AnythingO's

What a joke that he could say that when Coolbaugh said they only talked twice. After the year he had in 2017, if that counts for extra offseason work in his mind then he is delusional.

I suppose Boras could try that but Trumbo is a better 1B now and Mancini is a better DH now. There is no reason to believe Davis will improve next year to justify playing time. There is no basis for Davis playing ahead of them except for Buck. Buck is the reason both Trumbo and Davis are on the team and that forces Mancini to learn OF at the MLB level. It's just wrong. Trumbo only has 1 more year. Tell Mountcastle to learn 1b. Mountcastle and Mancini are the future until someone better comes along. I'm too emotional about Davis to be rational so I'm going to bow out now. Sorry Weams.

He would have a $5 M/yr annuity for 22 years, be free to go to any team that would have him, and potentially make more money. If not he is a bench here warmer suffering humiliation for 4 years. Those are pretty strong motivations to me.

I want Davis off the team any way it can be done. None of the options work for me so I'm Other, I guess. Weams says no buyouts but I'm not reducing what he is owed. Isn't it still a buyout if you add the $92 M to the deferred money and negotiate a longer payout period. Maybe a structured settlement? Adding both pots of money together is $110 M, pay $5 M/yr for 22 years, just get him the hell off the roster. If he refuses, park him on the bench, never to see the field, he is a Rule 5 player.

People were speculating at least $3.5 M for VVM back when NYY were accumulating additional slot $$. Miami still has almost $4 M I think and a natural fit with their Cuban community. IMO we would need to go $4.5 M, maybe higher, to get VVM. Maybe also sign his brother for $500 K so that is probably $5 M needed conservatively. Then there is the pitcher who Miami had a $2 M offer to but pulled because reportedly a failed drug test. Maybe $1.5 M for him and you have 3 new top Cuban prospects, at least 1 of which is top 100 immediately. Gausman was traded for slot money, to dump salary, and a lottery ticket.

Exactly, I have a similar story. My nephews GF is a chef. She put on a wine tasting with 5 food stations from around the world, 4 bottles per station so 20 "tastings". Me, I'm a Natty Boh kinda guy. So end of the night she passes around a survey asking all to rank the wines at each station from most expensive to least. Everyone else was a wine person. I scored 20 for 20 and won the hand painted wine glass and promptly filled it with Natty Boh. The wine snobs were not amused. lol

They are deferring $6MM so that's $42 MM, in a pot to be paid on some future schedule. Why not just add the remaining $68 MM (after this year) to that pot and agree on a payout schedule between $3-4 MM per year for the next 30 years to just go away? Buck would never agree but maybe PA is losing faith in Buck based on the performance of Buck's choices.

Unless we trade him to Detroit for Zimmerman, hahaha.

With that in mind, the Mets need a 1B and another bat having moved Duda and Bruce and with other player injuries. They will have their big 4 SP back next year and have other back end SP options. So Trumbo to NYM with someone like Wright (maybe some $$) for Zack Wheeler. Limited to 80+ innings this first year back from TJ and on the DL with arm strain. Prior to TJ had about 350 innings at mid-3 ERA. Would be 28 next year. Give him this year's Bundy treatment next year.

I don't know if the payment will go thru if you don't "confirm" because I did confirm.

With the "create account" option you get to setup paying with a credit or debit card but then it also wants an email address and password and sets up a new PayPal account for you. Then you get an email to confirm the new account. At least that's what it did to me.

Yeah I know it wasn't connected and Marv played in between but I blamed Blog anyway when.my.bero went away. Didn't matter that Jim's performance fell.off.tbe table. But then I came to love Blog,.live and.learn.

OK you two are testing me so maybe you're a few years older but I remember when some kid namedBrooks came up in 1958 and was pissed when Blog moved from left field to first base because I blamed him for Diamond Jim getting moved. I was also pissed when Pappas was traded for that Robinson guy. Oh well, stats on damned. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
