There was a time when a Bieber extension made a lot of sense for both sides. Now at the alarming rate with which pitchers are having reconstructive surgery, it’s fair to wonder if the Guardians should ever sign starters to long-term, big money deals theathletic.com/5396112/2024/0…
@ByJasonLloyd That's actually been obvious for a long time. Cleveland was smart enough to trade most of them first.
@ByJasonLloyd Bieber would have been traded for 2 or 3 'prospects' that wouldn't get called up till September anyway. Dolan can't afford an MLB club.
@ByJasonLloyd I don’t think you ever have to worry about that
@ByJasonLloyd You lost me with “Guardians, long term and big money”.
@ByJasonLloyd No way. Better off over paying for pitchers/players for 2 years and move on. Guy who wants $240M for 8 years, I'd give him $40M for 2. Somebody is going to do it eventually.
@ByJasonLloyd They’ll sign their young guys ahead of schedule on cheaper deals
@ByJasonLloyd Bieber will be back. I don't see him letting this be the end of his career. Good luck wherever that maybe (here)?
@ByJasonLloyd Is the farm system good enough to withstand the loss of Shane and Tristan's trouble?
