Draft slot race comes down to The Wire as the Rangers head to Baltimore: 9/23-26

Some folks think Ricky Vansco may turn out to be every bit as good as Leiter and Winn, if not better.

Re Huff If he is a great hitter which is to be determined the he need to play daily which means he will have to split time if he is catching.
He is so big so guess that has been a concern.
Great Catchers that can hit are unicorns. I know Mauser finally transitioned

So thrust makes me take Lowe and his future with a grain of salt

Personally I look to trade both Guzman and Lowe this off-season and sign a FA 1Bman like Freddie Freeman to a 2 or 3 year. We could always flip him during either the 2023 or 2024 seasons for prospects

Lot of people think lots of things. Many top draft picks never made it.

Maybe we can change the name from Sportshoopla to LotsofPeopleThinkLotsofThings.

I guess that is better than the rest who don't think at all. Lol

I'd be shocked if Freeman leaves ATL, and there's no way he leaves for a 2-3 deal.

I wish I was in a position where gaining 40 pounds was a good thing

I can't even imagine eating 6200 calories every day for any length of time.

The Braves are only offering him a short term contract. He has refused their offers so I think he hits FA

for real?

EDIT: meaning the short term thing. I haven't seen anything that says that.

I had seen that they talked during the off-season and that the difference was length of contract. Atlanta only wanted to offer 2 years with possibly of an option 3rd year with an AAV around $11M and I think we could still see him hit FA.

No way that was accurate. He makes $22m/year now... Atlanta isn't going to offer a 3 year deal at $11m/year.

Thought I hit 2 twice busy . You are right I meant to type 22. It’s all pipe dreams toward toward the team anyway. I have my doubts that a JD led team will do much of anything any way

makes more sense. still, a 3 year deal is a pretty big slap in the face if true. even JD isn't that dumb

Wut?

i think he hits FA and finds there aren't many teams that need a 1Bman and are willing to go much more than 3 years. if we had any chance it would be 3 years and around 68 to 74M.

JD is known for going short on contract length
