I saw the same scenario as I was going through the pearly gates. Maybe I was going through hell . Probably just a bad dream. Oh wellBig_Maple wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2025 1:04 amAgree - it's a simple recipe.
DFA Haniger. Eat the money for a year.
Go hard for Bregman - make it the one, big signing the M's do - they missed out on lots of big names the last 5 years. Suck it up and go big or go home.
Trade for Vlad. Two prospects. Offer an extension. Olson got 8 years and $168MM.. Do 5 years and $150MM with options.
They can keep Castillo and have a fearsome rotation.

Re: Runaway Imagination
I don't know how optimistic I could be if he said no to Houston at 156Million. That is turning down what was probably 6 X 26M for a guy that is coming off a good but not great year with 4.1 WAR with good D. But he only hit for a 117 OPS+ and is 5 years removed from 2 Allstar and top 5 MVP years. I don't know if someone is going to top that. I could be wrong, a similar player would have been SF signing Chappman to 169M.

I have a strong feeling that Tattoo's physical stature was a good metaphor for Justin Hollander's level of Power within the FO.Bil522 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2025 8:06 amWas that Justin Hollander ringing the bell and yelling De Solano!

Re: Runaway Imagination
Bregman sucks in T-mobile. There is no way he would sign here unless it was overwhelmingly his best offer. And honestly I am not sure I would want him.
He has a .725 OPS at T-mobile park. Do you want to spend 25-30 Million a year for that?

Re: Runaway Imagination
M's pitching has be 9th at home in ERA during his career so probably lower than I was expect but no a lot lower....Age is the bigger factor not to mention I despise the guy for some reason. lolCaptain 97 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2025 4:37 pmBregman sucks in T-mobile.
