OK, enough of this tomfoolery. They need to sign someone so we can get pissed off about it!
Bryan Reynolds wasn't always valued as well as he is now. So, who knows, Carter, Smith, or Duran may be the future CF we need and turn out to be the new Reynolds. Or, we may get him in the draft next summer.
Hate to say it but I would take the above on the none category
What percent would you give the "none"?Hate to say it but I would take the above on the none category
33% not including Baez. Wonder if they settle for Semien if they put him at SS.Hate to say it but I would take the above on the none category

“While the new proposal contains the same age threshold for free agency qualification, Evan Drellich, Ken Rosenthal and Eno Sarris of the Athletic report that this offer would tie pre-free agency pay directly to a player’s Wins Above Replacement tally. Under this structure, a player’s service time and career WAR marks (weighted to emphasize the most recent seasons more heavily) would set the player’s salary. While multiple websites calculate WAR totals in different ways, MLB’s proposal would base salaries on FanGraphs’ WAR tabulations.“
Well 2 out of 3 ain’t bad as the song goesI would like to start hearing that we have talked to the representatives of all three of the SS.
I have only read about the one. Who besides Seager?Well 2 out of 3 ain’t bad as the song goes
Wow, you are very pessimistic. They should have more money to offer than any other team. If they cannot get one with their financial resources, they might want to find a new way to make a living.33% not including Baez. Wonder if they settle for Semien if they put him at SS.
Don’t think we get Corea, maybe Seager. Most likely Story. If it comes down to Baez, I would rather keep IKF and wait a year or two

my concern is players all things equal want to go where they can win. We have not yet truly moneywhpped anyone. Sort of like when we lost in Greinke.

We haven't tried to moneywhip anyone. We were competitive with Lee and Beltre, but we didn't moneywhip them.my concern is players all things equal want to go where they can win. We have not yet truly moneywhpped anyone. Sort of like when we lost in Greinke. And yet you likely hate to hear it Rendon
How so? Cliff Lee exceeded the value of the contract he signed, and was an absolute stud for 3 of those seasons. Then he got hurt and missed the last year and a half, but the Phillies had already gotten their money's worth before that... the missed season was disappointing but the contract overall was notWe lost out on resigning Cliff Lee which never should have happened but was a blessing.
Point is signing one of the big 3 is no slam dunk and 66% is fairly optimistic and that is because CY is selling the team. I think getting Correa is about 10%. Highly doubt he comes here. Too much past bad blood
