I thought he retired.

I thought he retired.

this is probably the retirement signing

Makes more sense with Santana signing.

Didn't even mind dealing Naylor as honestly seemed like maybe our only inlikeable player. Obviously can live with that but guessing he will want too much to extend.

Not even a dump with the Santana signing........but how about spend the money we saved on Gimenez elsewhere

Maybe a Kwan extension is going to be where they spend it haha

Sadly might be right. While extending him would be great doesn't do anything to add talent.

This Golden At Bat proposal is silly

Gleyber Torres signs with Detroit. 1/15

not sure if i am happy the yankees didnt sign him...

its weird, losing Soto takes a big piece out of our offense...

but signing Goldy and Bellanger, both can have real upside.... but if they have trouble, i would have wanted to keep the younger and more consistent bat in gleyber... i still think he is a good bat...

He has all the talent in the world, and showed glimpses his first few years with the Yankees. He's a defensive liability however, and don't get me started on the effort. I'm happy I don't have to watch him slow jog to 1B on ground balls anymore.

yea... i mean, there is a reason the yankees gave up on him... i was not ready to do so... but i understand why they did... not going to miss him too much...

Is using one of the WORST contracts in the history of sport as a template really a good idea?

If he keeps the $ the same today that’s hardly a ton of money compared to Fielder’s era

 

[chappee11]

Yeah, that is absolutely absurd. Alonso is going to end up with one of those 2-3 year deals with multiple opt-outs because Boras grossly overestimated his market.

Alonso also wasn't nearly the hitter Fielder was

Posted in the NL West thread, but it looks quiet, so I'll add it here:

There has been talk about this transaction in the Giants' forum.
We aren't expecting much from the team this year but are excited to have even an aging Verlander join the rotation.
