Bacon Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Man, we are going for the throat.  This roster is a HUGE responsibility for Martinez and I'm concerned about his capacity to rise to the occasion, but it is what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) $60m/yr between Harper and Rendon would make it real tough to operate. I can’t see both. But I’d give Rendon $163m immediately if Harper signs elsewhere. Edited January 10, 2019 by skinsfan_1215 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearrock Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 It's not my money, but Harper or no Harper, I'd give that contract to Rendon right now without hesitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 who said on here that he would get 200 + lol.  I told you no one values Rendon as much as we do.  7/150 is more than enough for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I'd happily give Rendon $150 Mil. He's not as good as Altuve but he's just a notch below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 21 hours ago, StillUnknown said:  Thats how it usually works in deals that big. All agents try to set their guys up to reenter the market if its advantageous  Kinda hoping Stras balls out and decides to use his opt out. I would feel better if his money went to a more reliable starter.  Was talking about this with a couple of my dudes at work yesterday. It was a sports psychology discussion.  I told him how I just knew after Kuzy started playing for the Caps that a cup was going to happen at some point. Kuzy has a killer instinct. Not sure Ovi had it until last year, but Kuzy has always had it. He loves that ****.  Not sure the Nats have THAT dude outside of Max, who has limited influence on a game that he isn't starting in. But the guy everyone brought up was Stras and his propensity to be soft.  Soto has a chance to be that guy. And even having that guy doesn't guarantee a championship, but it certainly helps.

StillUnknown Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I dont think i would go as far as to label Steas soft, i just think the allocation of funds could be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Philly sucks. Who wants to be bombarded with cheese steaks, and and endless array of tryhard Rocky-isms? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I just don't see Harper leaving DC to go to Philly of all places unless their offer is just absurd. Its probably a lateral move in terms of roster/win probabilities and its too close by. It'd be like making a big deal finally moving out of your parents house only to move into a house across the street. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I kind of what to see Manny in Philly so we can have the battle of two young studs in the same division along with Freddie Freeman in Atl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to pitch 14 innings against the Cubs in the playoffs and give up 0 earned runs if you are mentally soft. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 its a last ditch effort by Boras to push Nats offer up against themselves.  They are bidding against no one.  Lerner isn't a idiot.  He put the highest offer out there already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
