Cole has been one of the most durable pitchers around…Boras isn’t playing shit. 2 weeks from opening day and one CY Young client has not chance to repeat, another SP on his first big contract is shitting his pants, a DH who has to be wondering where his last paycheck is coming from and a couple of other clients who blinked.,,
It all depends upon where they end up and what they get paid. They are all millionaires already so they aren't hurting for a paycheck. If Snell waits until the trade deadline and someone makes a move to win a World Series or salvage their season, I'm sure it's going to be a positive one for him.
for the most part-though, for a guy like Montgomery his earning of let's say 8-10 mil over 5 or 6 years...he is not set for life- he is also at the point where he should be signing for generational wealth.
Though a starter that give you 6+ and 2 earned runs vs the normal starter that give you 5 innings and 3+ run(which is the new normal with 8-10k) the former is that much more valuable. Cole has been someone to rely on for years. He is a big hit
Agree great move. Sometimes you have to face facts and do the best you can with the assets you have. Credit to the Padres for acting early enough and not waiting too long.
I've been saying this about Cashman for years. It's all about filling the seats. To him it's all about the home runs.
Ut oh- you know someone is looking for your Padres thread and going to troll you now…lol
As I've said before Soto will put up great numbers and analytics freaks along with Kay and Sterling will love him, but he will disappoint you many times during the season.
He's made a bit over $20 million. He's set for life unless he's a moron.
Your right- the first google I did on him missed 2023 where he got 10 mil.
When you quote a salary it's misleadingly. Same with the media talking about lottery winners. A person that wins a Powerball jackpot listed as a billion $, isn't a billionaire.
This guy is at least fourth in line at catcher for the Yankees. And I doubt they'll be bringing three with them when they start the regular seasonYankees catcher exits spring game after getting struck on his mask in scary moment
Yankees catcher Luis Torrens came out of Friday night's loss to the Pirates after getting hit in the side of his face behind the plate.www.nj.com
I had read that article before it was posted here and I was thinking, "who the F is this guy and he's a Yankees catcher?"
I would post a "who the hell is this" gif, but on a plane right now. :)
Let's see what Rodon is doing in Sept or Oct. In other news, another Boris client gives up and signs a 1-year prove it deal. Snell to SF.
I learned a long time ago to never get too excited one way or the other about Spring training.
That almost goes for the first quarter of the season as well. And in today's baseball- it is just about getting into the playoffs by any means possible.
Totally agree. The baseball season allows you enough time to get off to a crappy start and still recover, but it’s much easier if you avoid that and get off to a mediocre start at worst. Get off to a lousy start and you’re looking at a month of winning the majority of your series to right the ship.
Yeah, but you’d rather not go that route. Particularly in NY where the fans are ready to fire everyone every day. Not saying Philly is any better, just best to avoid crappy starts if possible.
Go 4-5 wins over .500 each month and you have no worries. Even if you have a 2-3 win month once or twice, you will most likely be in the playoffs
It will be tough to avoid a bad start. If you think the Yankees are a top team right now, good luck.
I’m not a Yankee fan but I think they have enough to tread water. The problem is that their division is tough so you would have to look at the other WC contenders if you got off to that type of start.
It all depends upon the starting pitching. If it all craps out, we reset with new leadership and some kids next year.
BTW do we all believe that Cole could be back sometime in May? I'll first say the Yankees aren't the only team that just kicks the can down the street instead of giving real injuries answers. But we have seen way too many positive injury updates over the last few years to lead you to believe most of it's BS. Judge's injury last year where we first heard he just needed rest. Or everytime Stanton goes on the 10 day IL and we don't see him back for months.
