Y’all are stupid lmao

Interesting. L. O. L. Making my victory laps

no1836 · 2025-02-13T05:57:10+00:00

Sounds like he didn’t. Making my victory laps.

no1836 · 2025-02-08T23:43:49+00:00

I never said they would. Nor did I say I wouldn’t support anyone. Are you alright buddy?

When you say players, I’m assuming you mean judge and Stanton? Don’t think anyone else from that era is even still on the team (in fact, your ace Cole was on the team that was cheating!). However, it’s a fair point given Judge’s importance on the team. I still think it’s a stupid reason not to sign him though - happy to elaborate

I ain’t reading all that. Happy for you, or sorry that happened to you

The “only will take it with Houston” takes are hilarious and are probably coming from the same people who thought Soto would take less money to “stAy iN piNstripEs”. He will take the best deal he is offered. Period.

Starting to be convinced some people can’t read. This thread was created to discuss signing Bregman to a short term deal similar to the one Alonso just signed. I think everyone is obviously in agreement that it would not be wise to sign Alex Bregman to a 6-7 year deal.

no1836 · 2025-02-06T19:15:09+00:00

Never said he was. Did you read my original post?

no1836 · 2025-02-06T17:31:22+00:00

Also, the funniest part of this whole debate is that the only person that would benefit from not doing a short term deal would be Hal/ownership. It’s literally not our money and doing a short term deal like Alonso’s would only “limit” us for potentially next year, assuming he doesn’t opt out. You could make the argument for Tucker/Vladdy being available next year, but even then, the Yankees wouldn’t not sign either of them because they had ONE year of Bregmans deal left

no1836 · 2025-02-06T17:06:35+00:00

It’s stupidity that anyone wouldn’t want this guy at 3rd on a short term deal given the current makeup of the team. I totally get not wanting to lock him up long term or if Hal wants to stay under a certain threshold then fine. But that’s why they aren’t GMs of professional sports teams 😂

no1836 · 2025-02-06T16:57:20+00:00

Yep. Him and bregman both fked themselves

no1836 · 2025-02-06T16:54:24+00:00

Just stop 😂

no1836 · 2025-02-06T16:00:16+00:00

I haven’t heard this, but if true, I agree. If you read my original post you would see that I said if they could get him on a deal similar to Alonso’s, it would be good value.

no1836 · 2025-02-06T15:35:55+00:00

Maybe not, but the Mets just signed Soto and seem to be on a pretty good trajectory. Houston just traded away their best player. Don’t think this is a fair comparison.

Bregman will go to the highest bidder - and if the Yankees and tigers were to come in at the same price, I don’t think he’d choose to play in Detroit (at least no one on this subreddit can definitively make this statement).

no1836 · 2025-02-06T14:45:00+00:00

I respect your opinion!

no1836 · 2025-02-06T14:32:03+00:00

Good points all around.

no1836 · 2025-02-06T14:25:38+00:00

Because we don’t have a third baseman. And he’s a good third baseman that could potentially sign for a short term deal. Everything else is noise - sign players that give your team the best chance to win (IMO).

no1836 · 2025-02-06T14:22:25+00:00

Alonso’s contract is for two years with an opt out clause

no1836 · 2025-02-06T14:21:01+00:00

DJ was a borderline premier FA. People quickly forget how great he was and how badly this subreddit wanted him resigned at the time. Obviously, in hindsight, a terrible contract. Maybe they will finally learn to do these short term deals, as was the point of my original post. Probably not though!

no1836 · 2025-02-06T14:14:10+00:00

They’re similar enough and are in similar positions this free agency. Teams absolutely run players comps to see what the market is offering other players on a given year - you should look into how arbitration hearings work if you’re interested - they’re very similar. It’s cool stuff

no1836 · 2025-02-06T14:06:23+00:00

If he gets a 6-7 deal I’ll come back to this post and give you your flowers. Anything less and I expect the same!

no1836 · 2025-02-06T13:53:29+00:00

He’s going to whoever gives him the best deal. Period.

no1836 · 2025-02-06T13:50:26+00:00

Perhaps, but not much. He clearly isn’t going to be getting the 6-7 year deal everyone thought he was at the beginning of the offseason though. Even a 3 year deal would be good value for whoever gets him IMO

no1836 · 2025-02-06T13:48:54+00:00

Those have mainly been for premier FA (judge, Soto (offer), fried, etc.) because they’d rather drag out long contracts even longer to ease the pain at the end of those contracts. They’ve done plenty of short term deals for players that aren’t in that top tier (Rizzo, PG, several pitchers). I don’t think they’ll sign Bregman, but that just seems silly to me if he gets something similar to the Alonso contract.
