No team is better positioned to strike in free agency due to the contracts in place and the revenue generation and yet AA is cycling mariners and angels cast offs to trim 250k off the budget.

Forgive me for not caring how you think I sound

All this because they wouldn’t give a DH a billion dollars? He’ll never pitch again. Not after two Tommy Johns.

He was a dodger lock. It’s the other moves we didn’t make like signing a legit starter rather than rolling Bryce elder out in any game that matters which it’s looking that way again. Our big move was an outfielder who whiffs 40 percent of the time

No it’s because the biggest FA contract we’ve given out since AA took over is $65M to Marcell Ozuna

First time here? Lol

We’ve accomplished most of our goals for the offseason (which still isn’t over) and we haven’t broken the bank or mortgaged the future to do it.

 

[GAVol]

And also, AA SORELY misjudged the future of baseball contracts. He wouldn't give Bryce Harper $330M/$26M AAV because it was absurd and too much. Now we are paying $27M AAV to Charlie Morton and Pierce Johnson. We just paid Marcell Ozuna and Eddie Rosario $25M last year. Juan Soto will go to market or sign with the Yankees for $500M with basically the same resume as Bryce. And now contracts are TOO BIG to pay anyone (according to him) when in 2019 he could have made a monster signing that now pales in comparison to baseball contracts in 2024. Part of your job as a GM is determining how the future of the sport looks. He totally miscalculated.

Amazing to think about, but everything you said is completely true.

Still a starter (or two) short and looking at 2025 without Fried or Morton.

 

[Regulator]

Still a starter (or two) short.

That’s why I said “most”. I’ll take our current staff over LA’s.

Is this honestly that scary?

Lux put a wRC+ of 114 on 2022, Outman put up a 118 wRC+ last year. Heyward/Taylor is a perfectly fine platoon. They’ll probably add another lefty bat.

That will go up significantly once the Dodgers trade for Cease and sign a couple dudes

 

[raw dog]

Only 16 more marginal moves until we get a dude!!!
