Still say I'd get on that if you can get them to eat some salary. Devers specifically is an upgrade on CW

The Giants have found virtually no suitors for any of Rafael Devers, Willy Adames or Matt Chapman, per @byJulianMack. Remaining on each contract after 2026:

Devers: 7 years, $199.5 million
Adames: 5 years, $155.7 million
Chapman: 4 years, $100.7 million pic.twitter.com/NZc1jed9w2

Buster Posey signed two of those. Woof.

Devers and Walker have been very similar players this year. Why would you want to essentially give Walker a contract extension and raise?

---

Look at their stats since May. CW looks washed. Devers has been hot since a really bad start. Plus one is 29 and the other is 35 with another year of likely increased washedness.

If we move Walker, Arizona makes the most sense. They need a first baseman, and he has a no trade clause so he would probably approve going there.

I don't think we're going to add any significant $. I don't think we're going to unload any significant money. I think we'll trade from pitching to land the "big fish" (relative term) and then lesser prospects for a "small fish" or multiple "small fish".

Agreed. And if you can get Duran to be a "small fish" in terms of cost and short-term value, adding someone else who has been better in the present...

wRC+ Splits - Where do we need to focus at the deadline

Position (Season Long / Last 30 Days)
C: 71 / 97
1B: 108 / 91
2B: 80 / 73
SS: 124 / 160
3B: 123 / 115
OF: 86 / 70
DH: 167 / 189

Platoon
vs LHP: 98
vs RHP: 106

Shockingly, we're a little better vs righties. Maybe a LHH isn't as critical. The 3 (5, really) positions of need are very obvious. We've talked a lot about OF and C, but is it time to consider giving Altuve a few more days off and adding another INF to spell him, besides Allen?

---

I have thought for a while that we have the wrong guy hitting as DH. If we have somebody who can play 2B and hit better than either of our corner OF, we should be DHing Altuve most nights and letting Yordan play LF. How does Allen or Shoemake looke compared to our corner OFers?

---

The Astros aren't going to play Yordan at LF enough to make this matter.

---

Yeah, they have made it abundantly clear they don't want him out there no matter how bad our outfielders are and how he has only been injured at the plate.

former players becoming general managers = not a good idea

Any chance we can orchestrate a Mark Stoops level revolt if that happens and get it reversed?

This time of year always reminds me of this story

Quote:

---

Right before the 1994 strike, Dave Winfield was traded to the Cleveland Indians for a player to be named later. No player was named before the strike started. To settle, the executives of the teams went to dinner, and Cleveland picked up the tab, meaning Winfield had been dealt for dinner.

Definitely some more energy walking around the stadium with the crowd then has been previous months

I'm not familiar with the McCourt Bankruptcy. Can anyone shed light on this?

The Dodgers aren’t special, they aren’t “the best run organization in baseball” They have a special deal from MLB that enables them to financially cheat and spend nearly twice what any other team could

All of the breathless complimenting of the Dodgers completely ignores that… https://t.co/yQoK2UzCok

As part of the bankruptcy MLB agreed to cap the amount of the TV deal that was subject to revenue sharing. Estimates are that it saves about $66M a year that would go to revenue sharing if they were treated like any other club.

I can add a bit to this as I worked most of my career in the regional sports tv business. The Dodgers benefit not only from the cap of rev share in their local TV deal, but also benefit from a local TV deal that is among the most recent to be signed (but before the collapse of the cable/satellite ecosystem became apparent). The Dodgers and a large cable company co-own the regional network. That deal also has a guarantee of payments to the Dodgers from the regional tv network (on top of the rights fees), guaranteed by partner that co-owns the network, regardless of actual network profit or loss.

The estimate is the Dodgers are getting around $225 to $250 million per year from their regional rights (including the tv network guaranteed payment). No other team is getting anything close to this amount and most have had to take a significant haircut on their rights fees recently as the former Fox regions (and others) went into bankruptcy.

the Dodgers deal still has many years on it so they have revenue certainty that other teams don't. The system was already broken, but the Dodgers deal has broken the system completely. And the fact that MLB gave the Dodgers the rev share shelter only exacerbates the utter imbalance.
