6 years at $150 MM would be a paycut for Bregman -- currently making $30 MM per season
he's not going to take that in his early 30's

As much as Bregman has slowed down on the basepaths already, by the time he's 37 he'll be running backwards.Farmer1906 said:Fair question.SpaceCityAg05 said:
The question is whether WE should want to do 6/150 for Bregman, even if he were willing to accept it.
Unlike Altuve, I have real concerns about how Bregman will age.
This would be Bregman age 31-36/37. We just paid Altuve for 35-39.
I do think his eye will age well so the built-in high OBP should keep his floor high.
Feels so good, feelin' good again.

6/$150m is an auto yes for me. There isn't a better proven 3B available at $25M/year
Jose Ramirez? He's only making like 20 per.
Also, Austin Riley is getting like 21 but he got 10 years early.
None of those guys are available
I think 6/$180 is the right number. If someone wants to pay more or longer they can have him.W said:

The models love us this season. They don't feel the same about the rest of the competitors of the AL West.
Late to the party, as usual, so a thousand ****ing pardons if this has already been discussed, but why so little love for the arlingtons? I hope this is how it plays out truly I do, but I'd think there'd be a little momentum on the mid-cities nine.
Their pitching is pretty bad right now. They really need to sign Monty
deGrom and Scherzer are both out until summer.

Call it run prevention.
It's more than lack of pitching. Basically they had their whole team of position players have career years for 4 months of the season. All at once. They are ripe for a regression.
They overachieved last year and haven't improved.
Resigning Monty would help tremendously. I honestly don't know why they haven't.

The mascot on the dugout at about the :50 mark doing the crane kick.
doesn't really matter at this point when all the bull**** has already been shouted from the rooftops for so many years. This is like him whispering it to himself inside an empty bathroom stall. Unfortunately the damage has already been done to Tuve'. Hopefully, when the time comes for the HOF the writers and everyone else actually use there brain and not the b.s. bias they have ingrained in them overtake them.bearkatag15 said:Well well well Jon Heyman...

Sadly I don't trust the blowhards in the BBWAA. Worthless trash.
The more we get these public acknowledgments of him not cheating and the more we get people referencing him as a future HOFer the better the odds are of him getting in and getting in early.

Tacoma's Jose Godoy and Brian Schlitter and Aces reliever Chester Pimente also were ejected. The Aces moved to 6-1 this season when a player or coach is ejected, and 1-0 when multiple Aces are ejected.
Feels so good, feelin' good again.
His swing is so beautiful. Even at half-effort, the ball jumps off his bat.
Would JV want a 6-man rotation? How important is 300 wins to him?
The ball just explodes off his bat. He squares everything up.
Looks like Yordan inked a deal with Nike.

Throughout the video, fans get a glimpse of Alvarez strolling through the offices at Nike HQ. Even better, there are brief moments showing Alvarez working with the design team on custom batting gloves, fielding gloves, and footwear.

Bad day to be a batting cage net.
He has been at different times with us the last 2 seasons. I am sure 300 is very important but I think there is an argument he's more likely to reach 300 pitching fewer starts a season than more. I know that is counterintuitive, but pitching well (less worn down in Aug/Sept) and staying healthy may be his best path.
He has 43 to go. Odds are he's not making it unless he pitches into his 43-44 range.

There is no one anywhere close to Bregman available. The class is terrible outside of Breggy.
You either need to sign Chapman now and move Bregman, find a trade (no idea what could work) for next year, or go intenral. I think internal (Dezenzo) is the most likely option.Quote:
Third Basemen
Alex Bregman (31)
J.D. Davis (32)
Hunter Dozier (33)
Matt Duffy (34)
Yoan Moncada (30) $25MM club option with a $5MM buyout
Jace Peterson (35)
Jean Segura (35) $10MM club option with a $2MM buyout
Eugenio Suarez (33) $15MM club option with a $2MM buyout
If you could ONLY extend one and they'd for sure take it, who would it be
Tucker or Bregman
Emotionally = Bregman
Baseball wise = Tucker
I'd lean Tucker due to age, health, and production

More from Rob Manfred:
— Evan Drellich (@EvanDrellich) February 9, 2024
• How the Mets and Padres' big winters last year influence his view of the Dodgers' spending this year
• Why RSN turmoil could hold up expansion
• And one reply sure made it sound like Manfred plans for this term to be his last https://t.co/LO3IaMEPIY
Please oh please let this be the end of Manfred's ruining of baseball
Some additional context on this deal, per source: The fifth year is a player option for $6 million. If RodrÃguez declines the player option, the Jays can exercise a club option for $10 million for the fifth year. https://t.co/sQDlgzUQPP
