2014 Offseason Plans Thread

[darrylgann]

you thought after the Pujhols contract, our ARod contract, teams would learn about giving out long contracts.

Moving guys a few years into these massive deals seems to be all the rage. Over under 3.5 seasons of Cano in Seattle?

Over

If they wanna mortgage their future with Cano and Price, then by all means go a head. Cano by himself is still not enough offense. I mean losing Brendan Ryan is going to hurt...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA That last bit was nothing but sarcasm.

Ha, got the sarcasm, not thrilled about facing Cano though...we've been struggling to beat them as it is.

meh...

 

[Hambombs]

So mike Napoli I can get on board withthat

The M's want to get serious and I've said this for a long time that Seattle is not afraid to spend and I wouldn't consider them "small market". I think Seattle could be a major force in a year or two.

10yr/240.
I wish we didn't have to face him all the time, but the worst part is this puts the Yankess right back into the FA pool.
I bet the M's try to trade for Price now.

Even if they do, pitching isn't their problem. Offense is. And Cano barely helps that since he has zero protection.

 

[lainey12]

Did he get a guaranteed 10?

 

[Hambombs]

Mariners are going to trade for price, trade for Matt kemp. I wouldn't be shocked lol

 

[RevSader]

Over

I think by 2018 he's gone.

Could be...

I'm not going to dismiss the Mariners quite as fast as others, they claim they aren't even done with a Cano signing.

However, I hope others are right

with you 100%.

Cano barely had any protection last year

Yep. All contracts are guaranteed in baseball. There may be buyout options but based on everything I've seen I highly doubt there is anything like that.

 

[fordman84]

well, lol at SEA.

And lol at the fake anger for the 10/252 request JayZ made. Way to 'save face' by talking him out of that last $12M and adding another year on like they wanted.

So how old is Cano when this is over? Looks like all Texas and the A's are going to have to do is not sign stupid contracts that binds us up starting in 2016-2020 and the two of us will own the ALWest.

And he's moving from that band box to Safeco.

I meant a full NT, which I assume he did

 

[darrylgann]

Hate to see Jay Z win on this thing. He almost got what he wanted. And I hate to see the Yankees as the smart ones on this.

 

[Hambombs]

And he's moving from that band box to Safeco.

I guess time will tell right? I mean it's a bad contract but it should help them this year

The saying remains...
"it only takes one team"
