    Because he's already being paid at least what he's worth, and likely more, on the open market. If you trade for Sale, you still have to pay that contract. Think for a moment what gives a player "trade value". It's not just their ability in a vacuum. It's how their projected ability compares to the contract cost relative to years of team control. The more "underpaid" a player is, the more trade value they have. It's not controversial, it's common sense. Would you say Sale is vastly underpaid going forward? Perhaps you think he is, the vast majority would disagree.

    If they are blocked by a DH, then they aren't that great of an option to begin with.

    I was responding to a poster who suggested he was a significant downgrade from Kyle Gibson. Gibson posted a 95 ERA+ last year. 100 is league average. League average for 1 year $7M is a bargain. I'm not sure what people are demanding from a 1 year $7M signing?
  4. Mr. Brooks
    That depends on if those 73 good innings with Oakland were fueled by a sustainable change, or if they were just random variation. Whether you approve or disapprove of this FO, I think it's fair to assume they've done some homework regarding what fueled those improved results.
  5. Mr. Brooks
    At the deadline, sure that's possible, I thought you meant now. Although, with the extra wild card, all but the really awful teams can convince themselves they're in contention. If he wants a big extension, they can just QO him, and get back a draft pick that will probably be just as good or better than anything they'll get for a half season rental reliever.
  6. Mr. Brooks
    He may or may not have gotten that much on the open market, but the signing team wouldn't also have to give up prospects in addition to all that cash. Nobody is giving up legit prospects AND full market salary, hence the negative, or at best neutral trade value.
  7. Mr. Brooks
    Why is SD trading Kirby Yates? They are buyers not sellers, even if you think they should be.
  8. Mr. Brooks
    Sale has negative trade value if we're eating all of his contract, IMO.
  9. Mr. Brooks
    Kepler isn't getting us Devers even if we take on ALL of Price's salary.
  10. Mr. Brooks
    Not sure where you got "greedy pig" from anything I said. I simply asked for clarification on whether he was speculating, or posting something factual that he read somewhere. That's it.
  11. Mr. Brooks
    So, speculation. That's fine, I was just checking because your post was stated as if it were factual knowledge.
  12. Mr. Brooks
    Wow.
  13. Mr. Brooks
    Absolutely perfect throw!
  14. Mr. Brooks
    I mean, they took a knee on the kickoff! Why not at least try to return it for a touchdown?
  15. Mr. Brooks
    Is Zimmer the most conservative coach in football? Zero aggression on their last 2 offensive drives, and defensive drives.
  16. Mr. Brooks
    That's quite a leap from bought mom a car (like every pro athlete) to doesn't care about money.
  17. Mr. Brooks
    Unreal. Can a Minnesota team get a great player (which Thielen is) who doesn't choke in the playoffs?
  18. Mr. Brooks
    Do you have a link for that? Or is this speculation?
  19. Mr. Brooks
    Why did Mackenzie Alexander play 50 snaps in a game the Vikings weren't trying to win?
  20. Mr. Brooks
    You're dog looks just as worried as us, so I'm not sure how that's supposed to cheer us up.
  21. Mr. Brooks
    It's not that black and white. There is a range of possibilities, each with its own probability of happening. Not to mention several variables that are constantly fluid which change those probabilities in real time. There is some probability that he becomes a guy that can help in the playoffs, some probability that he doesn't. So the price very much does matter.
  22. Mr. Brooks
    I'd say Graterol and Jeffers would be a good starting point for Gray. For Alcantara, depending on if they want quality or quantity, you could offer Graterol straight up, or something like Rooker plus Gordon plus Javier plus Rortvedt.
  23. Mr. Brooks
    If we're taking on all of Sale's contract, we better be getting prospects back, not sending them.
  24. Mr. Brooks
    No way. Larnach is way too much to give up for Archer, IMO.
  25. Mr. Brooks
    Not going to happen. Rhodes has been one of the 2 or 3 worst starting cornerbacks by nearly every measure. The Vikings can still win this game, but it'll have to be in spite of Thomas, not because they've shut him down.
