Except, at the end, the 2019 result proved ownership was dumb.

It's going to be a bit of a bidding war (he lives in a Boston suburb where his wife is from, near Pedro, and he's on the NYY radar), but, I trust this organization when it takes on pitchers with an injury history. 

We are in tricky situation with Scherzer's expiring contract.  Typically, the organization brings on the successor before a major player leaves, especially pitchers.  Often, the successor doubles up with the end of control guy for a year or two.  Kluber is about 2 years younger than Max so he fits the profile of a short term successor you'd try to sign for 2 years plus an option.  Given his injury history and age, I don't think he'd get 3 years guaranteed without him giving up a lot of money.   

From Kluber's perspective, I think he has 2 ways to go.  He could take the 2 or 3 year deal at lower AAV and good total dollars, or he could just take the highest single season offer and say "I'll prove it this year and go back on the market next." I'll guess we'll put  the multi-year on the table, maybe a Charlie Morton to Tampa kind of contract at slightly less, and other organizations will come in with single season contracts at high value.

I thought it was Kluber that insists on 1 year deals...or was that another pitcher?

That’s Bauer. He’s the $30 million guy.

Wow Braves spent nearly 30 million in pitching. Mets brought in McCann, Lindor, Carrassco. We are looking third fiddle in the East at best if we do not get it together.

We'll take the mets position in last place this season.

We're probably battling for last place with the Phillies right now.

Braves
Mets (assuming they sign one more top player which seems like will happen)
Nats/Phils
Marlins

Lol, Fish ain't finishing last.

I just hope Rizzo actually sells instead of this wishy washy bullcrap. You see what Lindor got? Trea Turner would fetch as much

We can still compete. But it takes an outfielder, starting pitcher and infielder well above average. As currently constructed it would be a long, hot, summer.

Rizzo needs to make a splash move. Most obvious one is Realmuto. You're easily looking up at ATL and NY at this point. Filling out the rest of the holes with "fliers" signings is going to have this team pulling up the bottom in the division. If you want to take a chance on someone like Kluber I'm on board but not if you're doing that with the rest of your holes.

it certainly has been a quiet January compared to 2020.  I assume we get Ozuna.

I wonder what Lerner's finances look like- commercial real estate took a beating. I could see this be a LAC year

You bet they did. Combine that with the owners colluding to suppress salaries right before a CBA negotiation and there isnt going to be a lot of signings.

The real moneyball is signing all the top FA to pillow contracts for 1 year because they all want to be part of TEAM SOTO
