Mickey Mantis Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Per MLB Trade Rumors: http://dlvr.it/7rsNgx I agree and only see this happening if Haren retires/traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 So now I for sure hope Haren retires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I am sending Haren a La-Z-Boy. Retire Dan, hang em up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 This could also hint towards Eovaldi being dealt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dim Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 This could also hint towards Eovaldi being dealt. Nah. If Haren retires the rotation becomes Alvarez Latos Cosart Peavy Eovaldi Unless the front office feels confident in Koehler being our #5 to start the season AND feel good with our backup options of Hand/Nicolino/whoever, I'd say we need Eovaldi. Koehler becomes one hell of an insurance policy for any pitchers getting injured/performing poorly while also being incredibly useful in the bullpen until then. Again, this is all under the assumption that Haren retires, and given the circumstances we shouldn't be expecting him to pitch in Miami even if decides to play again anyway (he'll be traded to the West Coast without a doubt).

SilverBullet Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 This makes me think Haren is either close to a decision, close to being dealt, or is being pushed by the Marlins to make his decision sooner rather than later. If Peavy is suddenly attracting more interest he won't be a free agent for long. And if our push for him is dependent on Haren he'd better hurry it up because Peavy isn't gonna wait forever once he gets an offer he likes.

Admin Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Just sign Peavy, gamble that Haren retires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimaKilo Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 If he doesn't, we can always trade him to a west coast team for a decent bullpen arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Moral of story: Just sign Peavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Well he's off the market. 2/24 with San Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Seems like a price we could have done. I hope Haren's indecisiveness didn't hurt us here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollythewog Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Peavey got a NTC. Fish wouldn't and shouldn't of done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Plus if the dollars were equal or close, odds are he would choose San Fran anyway. He's close with Bochy. We would've had to overpay to get him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 True, looks more like a preference for him. And thats fine. But Haren needs to get on the ball already. Probably waiting to see what Mathis gets him for Christmas and make his decision off that. "WTF? A $10 Starbucks gift card? Forget it Jeff, I'm retiring!"

Admin Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 If this is Loria's idea of spending after that backloaded Stanton contract, I'm disappointed. How is it Loria's fault? Paying Peavy anything more than that would be an overpay and FYI, it'd have to be substantially more for him to leave San Fran probably. 2/25 wouldn't do it. We're talking maybe 2/30+. It doesn't make sense to throw money around just to throw it around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make sense to throw money around just to throw it around it does if you made it a point that money was going to spent on new players. every move that's been made so far has been structured so payroll doesn't increase at all. and they saved a few mil over the next 2 seasons with the Stanton contract.

SilverBullet Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Loria never absolutely said payroll would increase. He said we would be a more competitive team and for a longer sustained time. Its like if this team had Stanton, Kershaw, King Felix, and Trout and we found a way to make the payroll stay under $70 million people would be upset that the payroll is so low. Who cares what the payroll is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why is that bad? Does spending more money for the sake of spending money actually equal more wins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Morse being paid with imaginary money? He tried to sign Headley and Peavy. Paying more than they got would be dumb. I know some people fixate on payroll but it'd be dumb.
