WAR is only one way to compare players. There are other ways. I never use WAR myself. It is based on someone's theory about which stays should be given more weight than others and how much more.
Another sign that they are looking for minor league depth.

I think it was an empty complaint all along. I think those fans were grasping at straws to give the organization an excuse if they did not sign Beltre.
Lol. That isn't even close to what I was talking about.
I can see a team looking at their numbers and being wiing to give Werth $2 million more per year. It is not much difference per year. The difference in length may have related to their recent health. I am not willing to do that much digging. I am just saying we paid well for Beltre, and based on what Rendon has done I would have certainly paid well for him. I think JD intended to go that high, but he outsmarted himself when he thought he could start cheaper and with less years. I think when Rendon signed JD was shocked that he didn't get to negotiate more. Maybe they never meant to sign him to begin with like some have suggested, but I think he just messed up the negotiations.
smart money says that we pass on the options on Kluber, Frazier and Chirinos, don't re-sign Choo and re-sign Minor. now if we had real owners, i could see us signing Ozuna and Anthony Rizzo to play LF and 1B on long term deals and adding maybe James McCann C and Maikel Franco on short term deals to hold the fort until Huff and Jung are ready and moving Calhoun to DH. But what will probably happen they waste the money on Kluber, Frazier, Chirinos and re-sign Choo and talk about how good we're going to be in 2021
with this team we need a pair to support Gallo. we have such a weak ass roster
and Frazier looks bad too.
Frazier .306/370 not bad
maybe but he's not worth the 6+M for next year. he isn't a full season star
