He was the most productive player on some of the leaner Yankees teams of the post-dynasty era but l never quite got the sense he was a leader of those teams so I was pretty fine with it when he left for Seattle. Still, an awesome player to watch. Both at the plate and in the field he was one of those athletes who made it all look effortless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too didn't really mind so much when he left, but I thought he never looked right in another uniform. Felt the same way about Soriano. He was an all around solid player and put together a solid career. This does however taint his accomplishments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Does this let the Mets off the hook for his contract next year? I think he has two years left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mariners will pay $7,500,000 to make his total $24,000,000 in the final year of his deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Can he play linebacker? A little 'roid rage' might compensate for lack of familiarity with the sport. Git'r'done, Beane! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That surprised me, I thought he only had two left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Interesting to speculate why he was still taking. 38 years old, 3 years left at around $24 mill per year, skills diminishing so a safe bet he's on his last contract and he flushes away $24 mill? For what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 This is just one of many reasons why Cohen fired BVW 42 seconds after he bought the Mets.

My 14 year old made a good point that I hadn't considered. If MLB has another Covid-abbreviated season the 162 game ban will be extended to the following year.

This couldn't of worked out better for the mets, they are off the hook for $24 mil and now Cano won't take innings and abs away from some of the younger guys that are more productive. Cano was always a throw in for the Diaz trade. My guess is that trade never pans out of the Mets don't take on Cano's contract. Everybody knew it was a bad contract. Diaz was obviously horrible his first year with the Mets but he was lights out the year before & pretty good this abbreviated season. Hopefully he will be that stopper we need going forward. Go after bauer with the extra cash, that 24 mill should cover at least the first year of his contract. Thor gets back into form and now you got something. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is brilliant. It's something that could EASILY generate a lot of money for charity. I'd be shocked if Bonilla didn't play along and donate a portion of the million to a charity each year. They could do it on a weekend gameday every year and invite Bonilla. Hell, he's not the villain, here. The ***** Wilpons are. I absolutely love this. And I'd go every year! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
