If EE has actually signed with HOU, then I really hope Fowler is signed ++ another bat to replace Bautista+EE.

In fact I would like Fowler + Bautista

Are you just going to post this every hour on the hour? Seriously I've read you post this like 5 times already. I'm starting to get the feeling this is just automated scheduled posts like you can schedule tweets on twitter

Nowhere did I say that Edwin rejected that offer, which I am almost certain did not exist. I simply stated that if Trumbo is going to sign for $70-80M, then Edwin getting over $100M is not unrealistic.

He's not getting over a 100 million. Please stop.

Who is going to offer him this?

Cleveland? Who is poor
Baltimore? Which is still in on Trumbo big time
NYY? Who already signed Holiday
Houston? Who already signed Beltran, Reddick and traded for McCann
Boston??? Who already said they are out
Texas??? Said the same thing going internal, and want Moreland back

Who is going to give him 100 million

He is vastly superior today, but over the course of a ~4 year contract the outcome likely isn't as disparaging as you think it is due to Trumbo's age advantage. You aren't signing these players and receiving their value over the past 4 years; you are receiving future value.

Sure, but Trumbo's entering his age-31 season, so he should be expected to decline soon as well. His second half of 2016 probably won't help either.

My oh my. I am going to slow this down a bit. Nowhere did I say that Edwin is getting $100M. I was merely using the "If Trumbo gets x, then Edwin could get Y" to compare the two players. Since you apparently see more value in Mark "DINGERZ" Trumbo than Edwin. Edwin is more valuable than Trumbo, it is not hard to see that.

apparently chapman wants a 6 year contract
Click to expand...

i just spoke to aroldis chapman about his contract negotiations; told me he has not evaluated any offers yet and will do so this week. Chapman: "the only thing i have expressed is that i would like a six-year contract. i know that doesn't mean that i will get it, but that's what i would like to sign. there are rumors out there that i requested $100 million and that's not true at all. I believe he who deserves something, does not need to demand it."

aroldis chapman to me on whether the cubs have reached out: "the cubs have never expressed any interest in resigning me, as far as i know."

How did we "lose"? We extracted all of EE's best years at peanut-prices and will receive a 1st round pick for a 34 year old bat-only player who will almost certainly not live up to whatever contract he ends up signing.

You mean when the team was awful and we spent whole games doing nothing but bagging on Corey Patterson and Juan Rivera?

Those were the days :laugh:

If we sign Edwin right now and I'm not sure we'd have enough money left to field an outfield with 2 studs like Patterson and Rivera

But lets not forget when Jose Molina had that triple! Or when Corey Patterson had that walk-off homer! Or when Juan Rivera hit that magical homer in Texas! Or lastly, when John McDonald hit that walk-off homer! Let's not forget that 2010 team either, just remember all those dingerz...

You are right, Nem. Those truly were the days :sarcasm:

Morales and Pearce very likely out-produce Encarnacion on a smaller per-year cost. Morales alone hit the ball harder than Encarnacion last season and actually made better contact within the strike zone.

Nobody is running around the Rogers Centre with bald head wigs of Happ tho..It's the parrot......

Don't get me wrong Happ played out of his mind last year, excellent...but Edwin is the fan fave....
