Maybe Mort's postseason resume got a few contenders to bid up -- compared to the rest of the $8-11 Mil signings so far. Or maybe the Braves, sensing they're very close to a title, just pulled a Dombro targeting their guys and getting it done while other clubs are still assessing the market (and vaccine progress, and how that might affect budgets).
But I agree that Old Uncle Charlie isn't worth almost twice as much as way-under 30 ERod -- if the latter's indeed 100%...
Assuming the costs of Bauer and Snell are non-starters (so punny), how high will Bloom go for, say, Odorizzi? Maybe a better question is how much of a paycut will Jake settle for? He ain't gettin no 17.8 this winter... unless it's a two-year deal.
My guess is there will be some decent, but maybe not great, players available near the end of the off season that will be great bargains.
Watch Bloom wait and swoop.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
I think a better quality "bargains" will be available late this winter- better than Perez & Plawecki.

The OP in this thread is why we can't have nice things
