7/13/2023 0 Comments Jacob amaya college commitment![]() ![]() He thought the Dodgers could “fix him.” They did! What we are seeing is guy who suddenly has been taught how to pitch within himself. Tyler Anderson – He wanted to be a Dodger.Frankly, I think Trea Turner is as good as gone… unless his desire is to play in LA and have a chance at winning every year. Let the Farm System produce! RELOAD! Bogarts or Muncy can play 3B or 2B, but if Lux cannot handle SS, then it all flies out the window. To me, it does not make sense to pay Trea Turner $400 Million… or anything close to that! In another year, Digo Cartaya and Andy Pages will be close to ready. He would hit about the same as Trea Turner. I think he could command an 8 Year/ $200 million Contract. His bat will play, but his glove is not primetime. Plan B could be Gavin Lux at SS with Jacob Amaya as a “Great Field-No Hit Option” (I don’t really mean “no hit.” Part of that plan could be to sign Xander Bogaerts to play 2B or 3B. He is hitting, and his power is starting to develop! He is playing with purpose and confidence! This is the Gavin Lux many fans envisioned. Gavin Lux is really developing into his role as a second baseman. Jacob Amaya could be the defensive replacement, but I am not convinced that he will hit. Gavin Lux maybe that guy, but I am not convinced. I am not convinced that Gavin Lux can play SS – I am also not saying that he can’t, but would the Dodgers really let Trea walk and not 100% believe that they have the solution “in-house?” The Rays and Marlins would both benefit from him… but would they really do it? However, there are other options. Maybe he takes that and moves back to Florida. What I mean by that is to sign him to a 10-year $400 Million Dollar Deal, but pay him $150 million in the first three years and let him opt out after three years. The Dodgers, however, could “front load” a deal with an “opt-out” after three years. The Phillies, Nats, Marlins, Rays, Red Sox, Yankees, et al., could be involved. ![]() Now, for all we know, Turner wants to go back to the East Coast. If someone is offering it, someone should take it.īased upon what Lindor and Seager made, if Trea Turner signs with the Dodgers, it will have to be for ten years and close to $400 million to be equal to (actually slightly better) than Seager or Lindor. Maybe Jeff Dominique can figure that out… oh wait, he’s not here anymore! You can call it greedy, but that is real money. I am not an accountant, but I heard that Seager would have had to make about $375 Million from the Dodgers to equal what he makes from the Rangers. Trea Turner is going to get paid a lot more than either Seager or Lindor!Ĭalifornia has a higher tax rate than Texas (by far). Trea Turner is better than either of those players. The Rangers signed Corey Seager for ten years at $325 Million, and the Mets signed Francisco Lindor for ten years and $341 Million. I think that right about now, Trea Turner is the best SS in baseball. A lot of Dodger fans have postulated that the Dodgers should “ just extend Trea Turner” right about now, like “ just push a button,” and he will be extended. ![]()
