Tigermojo Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Mlbtraderumors had estimated 6 years $138 million. They thought 6 years might be a stretch since he's 31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 14 hours ago, Jim Cowan said: His Mets career, one third of a season, was completely unlike his Cubs career: he got on base. His OBP was .371, he had never even done .330 for a full season before. He cut way back on his strikeouts...still more than one per game but just barely. So, who knows? He sucked big time in 2020, bounced back a little bit during his Cubs tenure in 2021, and then some kind of transformation happened with the Mets. Is it significant? Or just small sample size? baez is very streaky. he had a lousy august with the mets and a great september. he didnt change his approach, he just ran into a few more fastballs. baez's 2022 bbref projection: 254/304/462 he's 29. he is who he is at this point. he's better than what we have. he'll be a very frustrating player who will have great highs and low lows. he'll make great plays and then dog it a bunch. that's the way he always was with the cubs. but he will hit some home runs and he will run the bases well and he will provide some flash in the field and he is better than what the tigers have and he'll be cheaper than correa or seager. if youre ok with that for $20-$30 million over 6-8 years, that's what you'll get.

RandyMarsh Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 BTW the Twins resigned Buxton to a 7yr 100 million dollar extension. That is a fabulous deal for them imo. It buys out 1 year of arb so they essentially got him for like 6/85ish extension. I know he has had an injury history but boy when he is on the field he is arguably a top 5 player in all of baseball. Last year he put up over 4 wins in just 62 games. That's over a 10 WAR for a full season. The covid shortened year he was on a 6 WAR pace. I think if he would've waited till FA he would've had no problem getting 6/85 as a 5 tool CFer entering his prime who happens to be the best defensive CFer in baseball.

mtutiger Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Now I'm wondering about Story... it seemed like people in the area were naturally connecting him with the Rangers because he's from Irving. This upends that some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I mean if you're in the "anti tank" crowd and want less terrible teams throughout the league you have to be happy with this Rangers and Semien deal. The Rangers by all accounts are still atleast a few years away from being serious competitors even with a Semien like deal yet they still went out and threw big money at a 31 year old SS. This definitely goes against all the moves in recent history that MLB clubs have made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is that as reviled as that contract was at the time, ARod paid off on it for the whole 10 yrs it would have been in force (Technically it ended after 7 when the Yankees bought out the last 3 yrs with a new deal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
