EloyJenkins Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Robby Ray just had a cy young season in the AL east...and turned 30 last month. He is getting 25million AAV for 5-6 years. That IS the market this offseason with very few younger arms available. Edited November 9, 2021 by EloyJenkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he is a marginal FA in terms of contract and market place, not having a draft pick attached to him, it only helps his market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 If posters are already horrified of the rumored deals I think you are all in for a fun offseason. I can't remember the last time this many teams were looking to add seriously. The list below should just be read as "not sellers" Texas Seattle Detroit NYY NYM KC CWS ATL HOU LAD LAA SD SFG BOS MIL STL MIA TOR PHI Wildcards - CHC Chaotic Neutral - TB, CLE, MN Selling PIT CIN OAK COL BAL AZ I count 29 but can't figure out who i missed.

Pretty unusual to see Boras calling out a GM in such a way...while simultaneously praising him for managing his load well (preserving an "asset"). That said, with our draft luck, the compensation pick (especially a high schooler) unlikely to have much of an impact on sustaining the current window anyway.

No, if Hahn chose not to deal with them because he was nervous about Rodons shoulder/arm and then it is proved out, then Hahn is not dumb in this situation no matter how much you don't like him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, ok. Wow it's almost like I said "if Rodons arm fell off next year" as my qualifier and you changed it.

poppysox Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Hahn doesn't believe Rodon to be worth the risk at 18.4 million. I think Hahn is interested when/if the market doesn't materialize at these 20 mill numbers people are tossing around. Hahn will be interested if and when Boras wants to talk about incentive-based deals IMO. Carlos won't be the first Boras client to not get the asking price.

Bob Sacamano Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 If he signs a multi year deal then I have to classify it as a failure. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrittBurnsFan Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 So...what is a win for Rodon this offseason? Is it a 1 year deal for more than the QO would have been? Is it a 2 year deal worth $20 million? Or is it something like a 1 year deal for $10 million? I am interested to see what he gets...so much innuendo regarding his arm/shoulder/fatigue stuff! At the moment the White Sox know more about his health than any other organization...and they passed (at this point). This one is curious to me!

southsider2k5 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Honestly, the most likely scenario is that both Hahn and Boras wins here. Scotty gets him more money than the QO, but they Rodon turns in the same injury riddled seasons that he has for most of his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grinder Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I understand Hahns hesitancy in signing Rodon long term, after all hes had such injury filled career. I'm guessing a regression would be likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
