I’m ok with that deal

 

[Trust Me]

Outside of the staff (I know I know.. there’s potential.. but I don’t like gambling on pitching) … Stearns has killed this offseason. I’d like Iglesias back, but I just don’t see where he’d fit.

 

[Spidey Man]

I love the deal. Short term, high dollar is just what the doctor ordered.

Soto Vientos Alonso 2-4 will feed families

 

[Spidey Man]

I want cease next.

Lindor, Soto, Alonso, Vientos, Alvarez, Nimmo not bad at all. Now just find somebody to take Marte and hope Acuña plays well enough to take 2nd from McNeil.

 

[ineedsleep212]

I like it.

 

[Spidey Man]

I like it.

Pen not too shabby as well. Looking very good heading into 25. We should be a 90+ win team

I like how Stearns thinks with pitching in general. Pitcher performance has so much fluctuation and is volatile injury wise depth and keeping the floor high/reasonable is the smart play. The Yankees for example have a better staff right now but if anyone gets injured they immediately don't. And it's likely someone will get injured. Stearns has contingencies in place for both injury and poor performance.

Wonder how differently negotiations go if Pete didn't catch Devin Williams slippin

oh well, im fukkin with it, Soto gets a shield for this year, and it lines up just in time for the Vlad Jr sweepstakes

Let's do some math.

Pete was offered 7 years 158 in 23 which he turned down.

Last year he earned 20.5 in what would have been year 1 of the deal. This deal, if he stays the 2 years, will be 54. We are at 74.5 over 3 years. He'll need to make 83.5 over the next 4 years to match what he turned down. Assuming last season's production was the outlier, and not the trend, he should be able to match or even surpass what he turned down.

We have no backup shortstop at this point unless we plug acuna there

Yea I'm assuming Acuna's gonna play the Iglesias role from last year. He can back up 2nd, 3rd and short.
