TheWatShot Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Mariners have won 12 in a row. I had no idea until I looked at the standings. It's crazy how the Mariners and Braves got so little publicity for their double-digit win streaks this year. The Padres may have started their annual second half collapse a bit early this time. 7-14 in the last 3 weeks. This is shaping up to be a classic Minnesota Twins season: win 85-88 games in a weak division and get swept in the first playoff series. Both of the Central divisions stink.

IU Scott Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Having a lot of rookie DP can be frustrating and the last two days have been that for the Reds. Today Ladolo 2IP, 5runs, 7 hits,3BB, 3HBP. 68 pitches. Green last night 5IP, 4 runs,4BB, 105 pitches. Reds pitcher are not pitch efficient at all and the last few games are walking about 7 batters a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nationals wise... thats 29 million a year. You don't think that's reasonable for him? I'm absolutely not an expert on baseball contracts, but WSH sure has a habit of not signing their talent long term. 🤷♂️ Edited July 17, 2022 by btownqb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just waiting to see what organization offers what to get him. If the perceived value of Soto is that much what will they want? 4-5 of someone's best prospects plus ??

I think it is worth pointing out that Soto is on a HoF pace. With that being said, I have no idea what a player of his caliber(and youth) would draw on today's market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of 15 years at an average of $30M per year...I'd go 6 years at $35M per year....or something along those lines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet to turn 24, on pace for 3,000 hits and 600 HRs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also be reasonable to believe that his career will hit a injury snag ahead as well. But I say he is worth the gamble and money based on the stats he has amassed thus far.
