If there is one thing we have it is OF prospects in the upper minors.  We could trade Machado for Yelich and then watch Jeter turn around and trade him to the NYY. 

Or he could just trade Yelich somewhere for more than NY would give for Manny.

That would seem to be the much smarter move right?

I'm not sure.  I haven't been following other teams too much this offseason.  It does seem like Manny is the guy the Yanks want and they are going to have to go through another team to get him.  The Yankees seem to be set in the OF.  So Yelich isn't a fit?  I'm not sure. 

Is two years of Yelich worth one of Manny?

Why does it seem that way?

Could it just be the old New York Bias coming into play?

Yes, I'm sure the Yanks would love Manny on their team, every team would love a player of Manny's skill. 

 

I also didn't say anything about the Marlins trading Yelich to the Yankees.  I said that the Marlins could trade Yelich to a team for more than the Yankees would give them for Manny.

Chen has 3/60 left and hoping PRP saves him from TJ.  We want a left-handed starter.

Assuming Hays doesn't get RF to start season, we have a RF opening and prefer a left-handed hitter for line up balance.

If Chen's worthless, does Yelich have more than $60M surplus value?

If the Marlins are trying to cut salaries, why would they trade Yelich for Manny.  One of the things that makes Yelich attractive is he's got a reasonable long-term contract.  If they trade him, they'll want prospects, and the O's are not in a good position to trade prospects.  I could see a team like Atlanta making a big push for Yelich - especially if they can find someone to take the last year of Markakis' contract.

You think Ownership would approve that deal?

That would be foolish to waste the value of Yelich by packaging him with Chen. 

Miami would be foolish to trade Yelich in general though. I guess if their rebuild is going to take 5-7 years it makes some sense.

It depends on how brazen the Marlins new owners are.  I heard Buster Olney's Baseball Tonight podcast on ESPN over the weekend, and they were kicking the can on do the Marlins want to get to Charlotte or Portland, and would they play a AAA team for a couple years to demonstrate Miami's a bad market.  I don't think that's the case, but was just conjecturing in that vein.

If you count Chen's commitment as part of Yelich's compensation, it'd be like having Yelich for 4/$103.  That feels about right - the AAV's maybe a little high, but the shorter term's advantageous.

I would hate to think the local government down there spent a billion in taxpayer money for a new stadium and didn't bind them up in a strong lease.

I dont trust they do.

They gave Loria a sweetheart deal and they didnt even have the money, so they borrow the billions on long term bonds, when they come do, the city will be hurting.

Talk about a loanshark deal. SMH

Quote

The Miami Herald does the math on just one set of those bonds, which raised $91 million. Payments begin in 2026, and quickly skyrocket. By 2048, when the last payment is due, the total reaches $1.18 billion

      No one is trading anything close to that for Crochet. But I agree..spend money, not prospects.

      Trade Target - Jose Quintana

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      That's some high standards.  Sinker ball types are always going to have higher FIPs and lower K rates.  The truth is, Quintana is probably out of our price range.  That price range is probably no more than the standard Lyles/Gibson/Kimbrel/Frazier price range until otherwise seen.   Back to Quintana, I think he's the type of guy that if healthy could be a real weapon for us with our home ballpark and a home playoff game if we ever get deep into a series.

      Austin Hays Appreciation Thread

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      That's really the role/opening for next year that we need.  A RHH OF that could play some CF preferably.  Although, I'd lean more to and offensive minded portion of that versus the ability to play CF.  LF is big though at home. I think it's a role that Elias fills through trade, waivers, or maybe even a competition of milb deal types.  Like a RH Sam Hilliard type.

      Yeah, he would be good in the Austin Slater role if he was willing to accept it. Not sure that he would be quite as good defensively in CF, given that he has played fewer than 100 innings total in CF since 2021. I highly doubt that he is ready to accept a role as a platoon player though, given that he is not yet 30, and he was an above average starter by rWAR from 2021-23. I doubt he is tendered a contract, given his $6M 2024 salary. His best bet is probably to sign a one year deal with a team that doesn't hope to compete, to attempt to reestablish himself as an everyday player, while the team that signs him can hope to flip him at the trade deadline.

      I agree. He’d be a great regular season fit in Cinncy’s ballpark. Maybe that confidence of knowing he can hit the ball out to LF at home covers up his other decencies.  As for Crochet… can’t we just resign Burnes?  Crochet would probably cost Holliday, Basallo, and Mayo. Didn’t the deadline teach us the cost of pitching? I’m for trading Mountcastle. I’d hope we can surround the young hitters with a Burnes led staff with adding a vet bat to the DH/1B mix. Other than that, I think we will roll with what we have. And we should.

      Hays will want to start somewhere. He shouldn't start for us. We don't want him sitting on the bench looking dejected while Kjerstad and Cowser are mashing bombs onto Eutaw Street.
