Unknøwn Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Rodriguez got an opt out in the deal. He can leave after year two if Detroit isn't headed in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K26dp Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 On 11/11/2021 at 8:48 PM, Unknøwn said: From the sounds of it, it's your total career WAR that would matter instead of 1 year. Looking at WAR would help guys who are stronger with the glove. The arbitration process typically looks at batting stats more than anything. Having WAR would help those guys who aren't as strong offensively get more value. The union is said to not be thrilled by the offer though. Can you imagine Austin Riley losing a couple of million dollars because of a difference between UZR vs DRS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kingfish Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Former Braves infielder Julio Lugo has died at age 45. He was involved in the controversial play that ended the July 26, 2011 game that went 19 innings against the Pirates when home plate umpire Jerry Meals called him safe on a tag play that showed he was clearly out.

Matt Ryans Gold Jacket Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Freddie turns down 5yr $135M, says he’s seeking closer to $200M 6yr there about. Trying to match or beat the Votto deal. As long as Freddie can get around 25-30 WAR those 6 years, it would be worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Former Angels GM Billy Eppler has been offered the Mets GM job. Eppler was the GM that acquired Ohtani as well as Justin Upton and Andrelton Simmons. He just never could put a complete roster together in Anaheim. He was in NY before going to LA. He served as scouting director and then assistant GM for Cashman and the Yankees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say goofed. They took the certainty. Look at Soroka, a couple of years ago if he signed for $35M people would have said he was crazy. You just never know what's going to happen.

Unknøwn Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 Mets and Billy Eppler are said to be near an agreement. There's some speculation that Eppler may bring in Brad Ausmus as Mets manager. Eppler hired Ausmus in LA but the owner pushed him out after 1 year to hire Joe Maddon.

The November 17 deadline is just to accept or reject the offer of 1 year for $18.4M. The only window of exclusive rights is the 5 days following the end of the World Series. In those 5 days nobody can contact you but your current team. Once those 5 days are over you're free to talk and sign with anyone.

Perry takes AA's one-year contract strategy to the next level. Guessing this was somewhat like Will Smith's negotiations from two years ago -- make your best offers now or I'll take the QO.

Unknøwn Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 Mets rotation is suddenly in complete ruin. deGrom was out half the season, Carrasco had an ERA over 6 when healthy. Walker was absolutely terrible after the ASG. He had an ERA over 7 after mid July. That's your top 3 Met starters right now. Peter Gammons was saying Syndergaard had 3 offers of at least $21M. One was supposedly almost $25M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has the personality that will keep him from folding in the big lights of those 2 major markets. I really don't think Freddie is going to be back. We should have signed him to an extension 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
