Nothing. Stupid money for a guy who's home/road splits say he will be a bust anywhere but CO.
They were better this past year plus he has been a Gold Glover every year he has played in the MLB. I would give something for him just not sure what.

So looking at what is left on the market for us to go after, I guess I'd want:

1B: CJ Cron
3B: Todd Frazier
CF: Pillar
C: Chirinos


Offer all of them 2 year deals to entice them to want to sign here. That gives us a better return if they start well and we can trade anyone at the deadline.

consider the return they would want, I'm not sure I'd even listen to what they want. Not blocking our young 3B guys for the next 6-7 years is why I am ok with missing on Rendon. My issue with the Rendon thing is that JD showed he's an idiot and can't read a market.

I don’t want pillar. Nobody from the 2015-2016 jays please.

We heard in real dollars that it was close but no disagreement about length of contract.

More of what I am saying is perception of offer although yes not our best offer was not as bad as perceived

I think Rendon wanted to play with Trout and Ohtani

One reason not to always go in rebuild mode even if guys are not extended in what some day is a timely fashion
I think he would have loved to ay in his home state of the money were equal. We will never find out because either JD didn't really want him or JD is a horrific negotiator.

Now that cracked me up.

Saw that Red Sox just wasted 6 mill on Perez. He started off so great last year and still ended up with an ERA over 5.

I don't want to block anyone but what is a realistic solution to address our present 3B hole? I can't see putting a player who has only a dozen or starts at the position there on a fulltime basis

delete the last one and I would agree. you're just too eager to get rid of Minor
Lol and you are too eager to keep him.

If they had to have Lynn also, I would consider that.

I like the fact that we have 5 starters instead of what we had in 2019 which was 2 good starters in Minor and Lynn and 3 holes. your whole plan seems to centered on "what can we get" not on having a decent team on the field. I know your whole mentality is "wait until 2021 or 2002 etc" some of us want to see the team do some competing now and 2020 and 2021 and so-on and not wait until your window opens to start it. we want the same thing in the end we just don't like your path
