Hmmm... the initial result of my bumping this thread was to turn a two-way tie into a three-way tie. -
This poll is currently tied, with a little over 48 hours remaining. I'm giving it a bump to see if there are any additional precincts that have not yet reported in.

The contract is reportedly backloaded: ESPN wrote: Cespedes will receive a full no-trade clause and will make $22.5 million in 2017, $29 million in 2018 and 2019 and $29.5 million in 2020, sources told ESPN's Adam Rubin and Jerry Crasnick.

I do think that Jay Bruce probably has more production ahead of him than Granderson does, but we're not talking about the remainder of their careers, just about 2017, and I think I'd rather have Granderson in 2017 than Bruce. And Bruce, as the younger player, may conceivably have more trade value (depending on the perspective of the trading partner), but that's just speculation.
-
How this news was presented on the back pages a mere ten months ago:
-
There were those rumors a while back that the Blue Jays were interested (possibly because his name is Jay) but never anything that I saw about what Toronto would offer. I'd like to see them get someone who'll help in 2017, but a decent prospect would be okay too. I just hope it's a package at least as good as Max Wotell and Dilson Herrera.
-
I'd put Conforto in that lineup instead of Bruce. I figure he's almost certain to be traded now.
-
Centerfield wrote: Has a Met ever been signed twice in the same calendar year? Kinda crazy. I know! It's strange to think that we're not going to have a Cespedes signing next winter to provide off-season jubilation.
-
I can't help but think that the Tabloid Cover Derby had something to do with this. The deadline for covers to be considered is December 4. I bet they noticed that the covers from Cespedes' return in January didn't make it out of the first round (because of competition from Mike Piazza). Anyway, this is FANTASTIC news! This is almost as good as if we had traded Donald Trump to Venezuela for a president-elect to be named later. Cespedes' new contract expires after the 2020 season, the same year that David Wright's does. A lot of money will be coming off the books then.

This poll is, once again, in a four-way tie. Voting will close on Thursday morning and if this tie persists we'll have an unprecedented four-way tiebreaker. If you have not yet voted in this thread and care to, please do so today or tomorrow.
-
I had completely forgotten that Tim Raines was ever a Yankee. Even having been reminded of it, I still don't remember it at all.
-
Is it possible that if you're voting and commenting at the same time, that you're not clicking the two submit buttons separately? That would prevent your vote from being tallied. You need to click "Submit Vote" to register the votes, and then Submit to submit your comments.
-
This poll, which closes tomorrow morning, remains tied. I'm giving this a final bump in case there are any more votes out there. If the voting is still tied tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, I'll kick off a tiebreaker thread.

Millan and Stone are the first two I thought of.
-
FILL-IN GROOVY is a weird cover. The headline is about Kelly Johnson, but the photo features Yoenis Cespedes and Travis d'Arnaud. I voted for KELLY RIPPER and HAIR FORCE ONE.

This poll closes on Tuesday. I'm giving it a bump in case there are any tiebreaking votes out there.

I know. Gaunt Doc Gooden is even more disturbing than Gaunt David Wright was a couple of threads ago.
-
I'm also totally down with the fifth year. I admit that it may result in having a horribly overpaid and underproductive malcontent in 2021, but it's a risk worth taking. Now is not the time to worry overly much about the 2021 season.
