OT: 2023 MLB Thread

[bleedblue94]

The Boss was still around in 2005. If he were still around now, the team would have a $400M+ payroll.

The boss is now reincarnated in queens

I wonder how George would have handled twitter.

Mad Dog Russo on Sid Rosenberg Friday ( best show am on the radio btw )
- Rodon 53 wins + injuries 160 million huge risk
- Torres not a good player
- The catcher Trevino faded bigtime down the stretch - potentially a huge issue .
- Judge doesn’t produce in post season and struggles v top pitching.
-nobody wants hicks nobody wants donaldson that’s a Yankee fans pipe dream
- lamuhieu and awful contract no position
- The Yankees did not lose anything because of pitching last year so Redon doesn’t do much. The Yankees needed a massive upgrade hitting wise and they have not done it yet again.
- watch out for Baltimore getting off to a rocket start

Benitendi was a must.

Now they're going to over compensate and get another highK HR hitter who is decent in the regular season and cant do shit in the postseason

Yup. Massive blunder to not lock him up for the number he got in Chicago.

Reynolds Pittsburgh is the target .
I might have seen him once ?

 

[Machinehead]

LeMahieu's position is third base.

Donldson can handle water duties.

 

[sbjnyc]

Meanwhile the Mets couldn't hit in September or October and are just letting it ride.

Who's left? Best free agent at each position

Sure, most of the top free agents have been signed, including Aaron Judge returning to the Yankees and Jacob deGrom heading to the Rangers. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t several gems remaining on the open market for teams to snatch up. Here’s a look at the best free agents

[GoAwayPanarin]

5 years for Benintendi is probably 2 years too long and they've already handed out 2 deals this winter which are not going to end well.

I am A OK with them giving Cabrera a legit look out there to see what he can do at this level.

Plus not all of IKF/Gleyber/DJL are going to be back next year. Corner OF help will be acquired via trade and honestly, there are a bunch of pretty good ones available.

LeMahieu's position is third base.

Donldson can handle water duties.

I don't know that LeMahieu can make that throw anymore.

 

[Machinehead]

I don't know that LeMahieu can make that throw anymore.

He didn't die.

I think LeMahieu has more in the tank than he's being given credit for. He just needed to not rush back which he didn't.

With the bat I 100% agree.

He f'd up his arm pretty good not too long ago and it wasn't a great arm to begin with. If hes playing in the field, he should really be limited to the right side of the infield.

If they do nothing else to the roster, they should just let IKF play 3rd as hes more of a "contact" type that some people like and hes won a GG at the position (though I'd like to point out that for all his faults, Donaldson can still play the f*** out of 3rd base. No this isn't an endorsement of the player, just the facts.)

 

[JimmyG89]

Kid is going to push for a spot on the roster this year, either in spring or in the season.

Him getting some reps at 3rd is good too. That's where he could end up. Him or Baty will be at 3rd for this team for the long term.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Bye Lugo. Welcome back Ottavino!

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Wrong thread

 

[Gordon Bombay]

Source: Correa changes course, agrees with Mets

In a stunning turn, shortstop Carlos Correa has agreed with the Mets on a 12-year, $315 million deal, eschewing a previous agreement with the Giants, a source confirmed.

www.espn.com

Correa will go to 3rd. Can Baty play 1st?

 

[IronBloodedLion]

Cohen is going to cause a work stoppage in a few years.

 

[Bob Richards]

Oh my god

 

[nyr2k2]

What the actual f*** is going on

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Cohen is going to cause a work stoppage in a few years.

How

 

[NYR94]

So first Jon Heyman says Aaron Judge to San Francisco and now this. Fee bad for Giants fans.

 

[Bob Richards]

Just a few years ago we were joking that the Mets big acquisition would be one of their own relief pitchers coming back from the DL mid season lol.

 

[NYR94]

 

[Crease]

Wonder what medical concern SF had and why the Mets don't share that concern. Or is that smoke and mirrors because Correa signaled he had a change of heart? In any event, Steve Cohen is just laughing at the rest of MLB right now. Wow.
