    This should hopefully shake loose a lot of the rest of the market

    If Dak hits FA, I'd be ecstatic to give him an outrageous contract. Otherwise this terrifies me. horsefeathers it . lets go deep I'm cool with going deep. My biggest worry is that Ryan Pace is going to pay going deep prices for someone who is decidedly not deep, like Matt Stafford.

    Most likely it's gonna be 14 teams instead of what we had last year. This setup: https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2020/02/10/mlb-plotting-playoff-expansion-with-reality-tv-twist/amp/ Better, but still bad.

    I think the most Bears thing would be to trade a ransom for Watson, and have it turn out that this was his career year and he's more good than great. Basically a replay of the Cutler saga. The most Pace thing that could happen is clearly Wentz IMO. Trade fairly significant draft capital for Wentz, despite his huge contract. Be correct in predicting a big rebound. Congrats, you now have the 13th best QB in the NFL, but you're paying him like a Pro Bowler and you gave up three Day 2 picks for the privilege.

    Am I wrong that challenging for 12 extra yards on a kickoff isn't worth it even if you're 100% sure it's getting overturned?

    This is the baseball equivalent of Dwight's Hotel Hell fantasy

    The Pirates are going to be so so so bad

    Yeah, I think trading Hendricks would be a sign that we're fully turning the page. At that point you've absolutely got to do Contreras as well. I actually don't like the idea of trading Bryant in that case though. If we're just fully trolling for value, hold onto the one year guys til the summer. At least one of them will go off and be mega valuable in July. Don't settle for modest value here in January.

    Last year he was a disaster, but the two years before that he was a solid 2nd division starter type with the Yankees.

    Looks like the Angels haven't closed the door on acquiring a catcher after adding Suzuki.
  17. Bertz
    Yeah I think this is where I'm at unless the Cowboys are dumb enough to let Dak go.

    This sounds like a last gasp to wring an extra couple million out of Philly. I wouldn't be surprised if he signs this weekend.

    Edit: Rosenthal got Nightengale'd

    It's a one year deal, seems to be more insurance in case Heaney/Canning break down and Ohtani is toast. I still think they're a landing spot for Bauer. Angels are ~$23M under the luxury tax. That's not enough for Bauer. We don't know that they're for sure using the tax line as a cap but they've never crossed it before. Just a generally weird last week for them. They seemed primed for one more big splash, and then did Quintana and Kurt Suzuki. Maybe they've got a trade lined up?
  21. Bertz
    Weird. This seems to imply the Angels are out on Bauer? Mets can't really fit him either...so is he going to the Jays too? Or the Dodgers? Good for Q though. In a vacuum I like him on this deal, but our rotation already has 3 finesse guys so he's probably not the best fit.

    I'm not too worried about Theo knowing explicitly. It sounds like the interpretor was a dead end and even in the bro-est of offices this isn't exactly the sort of thing that you bring up around your boss's boss's boss. That said, Theo does have to own the culture. And there's not a ton of reason to give him the benefit of the doubt that this was a one-off and things were otherwise completely buttoned up.
