$400 million is too much, but Bryce is going to be awesome for the next decade. If you want to take a position no one should make that much money compared to what else you can buy for a team, SURE. Everyone is with you there. But saying Bryce is a declining player because his age 25 season was not as good as his age 22 or 24 seasons is pretty fucking stupid. He's not in a physical decline. He had a low BABIP and had a poor defensive season where he should rebound there with less time in CF, and focusing a bit more in a corner.
He is entering his prime Lee. He had a down year for him, and was one of the best 50 bats in baseball last year. That's an insane floor and his upside is Mickey Mantle.

Imagine thinking a 26 year old bryce harper is on the downside of his career based on a below average year relative to his career where he struggled early but was one of the best hitters in baseball in the 2nd half. Its truly one of the dumbest Lee posts yet.

GM Meetings start today
Not much Marlins news-they are looking for a Left Handed Bat(Prefer 1B)/talking to teams on DD/Straily/Urena/RP and not talking on JT yet but are telling teams they expect to trade him(More likely Winter Meetings after FA signed)
Big news they might be making the Trade Deadline 1 day instead of July 31 and Aug 31-supposed to vote and would be on like Sunday Afternoon mid Aug

I would personally also think they need a corner OF over a 1B, but we'll see.

Frisaro mentioned Asdrubal Cabrerra, Matt Adams, Daniel Murphy, and Neil Walker as possibilities. Of those, I would prefer Adams or Cabrerra on a short deal. As Lou mentioned, I would prefer someone that can play a corner OF spot. Adams and Walker has played some OF in the past year.

If they trade JT they could get an OF in that deal too plus Rule 5 draft
I could see LoMo(1 yr plus option),Jon Jay(1 year) and then few minor league deals(Power bat/RP) as FA signings

Daniel Murphy on a 1 year deal to play 1b if his market is dry would be perfect as I’ve been saying. Good lefty bat with power who can play 1b and who could go off and be able to get us something quality at the deadline. We should get a guy or 2 like him given that we should have a little money to spend on a free agent lineup addition. Lomo doesnt do anything for me. Those 1b/DH types are cheap but they seem to be very hit or miss as well.Last edited by fish16; 11-06-2018, 11:15 AM.

John Jay makes a lot of sense for a year.
Brad Miller is perfect on a minor league deal and hope the power comes back. Miller actually hit a solid .248/.311/.413 last year in a real number of PA (even if BABIP .350 which isn't inspiring). Worth a flyer and play him at AAA.
A RP to get saves and trade would be nice, although they can do that with Conley too (assuming they keep him).

Keller I wonder if they even protect on the 40 man but he had a nice year if they like him over someone like Kinley or Meyer. He's still got a lot of names to jump though as Steckenrider, Wittgren, Guerrero, and Brigham seem like bullpen locks above him, Richards/Alcantara could get kicked to the pen, and Guzman is looming. Let alone Gallen/Yamamoto and other guys who could get shifted to the pen fast.

Keller won't be on the 40 man which means doubt he is in the ML BP till July/Aug. More likely he is AAA Closer but he should be up eventually
They have Conley/Garcia/Steck/Witt/Guerrero/Rule 5 Guy as locks with guys like Brigham,Meyer,Kinley,Graves,3 or 4 Minor League FA Signings sitting in AAA

I wouldnt mind Jay,LoMo,Brad Miller and trade DD then sign a few RP to Minor League Deals or a vet
Wouldnt surprise it they get 2 guys in Rule 5 Draft or even trade for guys like they did LY with NYY

Any subscribers to The Athletic? I'd like to see a synopsis of the Bowden piece that was published an hour ago. Five prospective Realmuto deals. https://theathletic.com/638551/2018/...at-make-sense/
Nevermind. Read it myself. 1) To Houston for Josh James and Tony Kemp 2) To Colorado for nothing 3) Atlanta for a couple pitching prospects 4) Nats for Robles 5) Dodgers for Verdugo and May.
Robles would be great, but of course not happening. Dodger deal w/o Ruiz or Will Smith doesn't work at all. The others are ridiculous.Last edited by Lee Stone; 11-07-2018, 09:43 AM.
