Two times zero is still zero. The Nats will be still near the bottom in prospects.
Hey Hohoho, I'm pretty sure your just a whiny troll. That baseball trade website that you said has "algorithms" also told me that the Cubs should have just given Kris Bryant to the Nats straight up for Carter Kieboom.Trust that the value the Nats got was the best they could have gotten. Everyone knew Max and Trea were on the block. Teams have their best offers. It doesn't matter what YOU think the Nats could have gotten in a vacuum, that isn't real life baseball. The alternative was the Nats get NOTHING for these guys plus a complete wild card in a compensation pick for when Trea leaves.
When did this board ever “trust” the GM?Just hoping I am wrong so I will stop now.
Don’t forget they probably could have gotten one more player but they did not want to eat any of Max salary. That’s on the owners.
Hohoho isn’t a troll, he’s just righteously pissed about this trade. I disagree on this topic, but he’s a solid poster.
Fine, maybe not a troll but, like, he made his point that he is pissed. Ok, it's sad to watch good players get traded away. What Hohoho is doing is just not listening to anything and posting incessantly that the sky is falling. We got your point. Move on.
When the new farm rankings come out, if we’re not at least in the top third, I’d expect a return to 2008 levels of terrible. The roster is sparse to put it mildly and the team is paying the piper for all of the deferred contracts
The Lerners have lots of money.
Fair enough, but how do we know Hohoho is a "he"? Not that it matters, but most people who defend the Baby Shark song are women.
How many deferred contracts do we currently have? Or do you mean that the insistence on offering deferred contracts is harming our ability to sign talent?
On paper
So it is all in unrealized capital gains. Nats value is $2B. Ted is worth over $5B, the richest man in MD, owning real estate like Tysons Mall and among the largest real estate owners in MVA. At 94, he can afford to pay a luxury tax and cash salaries for a couple players.
He’s 94 and has a ring. I doubt he cares at this point
His son is running the team anyway, right?They've got plenty of money. But they want to run a sustainable business. Same goes for Cohen with the Mets.
Not a good comparison.Mets are 3rd in payroll, 27th in revenueNats are 12rh in payroll, 11th in revenue and they don’t pay upfront
27th in revenue? How can that be? They're in the New York market.
Rizzo should have ask for more, the dodgers are desperate to defend their title. You would think a future hall of famer a multiple all star caliber shortstop will net you more than just 2 prospects
They got four including the Dodgers top two.
Has that been confirmed?
It should be noted Scherzer is not being paid a salary this season. His entire $35 million salary is deferred -- Scherzer will receive $15 million in deferred salary each year from 2022-28 -- and the Dodgers are assuming the prorated portion of this year's salary, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. That won't be paid until sometime far down the road, however. The Nationals will still reportedly owe Scherzer the "vast majority" of the deferred money.
