ESPN is predicting 4yr88m for DJ to us and 2yrs 36m for Tanaka from the Twins. I honestly don't think anyone has a clue what this market is going to be like this winter.
Voit and Andujar for Rizzo, Bryant and 20m cash from the Cubs, who says no?

Never said it was a mistake just was pointing out cashman’s love affair with injury prone players over the years . And judge is injury prone .Quote:

CBS has us being interested in all the top available SS. CBS usually gives some pretty solid info. They also have us heavily going after Hand and Hendricks . The bad news is they have us resigning Tanaka for 3yrs 48m and Gardy 1yr 4M.
The one thing in common with all these FA predictors is that none of them seem to agree on anything.
I rather they pick up kluber for the Morp role . Tanaka is done as a yankee imo. They couldn’t get to a ws with him for the 7 years they had him so time to move onQuote:

dl not worth 20 million a year in my book.. he a singles double hitter with power mostly because he plays in yankee stadium he will be a corner infielder in 2 years he is 6f4 33 next year..Quote:

^ Good point.
True but remember, we were the odds on favorites to win. **** happens every year and teams go belly upQuote:

Klown i don't know about that rotation wise. Bauer, Buehler, Kershaw, May and Urias would be tough to beat.
I think the Yanks would have to sign or trade for 2 guys to get a better rotation than that. If u could count on Sevy and German to go back to there best I would agree but ill have to see them perform again at that level before I can be a believer

Again, all big ifs. But the Dodgers would all have to stay healthy which is a big if, as well.
My point was, I wouldn't say they would win for sure. Do they look great on paper? Yes. But so did the Yankees last year.
I agree 100%. But, I think the thing that gets way overlooked is not just quality or potential. None of our guys outside of Cole can give us 150 innings. Just look at the stats. Its 2-4 years since each of them has pitched even 100 innings in a season. Might have to go beyond 2 and get some depth as well.Quote:

He should hit 60 HR a year, drive in 120, have an average of 330+, and OBP of 450+, only strike out 10 times a year and play gold glove at 4 positions and be able to start or close a game if needed.Quote:

Do you know what their record was without DJ? No. you don't. They were 1-8. What was there record without judge? 5-0 until DJ went outQuote:

They were 1-8 without DJ. All those others, they still managed to win provided DJ was in the lineup.
VOit also helped.
And never get hurtQuote:

a lot more players this post season had more impact in games then dj.. dj was not great in the post season this year.. to many names to mention quite a few made you guys making sound like he is mike trout or mookie betts or freddie freeman or jose altuve etc etc etc.. you want to give him 4 years between 89-100 million... for a guy outside of yankee stadium would have 10 home runs a season..who defense was not great great and will olny get worse as he ages at 2b..heaven forbid if dj starts to regress have a meh season in the next few years..Quote:

I do not see how anyone in the front office who has watched the last two years possibly lets DJ walk. That shouldn't be an option, especially with the FA market looking like a buyers market.
