Contract info:

15-19:$20M annually

20:$14M

21:$15M club option ($4M buyout)

-Salaries for 2020 and 2021 may increase by $6M annually based on MVP votes, Gold Gloves, Silver Sluggers or All-Star selections award bonuses, including $25,000 each for Gold Glove, All Star

-$2M assignment bonus if traded

-May be traded only once during contract

I think he'll be rejuvenated if traded to a contender, but that won't guarantee that he'll stay healthy as he's logged a lot of time on the DL in his career. Given the hefty contract, I don't think it would take a top prospect like Bundy to get him. I've been waiting for Dan to make his "Pedro" type trade and this could be it...

Colorado is going to be asking for the farm, you wait and see. Somebody will likely overspend to get him, and DD isn't the type to overspend.

We have no one that they would accept. Except Manny.

The only way this works is to send Hardy's contract to them and then adding some prospects. Having said that, the Yankees would kick Gregorius to the curb in less time than it would take to pack up his locker. Ditto, the Red Sox and Bogaerts. I doubt the Dodgers are that attached to Rollins. They're all much more willing to mortgage their futures away. It would cost them less in prospects because they are able to eat Tulo's entire contract.

He wouldn't be coming here. We already have a shortstop.

JJ could be one of the pieces we would offer. He would save them $7M annually. Not sure if they would be interested, but JJ could have some value to them as a bridge for a couple years while they develop prospects.

Not sure, that is something that I would do, if I was DD.

Also, I believe they already have a guy in place ready to take over, which is why they are willing to trade him now.

We could offer a bunch of MLB talent. Norris, Matusz, and De Aza to start. Throw in Young and I don't see how they could refuse.

I don't see how the O's would match up. I guess maybe they could make a package centered around Bundy but it would be way too expensive.

      Mookie Betts has gotten more than 2/3 good years on his extension. Look at what Boston has been (and will most probably continue to be) since they traded him. Same for Bryce Harper with Philly (despite his injuries). I agree that for almost all longer term contracts, you will get diminishing returns toward the back end. But that’s the cost of doing business in modern day MLB. If Elias and Sig are as good at drafting and developing as they appear to be, by the time Gunnar and Adley begin to age/deteriorate, we should already have other players to help buffer them.  I just don’t think that it is in any way realistic to think that you can continue to replace “special” talent. Nor do I think that it is helpful for any orgs relationship with their fanbase to continue to operate on the cheap. It’s not like the fans will be given a discount if the org spends less money. The fans don’t benefit from an owner not spending, it’s the owners profit margin solely that benefits in that scenario.

      I’d be happier if we were actually having rain.

      Per usual......You can discount the words of perhaps the greatest Oriole of all time just to make internet drama.   I sir, will not.

      Maybe Brown can do a reprise this year for all his "fans" on the Hangout.

      Baseball relies so much on mental and technical abilities that it makes it hard to judge against the other big 4 sports of football, Bball, and hockey.  Which are much more reliant on pure size or physical athletic ability. I think of baseball very similar to the way I think about golf.  Both involve hitting a very small ball with oddly shaped clubs.  It is not so much about pure athletic ability as it is repetition and mental strength.   Of course in the end the best athletes in baseball do well, but how many great golfers are there at age 20, 21, 22, or even 23?  Not many.   It really requires mental toughness as much as anything and as a 20 year old that can be hard to come by without experience.

      Insufferable. The feigning of indignation that Ben McDonald couldn’t know who Blink-182 was stupid.
