Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 If I were a betting man, I'd bet on Paul Goldschmidt as the next free agent of the 2019 and 2020 groups that doesn't reach free agency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contentious C Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I always thought Scrooge was the dream, until I realized you'd have to be made out of adamantium to make that dive. Plus, how fucking dirty would it be? That'd be the anti-bath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would you say that those dollars come from STL, or that he gets dealt and whoever gets him backs up the Brinks truck? I guess that probably hinges on whether or not STL can get back to their playoff-making ways, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Doubtful anyway. He's turning 32 this year (didn't come up full-time until his age 24 season). Given how they treated Pujols, STL isn't going to make that mistake now. And it's quite unlikely anyone else will, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's quite unlikely anyone else will, either. I think Goldy stays in St. Louis. Playing his first full big league season at 24 could work in his favor since he doesn't have as much mileage on his body. Pujols was three years younger when he came up full time, and played 161, 157, and 157 games in those first three years. Goldschmidt played 145, 160, and 109 games in his first three full years. He only played in 48 games in 2011. I could still see Goldschmidt being productive in his late 30s, especially if the NL adopts the DH. I think he gets a 5 or 6 year deal.

Brian Fowler Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The best/worst part about the Trout deal is that, both by "value per win added" and "in comparison to what other players make and skill level", barring a major drop in performance early on, he's still wildly underpaid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 His research assistant must hate him. Either because he ignores them and says this shit, or for some other reason leading them to feed him this shit to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 12 hours ago, RIPPA said: Okay - so some of the details are starting to emerge Trout's deal will basically redo the current remaining two years of his deal. So it is 10 additional years to the 2 he was already committed to LAA. It's appears to be a $36 million a year (unsure if they will just do an even split or front/back load it) Trout will be 40 at the end of the deal (2030) It will have no opt outs and will continue to have a full no trade In three years, he'd have a full no trade anyway.

I agree about Goldy, I can see the Cards giving him a 5 year deal to stay put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
