moved to Arizona...and signs with Toronto (Canada)

something went very, very wrong

he needs to take a 1-year deal and reenter the market next season
Not just that but they have spring training in Florida rather than Arizona.


But if the offers are 8/200 in TOR or 6/165 in DET, which one are you doing?


If he gets 8/200 out of TOR I may do a poop slap. Thats just not happening. 6/165 from Detroit would be hilarious given he could have gotten that here.

He's played this so so badly.

I'm here for one more title (25-27) and then let it all burn. Is there a limit to how many comp picks you can get in a single offseason. Because I may scenario you offer the qualifying offer to Paredes, Donovan, Javier, & possibly even Pena. Could you imagine the work that could be done with an extra 3-4 draft picks? Then you trade Yordan before his last year too and grab a few more prospects. Suck for 28, 29 then the young kids all hit in 30 and you go sign a bunch of top tier vets. The run starts all over again.
I know that this comes from a business and future perspective...but damn I do not want to lose Yordan. Obviously, injury concerns may change my mind in a year or two, but if he stays healthy I would love to see him continue his pace for GOAT status

400k higher than projection. I know that's not a lot but it matters when you're as close to the tax line as we are.

$5M for Dubon seems crazy to me

I guess it's his versatility

Hell I feel like $5M is damn near the league minimum these days.

We've come a long way from the screaming for Doobie to start every day posts in this thread, which I recall were May 2024 give or take

Spot on to the projection from baseball ref



100K up for Chas and 275k down for Pardes.

That nets out to 225K over estimates.

Glad to see these arbitration cases finishing up. Don't want a lot of those hanging out there.

Who are the actual arbitors in a player/club arbitration? I'd like to think of them as looking like the Time Keepers from Loki.

300K under estimate for Pena. Net is only 25K up (nothing).

I want to know how much the bonus is if he lays off the slider in a bases loaded 3-2 situation

He needs to go full Biggio and get up on the plate. Take the HBPs to cover the outside corner.

Holy crap the money he left on the table.

Being a pure DH limits his top end earning potential, but if Stanton could get a ridiculous contract I'm sure Yordan would've. Whether or not it makes perfect baseball sense I really want us to give him a second contract. Need a star on the team to bridge the post-Altuve era.
MaxPower

Are teams doing that Stanton deal now? I'm not so certain. Also he was 25 (younger) and was still an everyday OF (even if not a good one). Seems like David Ortiz is a better comp.

Soto would be the closer comp. But no one will be giving Yordan anywhere close to the money Soto got.

Yordan plays in Houston and Soto played on the East and West coasts and for NYY.

Under projection. We're now on the favorable side of the projection vs actual.
