My first thought was, "Donald Rumsfeld, you're back—and channeling our GM!" I expected Coops to start talking about the known unknowns.<br /><br />We should come up with some new word for such pronouncements. "Cashmanese"? <br /><br />Reading between the obfuscatory verbiage, though, it's clear that Coops and HAL are going to do nothing until the lockout issue is resolved, probably in December. <br /><br />In other words, all those leaks to the press implying that the Yanks were all set to open the purse strings for Carlos Correa or Corey Seager were so much disinformation to keep the fan base engaged. The Yanks aren't budging until they see what the new agreement is. <br /><br />This not altogether unreasonable, but it hardly constitutes a plan. More like another two months—at least—of wait and see.<br />HoraceClarke66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16965472730239358589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-24415106878877908972021-10-25T11:58:11.691-04:002021-10-25T11:58:11.691-04:00"Hey, how about those Giants?

Just asking."<br /><br />JM: <br /><br />Actually they did resign him and then traded him. It was a good move. <br /><br />From Peter King today:<br /><br />"Odell Beckham Jr.’s last touchdown catch came 55 weeks ago on the road against the Cowboys. Since then: eight games, 360 snaps, zero touchdowns.<br /><br />First three years in the NFL (Giants): 45 games, 35 touchdown receptions.<br />Last three years in the NFL (Browns, with a half-season left this year): 28 games, 7 touchdown receptions.<br /><br />With the trading deadline next Tuesday, it’s logical to wonder if Beckham can be had. I’m sure he could—but would you want a player who has been hurt a lot, turns 29 in two weeks, isn’t the explosive player for whatever reason he once was, and is owed $36 million between now and the end of the 2023 season, when his contract expires? Would you even want to adjust that contract significantly?"Doug K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18127860664631924576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-7315013208100851352021-10-25T11:56:43.927-04:002021-10-25T11:56:43.927-04:00Brilliant, Duque!

After he deliberately built and encouraged a team that was not about making contact. <br /><br />Whaaat? How the hell does he possibly expect this specially selected group of fence-swinging meatballs to start just making contact? <br /><br />It's like buying a bunch of giraffes and telling them to become meat-eaters.

You might get some A level players who are 19 and will be working (or maybe working) at some car wash in 3 years. If you pay half of Chapman's salary, you might get something back. Time to look at what a Judge return would be and then start the tear down and rebuild. The Dodgers and the Bronx Bummers have proven that spending $$$ doesn't get you anywhere, it's time to develop some fucking players.Celerino Sanchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09368801946265579565noreply@blogger.com
