Triggerwarning Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 18 hours ago, mtutiger said: Realistically, the earliest they compete for a World Series is probably 2023, and Chris' comments may be a reflection of that. Overall, Chris' comment about providing Al/AJ the resources they think they need is a more aggressive posture than I can ever remember him taking. But now he needs to back it up.... That is not realistic at all actually. Unless Chris is going to start tossing out money like his daddy, there are to many holes on the roster even if they sign a top level SS.

chasfh Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I missed this the first time around—maybe you all knew this already—but I didn't realize the AJ got Manager of the Year votes: Sure, it's hardly any, but it's some. And it's the first time since 2011 that the manager of an American League team that finished under .500 during a full season got MoY votes.

ESPN took a survey of 20 major league executives, as to where each suspected the "hot commodity" shortstops will land. They said: Javy Baez: Mets 10, Astros 3, Rangers 3, Cubs 2, Mariners 2 Carlos Correa: Tigers 10, Rangers 6, Yankees 3, Astros 1 Corey Seager: Yankees 12, Tigers 4, Rangers 2, Dodgers 2 Marcus Semien: Mariners 8, Tigers 5, Rangers 4, Blue Jays 3 Trevor Story: Rangers 8, Tigers 5, Astros 3, Yankees 2, Mariners 2 I can't begin to tell everyone just how thrilled that I am, none of them projected Javy Baez coming to the D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Useful Idiot Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 They asked the same group: Which shortstop will get the biggest deal -- and for how much? Carlos Correa (unanimous) -- Average answer: 10 years, $304 million This was a unanimous choice, perhaps because he's the youngest of the group. Though he's had some injuries, voters overlooked any of those issues while offering up huge contract numbers. The highest was $350 million over 12 years, while the lowest came in at eight years, $250 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalTiger Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I just read that Boras wants 200 million for Semien. Wow. After listening to Al and Ilitch yesterday during the press conference I think we are down to Baez, Story and Taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little surprised at the vote for Baez returning to the Mets, both because he's going to be very expensive for a 2B, and because you'd think Javy would rather go where he can play short.

Motor City Sonics Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Imagine being an Orioles fan and your team has done nothing for years and they are not even mentioned in any possible trades or free agents. i guess we were there the last few years, but it seems like the orioles never even try anymore. Some kid steals a home run ball and Yankee Stadium and they just quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
