Thread: Bauer sweepstakes

  1. #1

    Bauer sweepstakes

    Sounds like it’s down to Mets and Dodgers. Not entirely sure why the Yanks haven’t jumped in here. Most recent reported offer was 4 yrs $120+ mil with a series of opt outs. If the Dodgers get him, it could be repeat city here.

    Kershaw
    Bauer
    Buehler
    May
    Price
    Ferguson
    Urias
    Gonsolin

    That’s entirely ridiculous.
    Hal sucks

    Mets would be pretty dirty too

    DeGrom
    Bauer
    Stroman
    Carrasco
    Peterson

    With Syndrrgaard coming back mid season

    The Yankees are keeping under the luxury tax threshold, everyone and their mama knows that.

    Anyway I don't think Bauer is a $30M/yr pitcher. Guy had one dominant season in 2018. Sure he looked great last season in what, only 11 starts? He wasn't good in 2019, and prior to 2018 he consistently pitched to a middling 4 ERA.

    I agree. Bauer is taking advantage of great timing here. And maybe a little of that sticky stuff...(his spin rates were crazy last year and he pretty much told everyone why).
    Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    Are you saying it happened or just predicting?

    I cannot find this actually happening anywhere...

    Trevor Bauer’s decision could come today, as we discussed a short time ago on #HotStove.

    That's who I thought would get him all along.
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    That's not much of a threat.

    If they do not hear in time, who are they going to move on to? If they say the deadline is 4pm today, and Bauer's agent calls them tomorrow or Sunday and says they have a deal, you can bet Bauer is headed to the Mets...

    Unless, the Mets sign Odorizzi at 4:01 pm, today.

    Mets offer to Trevor Bauer said to be frontloaded with the opt-outs. About $40M at least in 1st year, via
    @Joelsherman1
    with opt-out. Dodgers Bauer offer unknown but they offered similar structure — $40M/year with rolling opt-outs to Bryce Harper. They can compete.
