that are pretty much decided. Replace them with Houser and Uribe and the pen looks better.
Gotta imagine the Jets GM gets fired if he botches the Rodgers trade.
Yes the Jets COULD sign Lamar Jackson but the Ravens could just as easily match and then the Jets either stick with Wilson or spend a ton of draft capital to move up and get a rookie.

So Rodgers wasn't answering when Gute called. I can't believe Rodgers left that out of his story!
I imagine it was like this when Gute attempted to call him.
You can do a Brewers game cheaply if you want. If you decide that you need great seats, eat a full meal in the stadium, have drinks, etc. then of course it will cost more. This is no different than going to a zoo, theme park, movie, etc.
Another part about this that hasn't been talked about much is this draft. If this doesn't get done by this year's draft, that could change things a bit. The Jets have the 13th pick in the draft and would very likely have a much lower pick in next year's draft with Rodgers. Plus current year draft picks always have a little more value (even in what is considered a weaker draft).
If the Jets want this to be a 2024 draft pick, they for sure need to cough up their first, maybe more.
I'm always amazed that people are so offended when an obvious grift is pointed out to them.
I don't mind paying for schools honestly but the tax credits/breaks are dumb as most are.
Because you could keep him a year or two and then trade him for more than 2 first round picks? Or you could trade him to a team that doesn't get one of the good quarterbacks in the draft.
Deshaun Watson, a worse quarterback, got more than 3 first round picks.
Also, if the Jets thought Lamar was a good option, why do so much to get AR? It would have been malpractice to not have SOME idea what the Packers wanted before going to California to meet with AR.
No one knows how long Lamar will go before signing with another team or back with Baltimore anyways.
If Rodgers hears this, 100% he is not going and will just retire or find another team. Then Baltimore matches on Jackson and you are probably stuck with Zach Wilson as your quarterback and the NY media is going to destroy you.
Sure you could trade up in the draft for one of the rookies but you are going to pay dearly.
