Watching Snell the past few years here in San Diego, he’s truly a smart, funny guy away from the mound. During games he did not pitch, our Padre announcers would always interview Snell during a game from the dugout. He has some of the funniest, wittiest comments from a MLB player. I know that’s not why a team pays him millions of dollars, but someday he could have his own syndicated radio show.
Depends but I feel you. Someone like Ohtani or a truly elite pitcher I would take the chance. But borderline guys like Snell (even before this yr I thought he was borderline) or Montgomery, I’d pass every time
@@kingrama2727 You think the players are in control? Tell me you don't know about baseball contracts without telling me you don't know baseball contracts.
@@drivewithbishop4426 wtf are you talking about? Of course the player is in control, the agent negotiates on behalf of the player.. holy 💩 you people are something
@@kingrama2727yeah tell that to Freddie freeman. He wanted to stay on the Braves and would’ve even took a pay cut to stay but his manager didn’t want him to do that so off to LA he went. Players might tell their agent which team they are interested in but at the end of the day, it’s the team that pays the most money. Which also greatly affects the pockets of the agents. Snell isn’t the only one. All of boras players are struggling. When that happens, then yes it’s the agent at fault.

My Mets are going to go through this Scott Boras nonsense with Pete Alonso the upcoming off season if we don't trade him at the deadline this season. Pete has regressed, and Scott Boras is probably going to ask for 10 years at MVP money. It's such a crummy scenario that I'm honestly OK just trading Pete and not getting him back at this point.
Great American is an amazing park. When the Reds were awful you could pay $22 for a ticket, which came with a $20 concession credit, and sit just about anywhere in the park after the 2nd inning. Perfect way to watch the Reds lose by double digits.
Will never forget how he was dealing in the 2020 World Series. As soon as he was pulled I knew the Dodgers were going to get that win! Hope Snell finds his well deserved contract.
Well by the end of this contract he will have earned over 100 million dollars. And if he wasn’t stupid he would have gotten the 6 year 150 from the Yankees. I’m not going to lose any sleep over him making an extra 100 million. Hopefully this will be a cautionary tale for future free agents and not over play there hand
As a Giants fan, I hated the signing from the beginning. He's exactly what he's always been, an unreliable starter who's injured often and when he does pitch, has elite level stuff with no control whatsoever. He'll pitch to a ton of strikeouts, and a ton of walks. He's going to give you 3-5 innings per start, depending how well he can work around the walks on a given night.
Lifelong Rays fan- loved snell but his issues before and after his CY year here was always walks and having them compound in one bad inning. Typically the fourth or fifth, was absolutely maddening. Still, he was back to his old self in game 6 of the WS and Kevin Cash decided to pull him after a weak hit, his only hit given up. When he’s on, and it’s typically when his command of his curve is there, dudes unstoppable. We lost that trade too. Absolutely horrible return.
The other late signee, Jordan Montgomery, has an ERA above 3.5 and a WHIP above 1.5 The only other starter who has a WHIP worse than him is Patrick Corbin.
As a Tampa resident he apexed in game 6 of the World Series against the Dodgers. The Rays who weren’t going to resign him anyway decided to rely on good ole analytics taking him out of that game way to early IMO.
Lincecum was lightning in a bottle, for about a 5 year period he was arguably the best pitcher in the game. His window was short, but extremely dominant, Snell's CY Young's are much weirder because they were won 5 years apart with 4 mediocre seasons in between.
As a Reds' fan, we saw this in reality with a ridiculous long-term contract for Homer Bailey years ago. His durability was always an issue and this type of market correction for pitchers seemed inevitable. This reminds me of how the market for RBs has shifted in the NFL. I think we will see an eventual shift to shorter contracts that will use performance incentives to drive the total values higher for the more durable guys. This may help to change focus away from the obsession with maximum velo above all else. In sports, regardless the type, the best ability is AVAILABILITY. Nice video, keep up the good work. Hope you had fun at GABP.
Blake Snell was never worth what Gerrit Cole is worth, but what happened this winter was a market correction that baseball desperately needed - Shohei aside, he is a true unicorn worth every penny and more for what he brings to the game
I mean with his stats from last year nobody should be a surprise. He's a guy whose had durability concerns since forever, he's clearly lost some of his control and even beyond all that is the definition of inconsistency.
Going into this season I had Blake Snell on my fantasy baseball team in one of my leagues. However, I immediately dropped him because I never cared for Blake Snell and didn’t think he was gonna be good this year. However, my leagues group chat decided to raise hell about me dropping Blake Snell. I was called in idiot for saying that Blake Snell was gonna be terrible this year. 😂😂😂
Blake Snell is from the Seattle area, so he was in some conversations to sign with the M's. Of course, the M's were reluctant to sign a former Cy Young winner because it didn't work out all that well with Robbie Ray.
Could you make a video on how much injuries have screwed the Astros? Astros now have THREE pitchers out with Tommy john, a fourth with a different elbow surgery. Luis Garcia should come back this year. And knowing Mccullers, he'll probably be back a couple weeks then out again until 2026. Entire year and it appears the rest of the year will rely on a very depleted farm. Injuries in general has made this season very hard to watch. Had a scare with Tucker last night too. McCorrmick also missed a few weeks. Would love your take on this situation. The two true MLB pitchers available, Framber Valdez and Justin Verlander have been struggling as well. If either of them get a serious injury there will be no hope.
If you see this, I got the notification you replied to my old comment, I realized essentially what I saw the reply said and just deleted it. But this would probably be a really interesting topic. I also deleted this original comment because I said some things wrong.
Genuinely insane how he's so up one year and then so down the next. It's not just a matter of him missing spring training, he's been like this for his whole career.
Unpopular opinion: pitchers don’t deserve crazy long contracts because 9 times out of 10 they’re either A: bound to get injured or B: not gonna repeat their cy young season because the consistency is just that hard
As a whole I think the MLB is going to avoiding paying big $$ to pitchers, especially aging pitchers and not ones extended young. Bauer was changing the mold of FA pitchers by taking higher AAV 1 year deals before getting blacklisted by the league. Also MLB teams have already seen Tim Lincecum (funny how snell is a lefty version of Timmy being a chase guy with more walks now playing for the Giants)
Over 8+ seasons he's averaged about a 2.5 WAR per season. Adjusted for a 162 game season it's about 3.5 WAR. Quantity matters. He misses lots of games and doesn't go long in the games he does pitch in. I'd be happy to have him on a playoff roster but he'll stress your bullpen in the regular season.
I have watched a few of your vids, was going to sub, then you decided to spend half of the video with your face in it. I don't know why RUclipsrs think they're being clever with "Oh, it's easier if I just talk to a camera and splice in a few videos, as opposed to actually finding relevant clips to fill the video with," but y'all sure as hell think we don't notice.
I know a lot of people other than me were saying “yeah I wouldn’t give Snell what he wants”…. The people in this group are very happy he’s not on their favorite team right now
Snell is a 5 inning pitcher. The Yankees got lucky. The pitchers the Yankees have all of them are better than snell this year. Gil might not have started this year. And he’s the best pitcher in MLB the last 7 games.
As a Mariners fan, I am soooo happy Dipoto didn’t go after him. A lot of chatter out of Seattle looking at signing him but that seems to have been a blessing now (contrary to a lot of Mariner “fans”).
Who cares about the market value and what they get paid? So many of these guys make the equivalent of multiple lottery ticket winnings every season for multiple seasons. I couldn't care less if their value was diminished by whatever... Now do you really care that a guy had to settle for 12 million a year instead of 20 million a year that he was seeking? Never mind the ad revenue that many get and all the side money they make just by being who they are. Big whoop
it's not bad for pitchers.. just one's who are willing to wait too long.. missing ST for a starter is not a good thing.. and he's finding it out and I hear that Monty is struggling a bit too.. just means... sign early to the big money rather than sit through ST to try to squeeze out just a bit more.
But I said the same thing when the Giants gave Barry Zito the big 5 year contract after he lost 8 mph of velocity. Of all is forgiven when he pitched 7 2/3 shutout against the Cardinals in game 5 of NL championship with the Giants down 3-1
As a dodgers fan I know I'm going to catch flak for this but I don't think the Snell signing was a failure because he didn't get a shoulder or God forbid an elbow injury 🤷♂️ it's a groin strain, he'll come back from it you gotta give it time to really see if it was a failure, you have to remember he also didn't have spring training because of Boras
As a Ladres fan, i can telk you that this isnt Snell. Hes streaky but his hot streaks usually last way longer than his bad ones. Him holding out for the money and not getting any kind of training ruined thisbyear for him.
Terrible, alarming peripheral numbers. CYAs are nice but they really don't represent how effective a pitcher will be in the future. Some guys can just put lightning in a bottle occasionally.
Free Agency goes in cycles. One decade it's the position players that get the best contract. Maybe cause they juice the ball? The following decade pitchers get the best contracts, maybe cause they deaden the ball?
You never said why Snell is A NIGHTMARE besides him not pitching a lot of innings and having a bad start to the season, or did you explain how he is affecting every pitcher since those are personal problems he has and do not affect pitchers who can pitch a lot of innings and are having good seasons
@@iTalkStudios I did, that's why I brought up things from the video. Every time a team signs a huge contract in every sport they have to accept the risk that the player can get injured or just stop playing well, that's not something new and it never stopped teams from continue to sign big contracts in the future when a player does not live up to the expectations. Snell not playing well in the start of the season is not having the chilling effect you implied he is having (even though in the end you admitted you can't say if he really is affecting every other pitcher)
@@SuperRainbol I can't say HOW MUCH he's affecting them but he is, that's what I said. Him proving owners right doesn't help the money flow toward free agent pitchers
@@iTalkStudios him proving owners right about HIM does not impact at all other pitchers that do not have the same problems as he has. This logic never worked in any sport, did teams stop doing huge trades or contracts in the NBA after the Nets big 3 didn't work?
I don't understand the "he missed spring training" thing. You're telling me a millionare who just plays baseball can't warm up or do their own training at a baseball field or whatever or even at their luxurious homes? I'm sure these dudes can afford an MLB type inner field.
I mean yeah players practice and work out on their own but they're not getting the MLB quality at bats and guidance from a team paying a lot more for them. Ain't like snell could pitch against AAA guys with scouting reports in his backyard even if he was a billionaire

With the current state of rampant pitcher injuries, does it even make sense to sign a guy for longer than 2 years anymore?
Draft pitching pitching pitching but let them go free agent. Spend your money on position players.

So glad the Yanks didnt sign him. What a cluster f**k.
He's a modern day Saberhagen. It's odd and really doesn't make much sense but that's baseball.
Exactly
Personality wise or...just going by pitching quality, I feel like Saberhagen was far far better. Snell is an exercise in frustration to watch pitch.
A yes Brett Saberhagen he was reliable and was an inngs eater back in his days
Saberhagen didnt walk people like at all. Not comparable pitchers. Saber was a turbo sinker guy who walked like 15 dudes a year.
Some of y'all are missing the point but it's understandable. Google Saberhagen odd year and read perspectives during his era.
Who cares about the market value and what they get paid? So many of these guys make the equivalent of multiple lottery ticket winnings every season for multiple seasons. I couldn't care less if their value was diminished by whatever...

Snell's FIP is 4.61 which certainly isn't good, but he hasn't pitched as horrific as his ERA would indicate.
But not worth that kind of money
He's also a walk machine.
Don't use pitchers, save your money, and use a different position player every night. 😂
The spring training thing makes sense because it's a routine and if he goes to spring training maybe he feels more comfortable and pitching better
As a Giants fan. Yeah not to happy about paying a pitcher $1 million dollars a start and he hasn't done anything yet? Not good
But I said the same thing when the Giants gave Barry Zito the big 5 year contract after he lost 8 mph of velocity. Of all is forgiven when he pitched 7 2/3 shutout against the Cardinals in game 5 of NL championship with the Giants down 3-1

@@PiggyPie1990 definitely after throwing a no hitter. He is definitely a special talent
To his defense, Jordan Montgomery is struggling as well. So maybe missing Spring Training is the problem.
Follow the back of his baseball card up for 1 down for 3
$100M+ is a lot to pay for a bloated long reliever.
It's mental. He didn't get the contract he was looking for and it obviously affected him. I wish him the best!

@@iTalkStudios him proving owners right about HIM does not impact at all other pitchers that do not have the same problems as he has. This logic never worked in any sport, did teams stop doing huge trades or contracts in the NBA after the Nets big 3 didn't work?
@@SuperRainbolNBA is a bad comp - they have new rules that screw over Super Teams now. Just ask Golden State fans about that.
But he won 2 cy Young's just like lincecum
never wanted to be in SF, couldnt care less about the team and just out to get a big contract. total bust of a pitcher.
Even tho it was an accident still mad at snell for hitting bryce Harper’s thumb last year as a Phillies Phan
I don't understand the "he missed spring training" thing. You're telling me a millionare who just plays baseball can't warm up or do their own training at a baseball field or whatever or even at their luxurious homes? I'm sure these dudes can afford an MLB type inner field.
I mean yeah players practice and work out on their own but they're not getting the MLB quality at bats and guidance from a team paying a lot more for them.
Ain't like snell could pitch against AAA guys with scouting reports in his backyard even if he was a billionaire
Thank You Scott Boras, for not letting the Yankees get fleeced this offseason 😘🙏🏿😂
Juat give him time...
