  • Kris Bryant 4 Years / $100 Million gets it done. Write it down!

    Comment


    • to clarify, i dont think there is any chance we are in the sweepstakes for Bryant. my only point was that he is the rare 30 year old free agent who will get a long term deal that I think might be worth the money for a marlins team if it is even remotely in the budget. Doubt it is though unfortunately. The flexibility he could give us though would be great and his bat is top 3 in the league at 3b. Plus he and Anderson both have corner OF flexibility or maybe andy can learn 1b.

      • damn, i didnt realize aguilar is already at 47 rbi's this year. So happy to say I could not have been more wrong about him when we got him. Thought he was another mike morse that would be gone by mid season last year but he has been as good as you could possibly expect. He's arbitration eligible next year so we still have him under team control and Diaz hasn't exactly given any kind of confidence that he can play full time yet.

        Plus, Aguilar along with rojas and jazz are the absolute soul and leaders of the team. Don't see how they couldn't bring him back unless they get a rizzo type guy in free agency who, btw, I would not love unless its for 2 years or less. There is a definite potential that he is declining and not close to the player he once was.

          absolutely no one seems to know what the current market is for free agents and the pandemic exacerbated that issue, but even still that seems light to me. one of those big market teams will scoop him up to 5 years 150 million in my opinion. Especially if he keeps up this current pace for the year. he has been the model of consistency every year other than last year's weird year and he doesn't have an injury history.

          • the more i see the comparables for marte 3 years 45-50 million seems about right given his age. Id do that in a heartbeat. We have young OF prospects but if we can fill CF for the next few years with that type of talent and consistency and only have to find 2 OF spots out of the current crop of prospects I'd be ecstatic.

              If he keeps up the current pace he'll get more than what I said, but I think he'll come back down to his career numbers, which is just below .900 OPS.

                Yeah, if that's the price, I think they'd be making a pretty big mistake not to do that deal. The fact that they haven't even approached him about a new deal is a little bit worrisome, though. It's early, so it doesn't mean they won't, but you'd think they would have at least had exploratory talks. Hopefully the reaction to those comments followed by what Marte said, will help get things moving.

                • looking forward to the ways in which ronald acuna makes our lives hell for the next 3 days. I saw their salaries owed for the next 10 years and my god, I'm not sure who the wizard in the braves front office is or who the awful agents for acuna and albies are but for the next 5 years their combined salaries are: 8, 20, 24, 24, 24. Complete steals. Albies negotiated the single worst deal for a player in the league right now.

                    • acuna was clearly safe to the eye and even safer on replay. maybe we get lucky and they shy away from using the replay in the first inning.

But with Covid impacting finances, and his age, that feels high the more I look at it. Realmuto just got $23M per year, and is younger and a catcher. He got 5 years, which you'd think is a decent bit longer than what Marte will get. Ozuna might be a better comp, and he got 4 years at $65M. He's younger also, though, so if you take that AAV for 3 years, you might have something close. So maybe 3 years, and somewhere between 45-50M?

                          The good news is, he wants to be here. So that should mean you're not going to overpay to get him.
                          You mean like the 3/45 I originally said? lol

                          • please hold this lead. bullpen blowing this would be pretty devastating.

                              • couldnt be any less confident in bass's ability to get this out and prevent the run scoring here. hope he proves me wrong.
