He would get the same offers as TA were he a FA coming off 2023. But point well taken. Get your money while the timing is right like Carlos Rodon. Look at how much Hendriks TA7 Eloy Moncada Kopech Giolito Grandal Lynn etc. have lost in value... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s face it, Benintendi would not have been in the “Benintendi market” if it wasn’t for Hahn’s incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Will the Marlin's finally sign him? I wonder what kind of shape Tim is keeping himself in. I can't believe he'll remain unsigned unless there are some really scary skeletons in his closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combine his negative WAR along with his personal issues that showed up on field and it's not surprising to me at all, considering guys with personal issues who are or could be good (Bauer & Clevinger) are also still without jobs.

Not accurate to compare the Bauer, Clevinger situations with Tim. Dozens if not hundreds of players in every professional sport leagues have marital issues / infidelities. Far less have domestic violence accusations with filed criminal complaints. Tim’s on field production was very strong until the injuries and some would say the marital issues of the last season and a half.

pcq Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 By the time Tim saw his career flame out it was too late. His demos don't always inspire second chances like a guaranteed deal. Hope he is working out somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I’d think he’d get a non-roster invite offer from some teams that need a second baseman, similar to a Kevin Pillar type contract. Make the team, get 3 mil. Then it’s up to him to play his way into the lineup everyday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Bauer and Clevinger were accused of is worse, but they have been successful in the past and recently. Tim had a putrid year and got knocked out on the field after starting s%*# with someone who is a pretty nice guy by all accounts. Not even talking about the infidelity. They're all too much trouble for what they bring. Edited February 6 by almagest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 @almagest makes a great point. I think it's scale. Criminal charges after being manipulated into choking someone until they pass out seems like a different scale. But this may be where MLB teams are drawing the line. Multiple domestic situations might be too toxic for modern media driven entertainment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These really aren’t comparable situations at all, especially Bauer. TAs issues getting signed are because he was a god awful player last season and isn’t really a SS.

The talking heads were phenomenal live. The other one off the top of my head that was drastically better live was the Ramones. They played everything at 3 times the normal speed. It was something like 25 songs in 40 minutes the last time I saw the. Throw in Blondie and there's nothing better than the old CBGBs lineup. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TA would 100% have a deal already if he wasn’t a potential behavior liability. Someone would bet on a return to form, or the Sox would’ve picked his option up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
