Or Rendon

That was a completely different situation though. Daniels initial offer was so ridiculous that Boras didn't even take him seriously. Daniels was angry about the Hamilton deal and got embarrassed over the Rendon situation.

the Mets are an absolute shitshow

Sounds like when Hamilton took the Angels deal without checking back with JD.

Moral of the story is get the deal finalized. Don't count on them getting back to you to match another deal. Make them an offer they can't refuse if you want them that bad.

also STFU to the media

Narrator: he didn't. he doubled down.

No.

This is what I am watching for. The days before the CBA expiration could get crazy.
Today with the holiday upon us. Thinking will be quiet

A lot of nothing though re new CBA. Makes me think they are not close yet

 

[Kelleyman]

Going to beat this drum again…doubt if the offers out there for Matz were substantially different. He went where he wanted to go.
Ready to be a Cardinal over Met.

There are factors outside the highest penny. Wander Franco a good example of this.
I hope there is some sentimental edge for Story coming back to Texas

Had the Mets offered a better deal I might agree with you about Matz.

Matz also said the Cardinals did a great job of recruiting. When you know how to recruit players that helps a ton.

very much like the Cliff Lee situation. Money (and team strength) was better in Texas, but there were personal elements that gave Philly the edge.

According to the Mets they would readily matched the deal had they been given a chance to.

Eveyone has their own string to pull.

And, we didn't want to go the extra year that Cliff wanted, which turned out to be a very wise decision.

Don't recall anything about an extra year. Memory ain't what it used to be but my recollection is the value of the TEX offer was higher than the value of the PHI contract. Maybe it was 6 guaranteed with an option on the 7th? And PHI guaranteed the full 7?

But you really don’t know about the offer nor do I. I would think he just wanted to be a Cardinal
The Mets have been a mess lately as illustrated by the owner going public

There are things that are just beyond a teams control. Thinking this is a fundamental difference between you and I. To me it is like you think there is always a blame issue and comes across harsh Sometimes it is just the bounce of the ball. Excuse or not

The machinations of this process are more complex than most people realize.

People were ripping Wander Franco for signing a $200m deal yesterday. This is a 20 year old kid who can take care of his family for generations now. Hard to criticize that.

I don't know if that will make a difference to Story, but from the sounds of it the Rangers made a solid effort.

Yes and how much money do people need or think they do. Greed is also a factor.

I would be very happy with just a few million.

Re Owen White

This is the best Ranger SP prospects that come to mind. We will need offense for sure but if we get one SS and Suzuki it would be some very positive steps. This CBA is such a wild card on how things turn out
