im not confident in giving him $250M

Mets have been talking to the Rockies about Tulo.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Bud Selig's pension is $6 million annually. Jesus fucking christ.

 

[elcheato]

Can he donate 20K of that annually to me?

Bud Selig's pension is $6 million annually. Jesus fucking christ.

that's what's wrong with this country

im not confident in giving him $250M

Bowden said he doesn't think anyone is going to offer him more than the $144M we offered or something like that. He certainly isn't getting anything close to $250M from us lol.

 

[Pugz]

we spent enough on a pitching staff that isn't going to win us a world series.

 

[RipCity32]

Well neither is the current staff lol.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Nobody wants no part of Scherzer and his fantasy payday right now lol.

 

[RipCity32]

He's really out of his mind if he thinks he's gonna command more than a Lester-type deal lol.

 

[snipezo]

He's a boras client, no? He'll get it lol

 

[RipCity32]

Think if he was gonna get it he would've by now. Teams realize he is a flawed pitcher, regardless of how good he is.

pretty much. the longer he holds out the less he gets too, imo

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah, unless a team goes nuts late into the off-season like we did with Prince a couple years back lol. 

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Not bad snagging David Carpenter

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Orioles got JP Arencibia. It's over....

 

[snipezo]

He'll probably end up getting a lot of ab's





In triple a.

If the price is right, all for it. Would certainly be a MUCH cheaper alternative to Scherzer.

 

[Pugz]

and would maybe make it easier for us to retain price.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah maybe so.
I really don't even think the talent level is much different between the two. Max is younger and will strike out batters a lot more, but their ERA and WHIP were pretty much identical last year. James will probably go deeper into games too, which will help the bullpen.
