    According to national writers, this is the best FA class since 2003.....and the team has added one relief pitcher so far that wasn't on the roster last year. And signed a backup catcher. On a team that cut payroll last year.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    No. People just keep listing players they hope are available. But if we look at the off season trade market, top starting pitchers aren't traded that often. About 0-3 a year......

    Cleveland signing a 2B to fill one of their holes...... Anyone that thinks they are shutting it down this year isn't looking at what they've actually done.....

    My wife made peanut butter balls, but ignored part of the recipe. They are more like peanut butter cups, but even creamier. I actually think I like them this way more.

    Which I equate to money in year four......but sure, I think that's an issue. But again, that's about the money in year four. Because the roster spot is not relevant if they are truly bad.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Concur. They failed at their likely plan (or part of it). Concur, they probably aren't liars and bad people.
  7. Mike Sixel
    uh, the white sox. Unless you think filling 3-5 of your holes with new players isn't moving forward. And the Angels, and he Yankees. It isn't just about winning a division.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Of the top 30 or so starting pitching free agents......more than 20 are off the board, and no new ones came here. I think it is pretty clear, it isn't just about personal preference.
  9. Mike Sixel
    and? Doing nothing is a choice.......which they've made on the FA market. Not on one or two players, but nearly all of the starting pitchers anyone would bet money on being good. Not hoping, but likely. Berrios could be injured. If you never sign anyone out of fear, you probably won't win many bidding wars.

    Check out this link. I don't think its about anything but mostly money, given how many went someplace else. https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/free-agent-tracker?pos=sp

    I'd look at the last two trade deadlines, and the lack of action this year, and ask to be traded. Professional athletes are competitors unlike most others on the planet. They have to be to rise to the top of the pack like they do. I'm guessing there are some unhappy players in MN now (guessing being the key word, of course). This looks exactly like when Torii and Johan said the future never comes.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'd guess it's about money. Then money. Then personal preferences for other locales or teams. But mostly money.
  13. Mike Sixel
    7 always seemed like too much, but maybe they could peanut butter the costs better that way.
  14. Mike Sixel
    What available trade avenue do we know is out there? I mean, they passed on Stroman and Gallan last year. Are there going to be better pitchers traded now?
  15. Mike Sixel
    If you stand still while everyone else moves forward.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    The entire board spent the last three years telling me, Van, and chief to calm down, when the team was good they'd go sign real free agents. yes, the goal posts have moved. Maybe not by you individually, but yes, they have.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Maybe the Sox aren't done either......... The FA market has sailed. There aren't more pitchers being made at a plant someplace........
  18. Mike Sixel
    The Mets aren't trading Thor, not unless Buxton and / or Sano are in the deal, plus prospects.
  19. Mike Sixel
    It's more than 10 million a year more, for a less healthy guy.....it's a way worse risk. Way worse.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Uh, they spent that money on other players.......like Corbin. They did nothing of the sort of "going all out". Not even close.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Because he misjudged teh market, I'd guess. He's got to be kicking himself for not taking a shot at 4-5 years at 18-22 million per. kicking himself.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Why would Odo sign here? We are told FAs don't want to come here....why would he want to stay?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'm sure the media will ask tough questions..
  24. Mike Sixel
    They passed on just spending money...... And not prospects. But sure, if they suddenly trade for a great pitcher, things can turn around. You think they will?
  25. Mike Sixel
    MLB had it's seventeenth straight year of record revenues this year......
