We should sign Soto.  He's like 26 years old.  12/600. 50 a year wouldn't break the budget with Yordan being cheap for the next 4 years.  Tucker is gone in a year. Bregman is gone this year.  We don't have to pay Yainer for 5 years and then he will be gone like everyone else.  The point is we can afford him and he'd make us a lot better- and who gives a fuck if we suck 9 years from now.  WE should also sign Walker (4/80) and kikuchi- (3/48)

Lineup (166)

Aluve- 27M

Yordan- 17M

Tucker- 20M

Soto- 50M

Walker- 20M

Yainer- 1M

Chas/LHH OF- 10M

Pena- 5M

Dezenzo- 1M

Bench- 15M

 

Starters (70M)

Framber, Brown, Kikuchi, Arrighetti, Blanco, LMJ, Garcia, Javier

 

Bullpen- Trade Presley (30M)

Hader, Abreu, Scott, Whitley, who gives a fuck it's filler from the minors and left over starters

That's a 266M payroll and the best team in baseball.  Yeah- we are eating some money.  That money is all basically gone after this year. we will have about 100M coming off the board in 2025 and 2026 that isn't even being used other than Tucker and Framber.  Kikuchi replaces Framber and Soto replaces Tucker.  But, if you want to do the Soto, Walker and Kikuchi signings and Trade Tucker and Framber and get some real pieces back for them to build for your future, along with getting the payroll down I'm down with that as well.


Note- I don't expect any of this to happen- and certainly not all of it together- but I could see any of those 3 signings happen in an individual sense. I mean- Soto would be shocking but it would be cool.

Probably included the Astros in that Soto tweet just to trigger Yankee fans. Although, it would be extra sweet to sign him knowing they just ruined the Yankees season before it even starts.

Fuck yeah!

 

(Like you, I checked his position, and he's allegedly a LHRP)

You know Cleveland is kicking itself for letting us upgrade from Mushy to OK-ert

Edited by runthebone

Okert is the perfect addition to the bullpen. Likes to get K's, BB's, and HR's. Our organization's push to achieve optimum 3-true outcome pitchers rambles on.

smart hire

 

If the Pirates had made this move earlier, Cole would have never had to leave.

Also, Skenes is going to be really good now.

Probably, but those mounts and dismounts by Olivia Dunne may get him first. She is a gymnast you know.

You managed to find the ugliest pitcher of her on the internet, congrats?  

Yeah, that's a terrible picture of her, sorry that everyone can't meet your standards.

She’s absolutely gorgeous. That doesn’t show that imo. To each their own. 

You should really file a complaint with Sport's Illustrated, they obviously have no experience or no idea how to photograph beautiful women.

I am not good at that. I literally googled her name and hit images and they all look better than that. 
she’s absolutely stunning in casual pictures, performing, hair up. I have no idea what that one is about. Also, profile and backside is better. 

Hear me out....

If we let bregman walk we should trade for.....

It's from the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue that is very popular to most people that don't live in a cave. They are selling posters of that picture, I guess because it's such a bad picture. You need to get out more. You sound your a 100 years old.

Nothings happening of any importance before the winter meetings. 
best case scenario is re-sign Kikichi and Christian Walker and a good LHH platoon partner for Chas in the OF. 
more realistic is 1 quasi important bat and 1 middling arm and the team is again a little worse than it was the year before.

Right.

he’s the first domino.

nothing falls until he does

He really only effects the handful of teams that were trying to sign him though.  He's going to get so much more money than any other right fielder.

Thats my point- yes. This might be the rare instance where the market happens around/without that guy. That happened in the Harper, Machado class. It’s unusual but not unprecedented. 

Morosi is floating Willy Adames being a target to play 3rd if Bregman is gone (although he is gonna have numerous suitors).  

I wouldn't hate it.
