SC Jim
7:22
Anyone on the Rox if interest? I've always like McMahon. Cron seems to beaten up.
Frank Novak
7:21
And if they’ll give you a better deal by you taking Joe Kelly or Kendall Graveman off their books you send Junis in with the package and say thank you very much
Strakman
7:21
Did you know the Yankees are sinking fast. What are they gonna do? Cashman as the Rodon Albatross and an injured Judge.
Frank Novak
Which is why you have to go see what Giolito would cost. Because that’s a similar arm to Gausman
7:20
We’d be first in the west
SC Jim
7:19
Plus I don't think they liked when he kicked the bat and hit Thairo in the ankle.
Frank Novak
Imagine Gausman, Webb and Cobb
7:19
With the obligatory ‘we’d still rather have Gausman’ mention
Strakman
7:19
I think SC that Farhan and Kap had enough Rodon last year, and Rodon had enough of them too.
Frank Novak
7:18
Might have been more Rodon not being interested much and wanting to be on the east coast but hey, cheers to him
SC Jim
Re-upping
7:18
Frank, back to an earlier point you made. Props to FZ for nire-upping Rodon, etc. As they say, sometimes the beat deals are the ones you don't make.
Frank Novak
7:17
Edman has two more arbitration seasons before FA. Could be available. I imagine they’d rather move DeJong
7:16
Edman is low salary and controllable for a few more seasons though that’s where the cost comes in
SC Jim
7:15
Yeah, he's having a down year.
Strakman
7:15
Edman on the 10-day IL and he's hitting .237. He should come cheap.
SC Jim
7:14
I'm not sure about the exact timing but he agreed to the extension a few days later so I think they had a handshake agreement.
Frank Novak
De Jong could be a more affordable acquisition as he costs more and would be akin to a salary dump for STL
7:14
I like Tommy Edman but what’s the cost
SC Jim
7:13
What do you guys think about Edmans. I've heard his name mentioned as a possible trade candidate. Mo has said he wants pitching back.
Frank Novak
I can’t recall that
7:12
Did the Betts extension happen at the same time as that trade?
Strakman
7:11
I don't give a damn who he is, no player is worth that kind of money. How many playoffs has Otani led the Angels to? Zero.
SC Jim
7:11
The problem with Ohtani for this season is he's been dealing with a blister. Hard to know how much he'll pitch. I would only trade for him if I could get him to agree to an extension like Mookie did with the Dodgers. Otherwise wait for FA.
Frank Novak
7:09
He’s a unicorn and he’s going to be compensated as such
Strakman
7:09
I think the bidding war for Otani might drive it over $600 million, and that's just flat obscene. No ball player is worth that.
Frank Novak
7:09
They see there’s a chance they may need him
I think this is why Luciano is at AAA
7:08
I think Ohtani might end up $550 mil
Strakman
7:08
Lamonte may break down, and his offense is already going down. I think his back is a lingering issue.
Frank Novak
Then you’d probably want to keep Joc
7:07
Bellinger could thrive in SF
SC Jim
7:06
Bellinger has said he likes the Cubs but they'll move him for the right price. Other teams will be interested. He'd probably love the idea of sticking it to the Dodgers.
Frank Novak
7:06
What’s been nuts is every guy the Giants didn’t sign including Rodon has been largely awful
7:05
They knew they could hold him and use that extra pool money in a deep draft and that’s exactly what happened
Strakman
7:05
Signing Otani is going to take more than a half billion dollars, and, honestly, I'm against that.
Frank Novak
7:05
If the giants got bowled over with an offer, I think they’d have dealt him
I’m not sure how costly. See Rodon, Carlos
7:04
I’ve said this before, I do not believe the Giants get Ohtani but I think they’ll make sure whomever gets him pays dearly
Strakman
7:03
In fact, it would be nice to see Bellinger even without Stroman in a Giants uni. However, with the way he's comeback this year, it will be kinda costly to get him, I think.
