man I really wanted Pryor
-
but Doyle's actually decent and has some use in the passing game. Exactly. My point is we overpay for a guy like this, but miss out on impact players at reasonable deals. oh my bad, i thought you were saying Doyle/Sims were similar. yeah, this is bad.

YUP IT SURE IS That's within a mill per year of what Doyle got..... but Doyle's actually decent and has some use in the passing game.
-
Thats.... a lot more than I was expecting. YUP IT SURE IS

3 yr/$18M, $10M guaranteed for Sims.

It's worth $90M from a team about to win back to back World Series and also get their own TV network. ok but really. is going from rondon/edwards/strop/davis to edwards/strop/davis/chapman(or Jansen) worth $18m a year? Honestly, I don't expect a lot from Strop or Rondon this year. They worry me. And I don't expect the Cubs to go after Jansen because I think they are trying to build Edwards to be the closer for next year with Davis in the helm this year. But yeah, I think another World Series while basically cutting the game down to 6 innings max is worth 18M, if they chose to go that way.
-
There's just not much precedent for closers as dominant and as young as Chapman and Jansen hitting FA. It won't happen, but imagine if the Cubs swooped in on Jansen now. You could basically have hockey lines of elite relievers. I mean it sounds cool but what is that actually worth It's worth $90M from a team about to win back to back World Series and also get their own TV network.
-
The Cubs traded Gleyber Torres for a World Series.
-
getting closers in the last year of their deal and pitching them until they die is the new market inefficiency.
