The Royals outfield of Benintendi, Frazier and whoever should be fun next year.

 

I could see it lol

 

Clint frazier was the first prospect I ever traded for in my dynasty league. He was really good when it mattered and I hope the injuries don’t mean he has to retire.

 

Watching Wade at bats was crazy because pitchers would just pump fastballs over the plate knowing that, even if he got a hold of it, the result would be a fly out to center

 

I would gladly take clint in LF over dom smith or jd davis.

 

Absolutely not. Have you seen his defensive numbers there recently? JDD can at least hit while playing putrid defense. And Dom is family

 

755 LF innings, -11 DRS for Frazier
663 LF innings, -9 DRS for Davis

Frazier is better than his numbers cause the concussion shit clearly fucked him up in the field, but obviously his health is a big question.

Someone will definitely take a flier on him though if his health is cleared. Wouldn't shock me if the Mets did lol

 

Miggy is almost done with his 10 year extension

 

I was trying to think of one and couldn't. Completely forgot he still plays

 

Votto is another that may do it

 

Lol

Whatever, he's fine I guess. Now go get someone better

 

Let's rebuild. Unless there's some trades coming out way, I got no confidence in the Mets in 2022

 

I swear the Cards are incapable of acquiring actual pitching talent in the FA market or trades. A true Achilles heel.

 

That is way too much money to give him too, ugh. Genuinely think we got a new Leake situation on our hands.

 

150 innings of 115 ERA+ is solid, will be made better by an elite defense

 

prediction for Matz was 3 yr / 27m

4/44 is not significantly different or a significant drain on resources

 

Matz is fine. He'd probably have a spot in every rotation in baseball. The problem right now is that he's our #2-3 starter depending on whether Waino can continue to defy the aging curve or not. That's not Matz's fault, we just need more help.

And I don't love the years but meh he's only 30 and $11M/yr is fine for a guy like him

 

Also:

 

Ben Clemens at Fangraphs had Matz at 3/42
Fangraphs readers who participated in polling had him at 3/38

this is a fine deal lol

 

I think a lot of the Cards fans mad about this are forgetting what it's like to have a little extra budget. This won't be our only move. This is what the offseason can look like when you're not paying Matt Carpenter $26M to be a potato.

 

very glad to read this news
