Offseason Roster Thread 2016-17

[Brownie19]

I just don't see what the selling off of Eaton for Pitching in which Quintana and Sale are locked up until 2019 or something. You would have to assume they would want young position players or prospects.... I can't see it.

 

Don't forget Rondon too.

Reddick to Astros , 4 year deal , according to Rosenthal

[BTS]

Man, that's the number one or two guy on my wish list for the OF.

[THANOS]

Reddick 4/50M

 

Who do we turn to now? I really hope that Jay Bruce BS doesn't happen.. I'm worried..

[fatcowxlive]

Wow. 4 years $50 M is WAY less than people predicted here. People were saying longer term commitment at like $15, dude got paid 12.5M for his age 30-34 seasons. How were we not in on that especially given the fact we need OFers and he doesn't cost a pick???

Means the chances of Edwin returning are growing...

Maybe he didn't want to sign here.

Yeah, I don't know either. Maybe he just wasn't willing to come here.

Is Edwin a RF?

I'm kinda suprised he got 4 years actually. Probably why he got less per year.

[Candy Maldonado]

they say 52 million now

He might prefer Houston...

Maybe he didn't want to come here, we were rumoured as interested.

 

Edit: I guess fatcow has been told... lol.

You guys are absolutely right, sorry long day at work lol

[jays4life19]

Seems fair. MLBTR thought 3/36 for Reddick.

[Ray]

Well then. Fowler it is.

[THANOS]

At this point, it needs to be Fowler, while we let EE and JB walk.

Question is, does he want to come here?

[GD]

I don't see why it "needs" to be Fowler. He probably won't be worth what he gets paid.

This I can't wait to see, especially with a pick attached to him.

He wasn't going to get $70 + million like people on here were throwing around. He's a platoon bat, entering his 30's. Would have been the most expensive platoon player ever.

.270/.349/.510 slashline with 18 HR's in 300 AB, 129 wRC+ and 1.9 WAR. Always has hit well at the Rogers Centre as well.

On a short, cheap deal as some sort of (not so super) utility guy, then sure. But 2016 could have easily been an outlier.

[Rusty_Savage]

And that 30% k rate is not the way I want this club to be trending towards. Bat meet ball

Never knew Napoli could play all over the field...
