bearrock Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Looks like teams are dropping out of the race for Rendon a bit. So probably Rangers, Angels, and us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or could be like Robinson Cano situation where some random team like the Mariners comes out of nowhere and pays a massive amount. I'm hearing the White Sox really want to land a big star.

NoVaSkins21 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Fact is the best win now situation for Rendon is here where he has just done it. The question is whether he wants continue doing it or be somewhere where he's the complete face of a team that's wants to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 This one hurts more than Harper, even though Harper went to the Phillies and Rendon is headed to the AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Don't really think Rendon is worth that much imo. hes great but 2019 was his best year yet. i really can't see him doing this multiple times. any 7 year deal with him would be really a 4 year deal. i have way more confidence in stras producing at the end of his deal than tony. Garcia and Kieboom hopefully could replace Tony soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they let Rendon go to save 10-15 mil in salary+lux tax, they are flittering away the post WS potential for growing the fanbase and cementing their hold on the town. In two consecutive years they will have let their best hitter walk out the door. Signing a 34 yr Donaldson to a 3/75, 4/100 deal would be doubling down on that mistake. Terrible decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichmondRedskin88 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Our WS MVP just had his contract structured for Rendon and even appealed to him. I mean if the teammates appealing to him along with them structuring just so he will stay isn’t enough then move on. Rizzo can hopefully work some magic but we shouldn’t completely destroy our finances for him. He is clearly chasing his up front money and he’s seeing dollar signs first.

Warhead36 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Holy crap, thats a ton of coin. Good for him though, he deserves it. Im happy for him. He gets paid and he helped us win a title. He’ll always be a DC legend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Cheaper and fewer years than Arenado and we couldn't get it done? We failed. Extend Soto tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, what have the Rockies won with Arenado and that big contract? Like I said before, its very difficult to win when you pay one player that much money.

bearrock Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Totally ridiculous. In a sports without a salary cap, they're gonna let the best hitter on the team leave over 5 mil a year difference? When Stras took 80 mil in deferred money to help resign him? Then they're going to either hand over 3rd base to a rookie or go sign a 34 year old for 3-4 years AND pay the qualifying offer penalty???? All to avoid 20% penalty on the luxury tax after raking in all that money from the WS???? OMG.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 **** it, I'd go youth movement. Play Kieboom and start extending guys now. Don't bother with Donaldson, just make sure we have our young stars locked down into their 30s. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Let this be a lesson. They could have extended Rendon two offseasons ago for $160m. They could have done so last offseason for around $200m. One fault of the Lerners (they have several) is they don’t seem to want to be proactive about contracts for their players or coaches. Soto is going to get a massive contract and hit FA at 25. We should be able to sign him to a 3-4 year extension any time in exchange for more money early in his contract. No excuse for putting it off until it’s too late. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I trust Mike Rizzo. People fumed when we let Harper go too. Players come and go, but good management means sustained success. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSkins21 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Should've kept him, but they made their bed when they said they could only afford one guy. Absolutely the wrong thing to say, but it is what it is. Don't know how they'll replace his production and defense which is the bigger issue. I guess they're banking on Donaldson or something else at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
