I see it as the exact opposite. When you consider the s ops of what Minasian has done this off season the only logical conclusion is they’ll add starting pitching. 

If that is your conclusion, then why hasn't he done that? There is plenty of surplus budget and every day he waits means both the player targeted would sign elsewhere and wouldn't be ready to play to start the season.

Logic says he isn't in the market because he isn't.

He hasn't signed with any of the 30 GM's. Guess he's just not gonna pitch.

By your logic no team will sign him then?

Because he wants Snell or Montgomery.

Beginning to think that Heyman sucking up to Boras is akin to Roger Lodge and Moreno.

Since Arte doesn't really do the opt out thing, I don't see us signing any one of the remaining top guys.  They're all likely in short term, high aav, opt out contract territory this late in the game.  

Usually Boras gets a couple teams to bite on something close to what would be considered near his target comp for these guys.  

Surprising it's been complete crickets.  

While I don't disagree that it's ultimately on the player to make a decision, the fact that they're all still out there except bellinger tells me that he misjudged the market.  

1 or 2 guys still left?  fine.  But I think a decent chunk of this one is on the agent.

I hate him so so much...  

I didn't even say the 'Snell pace' pun and I am still catching fire. I better take shellter.

TIL 43% = no way. Seems closer to 50-50 to me than it does to 0....

It's more likely that Snell and Montgomery not signing prevents Clevinger, Lorenzen, and the scraps like Cueto from signing because there aren't suitors (that missed out on the big 2) and the price hasn't been set.

Love seeing the owners staying firm with him for a change.

Getting nervous yet, Boras and Boras Four?

chances he'll be released before march 10? >50%

[jsnpritchett]

Really hope the Angels aren't in on this type of deal.

 

[tdawg87]

Simply take a 1 year, 30 million deal. Then you don't have to opt out.

Heyman (Boras) is baiting Arte so hard. Gross.

Boras wants them to get into a bidding war with the Yankees. 

[drpiranha]

I don't think anyone would give him a 1 year deal or an opt out after1 year when it's going to cost you a 2nd round draft choice.
