[@mike-vq8zw]

I watched him in San Diego while he was here, I swear he did it with mirrors. He lives on the edge and you can only expect five innings from him, anything more than that is bonus. He's not worth the money once you really dig into his numbers. I will say this about him though, he's a really cool guy and a great interview. The fans in San Diego loved him for his personality but we're definitely not paying much attention to his actual numbers. In spite of his skill I think he was extremely lucky in 2023. Whoever signs him will regret it.

[@justinlast2lastharder749]

Snell has HUGE Question Marks. He's only even pitched 180 Innings Twice in his career of 8 years and his ERA+ has only been "Ace Level" twice...he won Cy Youngs in both those years...but 2 out of 8 years, with the remaining 6 having Total Innings either under 100 or just under 130 Innings. That's not a pitcher you Pay Top Dollar and Long Term. You have a 1 in 4 chance of a Cy Young, and 3 in 4 chance of him pitching less than 130 innings with a slightly above average ERA +.

[@MaverickTomcat69]

Really good insight!

[@SputnikRSS1]

Simple solution to this is to find a team in the league that isn't obsessed with pitch count and let the man continue to pitch past the 6th and guess what his innings pitched wil go up! To bad everyone is stuck on pitch count these days but at least it's keeping the arms safe and nobody has to get tommy john anymore LOL.

[@elcee3292]

He gets to 100 pitches pretty quick. He's at 100 pitches by the 6th almost every game. They let him go to 7th if under 100

That’s why he will more than likely sign with a team for less than even he thought he would get.

And this is why I'm happy it's taken so long for the Boras agents to sign and I hope they don't get what they're asking for because it is always insane and massively overpaid, Snell wanting 200 million is insane for a guy who outside of the 2 Cy Young seasons hasn't been nearly a player worth 200 million dollars for the rest of his career, there was a rumor a few weeks ago that Bellinger was also looking for a 200 million dollar contract and a lot of baseball talk I've seen for some reason puts Montgomery near 200 million and it just doesn't make any sense given his history, players shouldn't get way overpaid because of a great year or one great postseason run but you just know Boras is using that to try and get teams to sign these 3 dudes to 200 million dollar contracts and it makes me so happy that no team has bit the bullet and I hope no one does, they need the teams more than the teams need them if they want to get paid, Snell and Montgomery shouldn't get any more than 125-150 million dollar contracts at most and Bellinger should settle for another prove it year before he even sniffs a long term deal.

I think, just like the Japanese players, there should be a "window" within which a player must sign, and if they don't sign before the deadline, and the "window closes", they should be required to return to their old team and accept the "qualifying offer" they turned down. With a deadline like this, negotiations would become more serious and more urgent, with no "holding out" indefinitely in the hope of more money or more years.

[@Imugi007]

It's definitely been a boring off-season after the dodgers spent big. The next biggest news was the Sale/Grissom trade and that's not exactly a blockbuster trade. A washed up pitcher and a prospect that failed miserably last season with the multiple chances the braves tried to give him. He was horrible on defense with errors every time he was on the field and less than mediocre at the plate.

They should have performance based contracts solely because of players like Snell, actually not sure why all contracts aren’t performance based with better incentives for better play.

Because sports aren’t like normal people jobs. There’s too much money involved to basically use the honor system for multi million dollar salaries.

[@williamfischer3990]

I remember a few years ago a GM saying if he could he would sign every player on his team to a one year deal. With pitchers that statement in my opinion has the most meaning. Teams are looking at Blake and thinking their are to many variables to give him the contract that he wants. They are 100% correct if you watch him pitch, numbers don’t tell the whole story.

[@TK0_23_]

In 2023 Snell pitched 7 innings 3 times, not once. In those 3 games his line was: 21.0 5 1 1 9 31 0.43 Snell had the most walks last year and the best h/9. He is also one of the best at not giving up homeruns over his career at 0.9 per 9 ip. One of a handful.of players under 1.0 in the last 5 or 6 years.

[@markeschen]

There were two teams very willing to throw $$$ at Snell - the Yankees and Giants. Both balked at whatever Boras asked for and went with plan B (or perhaps in the Giants case, plan D or E). Now it's looking like he might land in Anaheim of all places. Not sure who I feel worse for if that happens, Anaheim or Snell.

[@michaeld808s]

Literally haven’t heard any team besides the Yankees linked to Snell

[@kenmmcnatt]

So just looking at his traditional stats it seems as though Snell is one of two things: A Cy Young winner with MVP votes or "meh". At most I'd give him one year with perhaps a second year team option. Not giving him a lot for the likelihood of finding something else like it for cheaper. Pay one year for the potential, and if it's "meh" let him go. If he's tops again, I can get him for another year.

[@j.d.8160]

Snell went to the 7th inning once last year, hes not 30 mill a year pitcher. I think the teams that could afford him are set. Maybe Giants or Cards will throw him an offer.

The rumour is that the Yankees offered Blake Snell $150 million over 5 years, but Blake wanted more money and/or more years. It looks like Mr. Snell is playing "hard to get," which might backfire.

[@TheChosennn]

Look at his years when he’s not winning a Cy Young. He’s average at best. He’s never thrown over 130 innings except during his cy young seasons and even when he had Cy Young seasons, he threw 180 innings. He walked 99 guys in 2023, which was the most in Major League Baseball by a lot. That’s also a major concern. Plus, he’s asking for way too many years. Imo he’s not worth it

[@thisguy8106]

He's looking for way too many years and too much money. He turned down 150 million from what I've read.. That's crazy.

Snell doesn’t pitch deep into games and rarely goes over 150 IP. On top of that he’s 30. Teams are already hesitant to invest long term into pitchers. That’s why there aren’t a lot of buyers for Snell. He’s a bad contract waiting to happen.

[@justinlast2lastharder749]

Here's a deal for Snell: 5 years, 17m guaranteed per season. Depending on performance, could go as high as 32m per season (innings pitched, war, post season performance, Cy young votes etc). After de 3rd season, he can opt out every off-season.

[@Alan-rw3ez]

that isn’t the going market per year man. 2 cy young’s means the AAV needs to be much higher.

[@hiramnoone]

Nobody's worth the kind of money Snell's demanding. Not having what anyone would call an "iron man" history, he may be the only two time Cy Young award winner to never have thrown more than 180 innings in his career. Good pitcher certainly, but a great one deserving a contract exceeding the GDP of a medium sized country? I don't think so.

Snell is great. He’s a competitor. His walks have always been an “issue” but it’s mainly because he isn’t willing to just throw a ball to get him over. He’d rather give a walk, than to serve an easy strike to the hitter. Like you said, he doesn’t get hit too hard. He’s been able to pitch around the walks because his stuff is good. He’s got great playoff appearance. I still remember him dominating with the rays against LA when he was for some reason pulled by the manager. He’s a solid ace. Maybe a 2 for some teams but he’s definitely an ace for most.

[@nicolasbaker9601]

In baseball circles we talk about so much money all of the time that we forget that even a fraction of these contracts would change anybodies life forever.

It might have something to do with he and his agent's 200 million dollar asking price

[@roseberrytreeservice6712]

Dodgers will absolutely love him 💙

[@TripleAAA_]

You already know who the Yankees signed last offseason lol

[@JakeNaughtFromStateFarm]

Don’t forget the fact that there are teams that refuse to deal with Scott Boras.

[@thewonk8142]

Dude, I love Blake Snell. Send his butt to the Tigers just putting it out there.

[@crazylegs1823]

Bauer was awesome when he pitched for the Dodgers.

[@AvocatDude]

This is the first time I’m hearing he was offered $150 million for five years by the Yankees. Really hard to believe he turned that down.

[@Ibhenriksen]

I'd laugh so hard if the Angels sign Snell. They might as well have kept Ohtani with those deferred payments.

[@TheHaloRed]

That would be such an Arte thing. But I think after Rendon, he's finally done giving bad contracts. But they have been linked to Bellinger, another Boras client, which scares me.

[@KazeShikamaru]

It's easy. His walks are a concern. He almost had 100 walks last season. Eho wants to pay for a walk machine?

[@rawkusrex]

lets be honest here... they just dont want him at his asking price AND/OR the amount of years for his age

[@Temptazer]

i hope the mariners really consider picking him up. ik we just had the disaster in robbie ray, but with their pitching coaches they can really get his command dialed in and as long as he continues to be healthy he could get another cy young under his belt

[@justinlast2lastharder749]

Noooo. He has only had two good years. Other than his two Cy Youngs, he averages 105 innings pitches per year with a 109 rounded up ERA +.

[@nicolasbaker9601]

Nah we need bats. I agree that he'd be sick to have in a 6 man rotation but I'd be bummed if we spent the little bit of $ we have on something that we kinda already have a surplus of.

[@Temptazer]

@@nicolasbaker9601 LA took pretty much every bat on the market, if we want a bat we're gonna have to make a couple trades (....randy) in terms of writing a contract, this is the guy I really want to see in navy blue

[@nicolasbaker9601]

@@Temptazer there's still some good bats, it's just that LA fucked up the market and now everyone wants $200 mill. Randy and Paredes are at the top of my wish list as well

[@waelse1]

Two words: Scott Boras.

[@hiramnoone]

This is why it's laughable that critics of the White Sox are claiming Getz is asking too much in a trade for Dylan Cease, but are in favor of signing Snell.

[@oGRaka]

I’m subbed!

[@iTalkStudios]

🔥💯 Thank you!!!

[@justinlast2lastharder749]

Fluke Snell. Even a Broken Clock is right twice a day, and even a broken pitcher can win fluke Cy Youngs twice apparently.

[@bornfuct]

Lol fluke smell....good 1

[@kyleochoa9004]

If I were Blake Snell, I would pick the team I prefer between the Dodgers and Braves and call them up and say "what's your best offer for 5 years? I'll take it!" because for me if nobody is going to overpay for me, id rather just go play where I would get to have fun and win. I don't know, obviously I have a different perspective, but for me making $50 million or $250 million is irrelevant, I'll have plenty of money either way so I would rather get to enjoy my super rare, super incredible opportunity to be a major league baseball player, and try to make it to the World Series at least once, and preferably win.

[@keithfeliciano]

teams want him, just don’t want to give him what he is asking for

[@CharlieLucky24]

What if he gets the nba Latrell Spreewell treatment when he got offended on a 3 yr 27m deal saying he can’t feed his family on that. No one offered him another contract after that

[@stevenholmquist723]

If I was him I would sign a two year contract with an opt out the second year. Just go have a big year again, opt out and get more than what you’re asking now even and without questions. And of course if it doesn’t go expected then you don’t opt out. Snell should just bet on himself if he wants it all
