RutgersJetFan Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 What the Dodgers are doing is so lame. If the Mets were doing it I'd think it was awesome but seriously it's really lame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirorob Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 12 year contract for a guy who has never pitched in MLB. Could be a great move, in another few years 27 million a year could be outright cheap for a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the fact that they got him so young, that never happens with American players, especially pitchers. Risk/reward standpoint given his age is well worth it. Even if he turns out to be a #2 or 3 as the years go by it’ll even out as a contract. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather give that money to a 26 year old then 200 million to DeGrom or 130 to Scherzer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to have to be fixed via trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I’m afraid to think what the Mets starting rotation is going to look like next year. I’ll panic when the spring hits. I think they’ll pay at least one someone (Giolito?) and then wait to see how Vasil and Tidwell look in St Lucie. There’s no way they can roll into the season with Senga-Quintana as their 1-2 punch. I love Senga, the guy pitched like an ace down the stretch but the rest of the rotation is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neckdemon Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 There's a reason baseball has been regressing as a sport in America. It's stupid to have a sport where 1 team can spend on 1 player what another team spends on its entire roster.

It's something like 4 or 5 out of the last 10 WS champs weren't even top 10 in payroll. Best thing about baseball is that there are at least 5-6 different ways to build a championship ball club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsis Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 That bullsh*t backdated othani contract is an absolute disgrace. The Yankees not offering 330/12 when they heard it was 325 is a disgrace. The Yankees going this long without a series and keeping Cashman is a disgrace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotation is mediocre aside from Cole(who has an opt out coming after next. season). No closer. We just traded King and assets for Soto - ok fine but I thought we were getting Yamamoto Cashman sucks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game’s in a great place. Baseball went from the most popular sport in the country to 3rd. There's a reason for that. I and a lot of other people find it hard to watch. Obviously you like it. But the truth is it fell 2 spots for a reason. Without looking it up I'd assume the lack of a salary cap and parity in the league is the biggest factor. This BS with the dodgers spending a billion on 2 players likely wont help. Imo and many others baseball kinda sucks now and has for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandy Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 He turned down front loaded higher aav from the Yankees with an earlier opt-out to be a sidekick. Crazy. I originally wanted him on the Mets, but wow he has no dawg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No salary cap ruined it I think the bigger issue with baseball right now is likability of it’s biggest stars. The late 90’s/early 2000’s you had the steroid guys like McGwire, Sosa, Arod, Big Papi - they were larger than life figures who were also the league’s best players. Jeter was also larger than life and the women were going crazy over him. There really isn’t anything like that now the two biggest stars are Aaron Judge who is always hurt and Jose Altuve a cheating midget Ohtani is a huge star but the guy doesn’t speak English which inhibits his ability for his fame to extend beyond baseball plus he’s played on bad teams tho that is changing next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
