However, the only person that decides if the money gets spent is Jed Hoyer. He apparently didn't spend his entire budget last year as Crane Kenney came out and bragged about how much money they didnt spend that would roll over to this year. And we just went through a year long campaign of "intelligent spending" and how he isn't necessarily excited about giving out the length of contract its going to take to sign a Correa or maybe even Bogaerts, as we listen to more and more about Dansby ****ing Swanson. |

I wonder how much Rodon will get considering his injury history. When he is healthy, he's got to be in the top 3-5 starters in the league.

Doesn't sound like you have to worry about him being around for 4 years, DJ.
Sounds like you are getting him for 5. |

His defense been knocked more for his framing. But he always graded well from a scouting perspective on liking the catcher that can throw quickly to second. That skill will be needed more in 2023, carried less weight in recent years. |

I just went and looked up the Fielding Bible Awards and 24 different catchers received a vote for being one of the top 1-10 defensive catchers during the 2023 season and Willson Contreras did not get one vote. That's telling.

Quintana signed with the Mets too. Didn't see it mentioned.

When you have Max and Verlander at the top of the rotation...a strike throwing lefty isn't a bad signing.
We need a #1, but they cost a ton, so we will probably add another middle order starter with the other 10 we already have. |
