The stove is getting hot

[Jammer36]

The Trout contract is looking better every day..

[Tank]

i wonder how much players like ruth, gehrig, and greenburg would have been worth in their prime.

[Reveille1984]

Pretty great deal for the M's.  They'll have him for his prime years and at way under market value.  3B is probably the thinnest position in baseball right now as well.

Overpaid IMO

yeah seems pretty good considering the crazy market right now.

[NrM]

Overpaid IMO

 

meh he's compiled 12.8 fWAR over the last 3 years, which is the same as Joey Votto and ahead of Evan Longoria.

He also had arbitration years left.

 

Sandoval got more and he only managed a 7.9 WAR in that time. He's also fat and a big injury risk.

Overpaid IMO

 

Lol what?

 

He was just worth 5.5 WAR (According to Fangraphs) ... at 3B ... in the American League .... in Seattle. 

 

Overweight, 28 year old Pablo Sandoval just signed with the Red Sox 5/100 ... how is Seager anything remotely close to an overpay?

[m0nkey]

Fair deal

[T.G.]

I'm with Rev1984... given the lack of quality third basemen, this is a great deal for Seattle.

[Angel Oracle]

Who will ultimately have the better career.

Kyle or his brother Corey?

Corey.

 

Not that Kyle's career has been or will be bad. Corey is just the superior talent.

 

Which sucks, cuz he's a Dodger.

Corey.

Pretty bold prediction since Kyle is already an allstar and top 15-20 everyday player.

 

Damn.. the dodgers farm is looking pretty good. 

Not sure about their depth, but they have 3 of the top 25 prospects in Seager, Urias and Pederson

That's what they said about Jarrod Fryman and I don't even know if he ever played minor league ball.

[Brent Maguire]

Good deal. 14.3 AAV for 3 arb years and 4 FA years. He's about a 4-5 WAR 3B, which isn't easy to find at all.

what? i like seager, but he's a top 20 mlb player?

[Inside Pitch]

Way too early to predict when it comes to Corey vs Kyle.  If you look at their numbers, Corey's already at about the same number of minor league plate appearances as Kyle before Kyle got called up to the big show.  

 

Kyle only had to play 24 games at AAA before they knew he was good enough to play in Seattle.  Maybe Corey will be the same when/if he plays AAA to start this year in the Dodgers' organization.  We'll see. 

I agree, too early to make those sorts of comparisons..   But it's worth pointing pointing out that Corey at 20 years old is 3 years younger than Kyle when he was in AA... They both seem like locks to have very good careers.

[Butcher'd]

Good deal. But the last 3 days show why the Angels won't be participating in the free agent market this offseason. Upgrades are going to have to come through trade.

[NrM]

Yea I probably overreached a little.

def top 30 though

[ten ocho recon scout]

Great deal, IMO. Seager is a very good young player. It all comes down to market value. The lack of 3B makes the few good ones very valuable.

Good for seattle. (And i hope they continue to suck...no offense cez)

[Second Base]

Panda is older, has weight concerns and isn't quite as good as Seager but they'll be making roughly the same amount of money.

Well played Seattle.
