Buehler's NLCS and WS starts were good, but he still missed almost two full years with injury and his full season numbers after coming back were not good at all. It takes a lot of faith that he's going to return to form to justify signing him, and if they were going to commit to a big money pitcher coming off injury they could've just kept Chris Sale (and Sale is better than Buehler ever was).

I don't like it at all. Let the Yankees take that risk, I'm good with targeting Fried/Burnes.
 
Hey, we've got a hot prospect who slots in best at 2B, and existing 3B who defensively sucks and is better off converting to 1B or DH, let's sign a declining bat who is still a very strong defensive 3B and then put him at 2B to block the prospect and keep a poor defender at the hot corner.

Full throttle is back and it's back big!
 
Buehlers been a legit ace, he had TJS that he worked back slowly from then lit it up his last couple outings deep in the playoffs

It’s disingenuous to act like he’s not a good pitcher. I would love to add Walker Buehler. Another arm on top of that is preferable though

If you're entering the bidding for Juan Soto, especially when the Mets and Yankees are involved you should be willing to match the highest offer or just not bother. They were 8% off the biggest off the biggest contract in baseball history. They didn't even make themselves an option for Soto at the end.

Same re run every year. Same result

If we can get him on a good deal, roll the dice.
He has the potential IF he comes back to be a solid number 2.
He was unhittable in the NLCS and WS.
47-22 record, 3.27 ERA.... less than 1000 innings pitched, throw him a bone.

"Yes, we want Bregman. But how can we fit him on the squad without actually improving defensively"
"Let's just put him at 2B and keep everything else as is"

This would be a strong contender for worst move of the year.

Sign Bregman - he plays 3B
Sign Teoscar or Santander
Trade Yoshida for .10 cents on the dollar
Devers moves to DH

Duran - left
Bregman - right
Raffy - left
Teoscar/Santander- right
Casas - left
Abreu - left
Story - right
Wong - right
Campbell/Grissom

We have 7 players that could hit 20 HR or more in this lineup / 3 that could hit 30 plus.
Defense is vastly improved with Bregman at 3B, Story hopefully healthy at SS.

Extras
Rafaela
Gonzo
Refsynder
Catcher - TBA
 
I always felt bad for Rusney. He wasn't the superstar they thought they were getting but he still could've been a good middle of the order bat for an average team during the duration of his contract, but because of his pay structure he was stuck in AAA.

Miller and Woo are the cornerstone of their rotation, both young, controlled until 2030.
It would take much more than Casas to get one of them.
I wonder if the ChiSox feel the same way about Casas as part of an offer for Crochet?
We might have to include someone like Mayer in the deal?
Pitching is at a premium.

The White Sox want Casas, Abreu, plus prospects.
