Did they actually sign Leake too? That seems like overkill

Olney re-tweeted Leake didn't fit in to their budget, moments later they get Rekt for Miller.

Hearing from multiple sources Ender Inciarte, Aaron Blair and Dansby Swanson are involved in the Shelby Miller deal.

I feel our new front office is playing the relief market perfectly, let the big guys sign garbage contracts then when there are more pitchers then teams wanting them we pick 2 or 3 up on cheap one year deals.

Interesting. My guess is the cost won't be that high.

 

 

"Acquired from the Blue Jays in the Josh Donaldson deal last year, Lawrie was close to being moved to the White Sox for a pair of minor leaguers late Tuesday night. According to two big-league sources at the winter meetings, the teams were still discussing names for the return portion but the Lawrie part was essentially agreed upon. "

I really don't like what Beane is going. He says the market won't support a punt of 5 years but the Cubs and Astros have shown you can do a full rebuild in 3. Mediocrity doesn't keep the fans interested either which is exactly where the As are headed for the foreseeable future. I mean look at the Jays the last 20 years. Winning 80-84 games is the worst spot to be in.

 

With the new scouting and IFA pool money being tied to a team's record the teams that have tanked and done full rebuilds look to be in the best position going forward. Astros, Cubs, even Phillies are in great positions because they did full rebuilds.

When exactly did the Phillies begin their rebuild?

Yeah I probably shouldn't have included them. In 3 years I think they will be like the Cubs/Astros of this year.

 

you are seriously overestimating the phillies front office

So many recent Oakland moves have looked/been awful, but I can't count how many times I've written them off and seen them win a lot of games. I'll be shocked if they're headed towards 4-5 years of losing. I'd only be mildly surprised if they won 88 games this year and made the WC game.

I'm picking them to win 77 games. I have no real reason or justification for that, just a pick.

Orioles offer Davis 150/7

 

With numbers like that, Heyward should get 10 years.

 

 

I think it's a pretty fair deal imo. There's nothing wrong with a team giving a big offer to their star player from the past 4 years that ends shortly when you can expect his decline to hit. It's not like a 10 year $250MM contract till he's 40.

Chris Davis is the ultimate risk-reward free agent.

 

7.0 WAR - 2013

0.8 WAR - 2014

5.6 WAR - 2015

2.4 WAR - projection

 

You're almost tempted to view his projection distribution as bimodal... I mean it feels like he's either going to be awesome or really suck, not something in between.
