A lot more, especially if he keeps rebounding during the playoffs from his horrible finish to the season. Hernández's career-high in PA before FA was 462, and Taylor's topped that thrice. I'll say 3y/$45M even though he's entering FA almost two years older than Kiké did.

i was thinking something in the 4/$60M range before his second-half slump. 3/$40-$45 might be closer to where he winds up now

Sarah Langs on Twitter: 4 of Lance Lynn's 76 pitches today were fastballs (4-seam, sinkers, cutters). That's 97.4%. That's the highest rate of fastballs thrown in a postseason start in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008).
That's "74" pitches.

What type of deal do you all see Correa, Seager, Semien getting? 8/240, 8/270, 4/100?
AvatarJon Becker
6:01
More like 7/210 for Seager but the other two sound about right
6:02
(sorry to turn this into the Free Agent Shortstop Chat but I can't resist!)
AvatarJay Jaffe
6:02
it's a fair topic in a game where Correa is playing!
AvatarJon Becker
6:02
Also important to note that Leury García is ALSO playing in this game and ALSO a pending free agent shortstop
6:04
Yordan didn't get anywhere near all of that one and still hit it out
AvatarJay Jaffe
6:04
Alvarez with the big fly
AvatarDavid Laurila
6:04
Yordan Alvarez is a beast.

Lots of teams should be looking to sign Chris Taylor, right? I feel like he would make just about every team better
AvatarJay Jaffe
6:05
Yes. It will be interesting to see how much of a play the Dodgers make to keep him with Seager also hitting the market
James Watkins
6:05
Someone earlier said he needs more hype than he gets and they are absolutely correct

Sorry for the absence. I was resolving a Dog Vs. Squirrel incident in my backyard

Was it a closer game than the one the rest of us are watching?
AvatarJay Jaffe
6:07
what did ZiPS say about that matchup, Luke?
Luke Hooper
6:08
It was remarkably similar to this game but happened in about 3 minutes instead of 3 hours.

I'm willing to let bygones be bygones if Houston can save us from the inevitable deluge of insufferable LaRussa articles if the Sox were to win it all.
AvatarJay Jaffe
6:09
leaving the players aside, I'd much rather see Dusty win than Tony, that's for sure.

The broadcasters still haven't mentioned the sign-stealing scandal yet. Even when talking about hiring Baker. It's kind of impressive.
AvatarDavid Laurila
6:09
Old news.
Luke Hooper
6:10
Yes, Dusty needs a ring. Game 6 in 2002 must still haunt him.
AvatarJay Jaffe
6:10
it feels to me like they're worried they'll turn people off if they go in on the scandal

Do you think the Twins will sign good free agent shortstop this winter?
AvatarJay Jaffe
6:12
no. I can't see them spending the big dollars it will take and a 73-89 record isn't a great advertisement for top-tier free agents.
AvatarJon Becker
6:14
I think if they surprise and spend big or big-ish on anything it's pitching, with Maeda down, Pineda an FA and Bailey Ober and Joe Ryan the only youngsters who looked ready

Thanks guys, I enjoy these chats alot

The White Sox beat the Cubs 17-13 on August 27. Time of game was 4:09. (Looks at clock.)

McCullers has pretty much cruised so far. 1 hit, 0 walks, 2 hard-hit balls both of which were grounders
AvatarJay Jaffe
6:19
Regardless of who wins this game, he wins the Lance-Off
Luke Hooper
6:20
Somehow McCullers has as many whiffs on his sinker as on his slider and curve combined.

Will there be live chats tomorrow?
AvatarJon Becker
6:19
Yes! There'll be chats during both of the NL Games One.

Best part of these chats is the bosses thinking I'm typing away at work

So who do we put in the SS market? NYY, Hou, LAA, Det, Tex?
AvatarJon Becker
6:20
Would add Phillies to this too, based on Dombrowski's noncommittal to Gregorious yesterday.

Sir Didi had a real Replacement Level Killer season. 68 wRC+, 0.0 WAR. Woof

Dusty goes to the pen here in the 7th no?
