RIPPA Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 Lopez's deal is a little wonky in that he will only make $4 million this season and then $11 million in 2025 and 2026 It has a $8 million club option with a $4 million buyout (hence where the rest of the guaranteed money is coming from) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Not only should Colon get in over Shields, they should show the video of Shields serving up Colon's one and only homerun on a neverending loop at the HOF. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauer may not be a 1st ballot guy to some, but he's probably getting in at some point. Others: If it took Larry Walker 10 cycles to get in, I'm guessing it takes that long for Todd Helton to get the call?

Contentious C Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Looking forward to Tony LaRussa and the rest of the Old-Timers Committee making up for the fucking embarrassing inclusion of Harold Baines by fixing the fucking embarrassing omission of Gary Sheffield pretty soon. And then he can go back to fucking all the way off into whatever ritual he's using to remain a lich. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Phil's fan, I hope so. Case against him is obviously the short prime due to injuries. Case for him is that during that 5-6 year prime I believe he had the second-best WAR in all of MLB after Pujols, and far better than any other 2nd baseman. Case to be made he's the best 2nd baseman of the 00's. Also had intangibles of being seen as a great clubhouse leader even after his on-field abilities diminished.

onelegbrynn Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 The Reds signed a dude today, Emilio Pagan, to a two-year $16 million deal with an opt-out after the first year. Not familiar with him at all but he's a reliever and they need pitching so seems like a good fit. Anyone know about him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know about him? 5 teams in 7 years. 6 in 8 now that he's signed with Cincy. 4 years under 100 ERA+ as a reliever, which is incredibly bad. But was good last year and he has had 2 other good years. $8m is a lot to pay for 60 innings when there's a more than 50% chance those 60 innings will suck.
