I'll tell you when the projections are out!

Bauer's "intangibles" - ie, his off-field shenanigans/products - will also vary his contract more than it would for other players.

Dan Szymborski

8:46

I think that's mostly just Twitter noise.

It'll have zero effect on his deal.

5 Run Homer

8:47

but is he an asshole? seems like he's tough to get along with, that doesn't play well in a clubhouse

Dan Szymborski

8:47

I don't think people are that easily categorized.

I *can* tell you writers opinions on players and players opinions on players are rarely on the same page.

Still amazes me that Urías is only 24. Feels like he's been here forever.

Brendan Gawlowski

8:48

Almost a quarter of his life

Bernard Gilkey

8:48

Who says no: Jon Gray for Gary Sanchez

Dan Szymborski

8:48

There are a *lot* of writers who legitimately thought that the majority of players would agree with the whole "How DARE they play a baseball season" stuff.

Brendan Gawlowski

8:49

That's a fun trade that makes both players more exciting in 2021. I like it.

Lzfreak

What if the Rockies sign him Dan? Would you still argue for him?

Dave Cash or Kevin Roberts

8:49

What would be more exciting: A 21-k shutout from Urias, or a 21-0 Dodger win with 21 solo homers?

Dan Szymborski

8:49

I have zero problem praising the Rockies when they do something competent or ripping a competent franchise a new one if they do something I don't like.

Brendan Gawlowski

8:49

The former

Dan Szymborski

8:49

I think the Rays are certainly well-run, but I certainly torched them for getting Souza instead of Turner

Fire Ken Tremendous

8:50

He's the new Edwin Jackson

Dodger Fan

8:50

I think the Rockies say no.

They need a guy like Gray a lot more than most teams do.

Dan Szymborski

8:51

I don't think they know what to do with Gray.

Brendan Gawlowski

8:51

They also haven't had a catcher who can hit in forever

Dan Szymborski

8:51

And I dont' think they're smart enough to know what they might have in Gray

5 Run Homer

8:52

Imagine a good Gary Sanchez in Colorado

sadtrombone

8:52

If he doesn't shred his hand again doing his drone hobby I don't think teams will care.

Bernard Gilkey

8:52

I had another trade proposal that assumes Lindor leaves and Wander Franco takes over SS for TB. Not wanting Adames to depreciate in value by moving to 3B or LF and Cleveland needing bats over arms; Willy Adames for Zach Plesac (as basic framework)

5 Run Homer

8:52

The Rockies are the team that's dumb enough to just look at ERA but also dumb enough to just look at batting average so really who knows

Eel Ffilc

8:53

Why are the lights always on at the other field

Dan Szymborski

8:53

"LOOK HOW MUCH MONEY WE'VE BURNED"

Brendan Gawlowski

8:53

The Rays don't care about Adames' WAR

Dodger Fan

8:53

Imagine any Yankee in Colorado...*whistles*

Brendan Gawlowski

8:53

Adam Ottavino is getting nostalgic

Dan Szymborski

8:54

You know, with his hair grown out a bit, Yarbrough has a real Patrick Bateman American Psycho look.

Bernard Gilkey

8:54

True but Zach Plesac 2026 free agent makes the TB Goldman Sachs guys faint

sadtrombone

8:55

Adames is my #1 regression candidate for next year. I wouldn't be surprised if the Rays move him if they can find someone who believes that batting line.

Dan Szymborski

8:55

My feeling is the Rays will move *anyone* if they see an opportunity to.

Mad Joe-Don

8:55

Yankees hitters are like Jurassic Park dinosaurs. Once they leave, they'll suffer some amino acid deficiency and stop hitting.

Dan Szymborski

8:56

Poor Jacoby Ellsbury; he couldn't even last enough to be a terrible ex-Yankee for a poorly run team.

5 Run Homer

8:56

Tampa can get good pitchers for cheaper than that though
