Buck is going to want to sign Trumbo long term

[Phantom]

I'd really have to think about it and be sure that the budget would allow for him accepting.

I think he might very well accept it.

17 million is almost doubling his career earnings.

I doubt he will. Even if he can get 3 for 30, I think he'll walk. Still, when the best case is a pick and the worst case is a slight overpay for Trumbo, I'll take it.

I might, but I had to be privy to a lot more information before making the decision.

Except that one, or maybe two, one year free agent make good contracts that turn out well.

Two problems:

Figuring out which one of the ten guys is going to hit.

Convincing them to play in Baltimore.

Neither of which are in any way plausible.

Trumbo is going to lead the league in home runs for a World Champion team. He'll get 50 million.

I'm okay with all of this.

Right.

But it is easy enough to say in July, "Why didn't we sign that guy?" "He would really have helped us."

If Trumbo keeps this pace or even close to it up, there is a 0.0 chance he even thinks about a QO much less accepts it. He will probably get 4x that on the market.

If you look at his history, when he plays full time, he produces.

If you look at his history, he's a two win player (rounding up).

I don't see anyone giving a 31 year old DH 4/68.

I was more concerned with his elbow and maybe TJ at some point, since it looks like all pitchers are heading that way.

Dickey was born without the UCL in his right elbow. He'll never need TJ.

Well, he has none. It is unknown if he ever did.

He'll turn down the QO, IMO. Unless he completely goes in the tank for the remainder of the season, he'll get a 3 or 4 year contract. My guess is 3/45 or 4/60. At minimum, I can't see him getting less than 3/36 or 4/48. That's still good enough to walk away from 1/17.

[atomic]

Does the QO offer amount increase for next season, or are we still around the 15.8 mil range?

There isn't a union contract for next season. Who knows if that will even exist.

Wow, did not know that, thanks.

If he has a career year he'll get 4 years and close to 17 M AAV. If he doesn't put up decent numbers the rest of the way then no, don't make the QO.

It's too weird to forget after you hear about it.
