Southwest Sider Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 This should wrap up the free agent closer market, I highly doubt the Dodgers offer more money than Chapman got from the Yankees for Jansen. I'd be shocked if they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Unless, actually, the Dodgers match. If they match I think it's a no brainer for Jansen to go back to LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this as well. LA is so much more desirable a destination than Miami, in terms of being on a competitive team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I must say, if I could pay Jansen 5/$75, or Robertson 2/$25, and give up maybe 1 top 100 guy, I would take the latter option in a freaking millisecond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan99 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 The Marlins are so stupid. Giving up a first round pick to sign a closer when you have no starting pitching and a mediocre at best lineup is so foolish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:25 PM) I think they're trying to replicate the Royals model. THE OPPOSITE, THOUGH IN TERMS OF PRICING STRATEGY That model was predicated on scrap heap signings (Blanton/Wang/Chris Young/Madson), being cabled together with an impressive core of arms developed internally. Hochevar was a high profile starting failure, then 6th-7th inning guy...but they obviously hit big with Herrera as a Latin American signing and then Wade Davis in the James Shields trade. Not to mention having a veteran closer in Holland. So you had only Holland who was semi-expensive, and Davis who's finally NOW getting to $10 million in his final year before hitting free agency but was a bargain at the time. That whole time, KC never had a "lock down lefty," going with guys like Tim Collins and Morales. They added Strahm this year, but Soria's high profile struggles pretty much cancelled anything he did out, and then Davis and obviously Holland were both hurt.

It's one thing when you franchise player has a season-ending injury. It's another when the cornerstone of your organization is suddenly dead. What do you do all of a sudden?

Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Kenley Jansen signing in Miami would be fantastic. It would leave Washington and LAD possibly battling over David Robertson. Mark Zuckerman today said that Nats still and interest in Robertson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Robertson could fetch a better prospect than Jarlin Garcia, especially given the lack of closers on the market or perhaps at the deadline? Garcia's upside seems limited to a back of the rotation at best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
