SoCalChiSox Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Rabbit, hearing anything new today? The continuing lack of acknowledgement of Yolmer's release absent some other deal is very bizarre. I wonder how long they are gonna wait for whatever it is they are working on to be finalized. They have to say something. I'd really like to see Wheeler done but the closer it gets to winter meetings I think Wheeler's agents will prolly decide to see what happens there.

BackDoorBreach Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 They probably haven't announced Yolmer because Jerry wants to give him his money, just not 6 million of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was YOlmer really that much of a "fan favorite"? I mean, he won a gold glove and if the "fanbase" loves him so much, maybe they are trying to figure out a way for this not to look bad to casual fans who watch for the gatorade bucket shenanigans. I dunno. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there evidence for this? I've only heard about how loyal the org has been, to a fault, nothing about burnt bridges for a million here or there. The "snitty for less money" thing sounds like the Astros or some comparable team on the other end of the spectrum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) Unless they were willing to overpay by 10-15%...$110-115 million, and nobody else was within $5-7.5 million...why wouldn’t Wheeler at least wait until the Winter Meetings? You might even argue that waiting for the really big spending teams to miss out on Cole or Strasburg helps his case even more...let’s say the Nats know they won’t be able to keep Rendon on a 7 year deal, so they go all-in on Stras. The other teams then losing out on Cole (or unwilling to go cray cray like LA under Friedman so far or even the Yankees recently, or Astros) are going to immediately set their sights on Wheeler, if they haven’t already. Now you can make the argument those playoff ready teams with deep pockets might be more willing to give Bumgarner or Ryu bigger money for fewer years...Wheeler’s lack of overall wear and tear on his arm and relatively young status make him the obvious choice for anyone willing to go at least five years at $20-25 million. Still seems likely that at least one of Ryu and Bumgarner remain in the NL...could argue the same for Hamels as well. There’s also a lot of logic to one of Cole or Strasburg going back to Southern California, either Dodgers, Angels, Padres or possibly SFG.

That's about right. Yolmer would be a kids fan favorite because of his fun loving attitude. Not sure about many adults loving him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
