Posted December 16, 20195 yr [MEDIA=twitter]1206725275280662528[/MEDIA] Edit: To clarify, it is $5 million guaranteed in 2020 with a club option for 2021 worth an additional $5 million
December 17, 20195 yr Yeah ten million for just Romo is a bit much. Mish says they could get two good relievers for that price... if they actually do that I'd be happy with the bullpen.
December 17, 20195 yr Author Yeah ten million for just Romo is a bit much. Mish says they could get two good relievers for that price... if they actually do that I'd be happy with the bullpen. It’s a club option for the other 5 million. So it’s 5 million. That’s not excessive in 2020 for a guy like him. The problem is every player they allegedly have been interested in has been considered too much so far. I’m not a huge fan of Romo that thought we should get him back at any cost or anything. But he continues the trend of them “wanting a guy” and then deciding he’s too much. Enjoy your scraps that are on the way eventually.

If the option was 2 good bullpen guys for 5 million each over one guy for 10 million I'll take that. But yes they haven't done that yet either.

But yes they haven't done that yet either. But it’s apples to oranges, I do not get why Mish mentioned that even. This Romo deal is 5 million guaranteed. That was too much for Jeter so why should we think that 10 million guaranteed for two guys won’t be too much also? That wouldn’t make sense. They could’ve declined Romo’s option for 2021 or dealt him beforehand. Mish wrote that as if the full 10 was guaranteed.
December 17, 20195 yr I retract my statement... I misread it as 10 million for 2020 so it's not what I was thinking. They could have gotten Romo for 5 million and another guy for similar but they didn't.

They could have gotten Romo for 5 million and another guy for similar but they didn't. and that’s 100% the problem. You can’t say one day you want to win more and are in buy now mode and then do everything that’s basically the complete opposite of that
December 17, 20195 yr at this pace we will have Cashner and Rodney back I just hope we don't have to trade our top prospect to the Padres for them. Or would we have to trade players to the Phillies to sign guys now?
