I don't even think the system needs a huge tweek. Get rid of the super 2 rules and give everyone 4 years of Arbitration.

That's a lot of money to have a guy barely pitch and then walk in free agency

 

Ouch

 

I guess it's a sign of good faith that MAYBE helps them retain him

 

When you have team control you can't penalise the player for suffering a freak injury. His projected value remains in arbitration. If he was a UFA he would have been penalised for not pitching most of this year.

If he comes back when they hope 4-6 months from surgery(obviously the sooner, the better), they can retain some value in trade. Plus the O's likely have insurance on him.

I doubt they could get insurance on it. He basically just got the contract, so any insurer would probably tell them to take a hike. They're just hoping he comes back in time to trade at the deadline. A QA is possible too, but that's a lot to pay for that.

Good point, unless teams are able to put insurance on projected Arb monies?

I found this amusing...

 

The Twins’ Saturday agreement with Addison Reed “came out of nowhere” for new teammate and fellow reliever Fernando Rodney, a person close to Rodney told Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press. According to Rodney, the Twins promised him their closer role when they signed him last month to a deal that includes incentives for appearances and games finished. “We’ll see how it plays out,” the person told Berardino in regards to the Twins’ late-game setup. Another source informed Berardino that the Twins still plan to begin the season with Rodney as their primary closer.

Astros trade for Cole...Musgrove and Moran main pieces going back plus 2 others. Not stated who yet. Can't believe Pittsburgh couldn't get more.

That has to be more to come. I'd be pretty pissed off if I was a Pirates fan.

The Reed signing tells me that players might be starting to come down on terms.

 

He turned down more term to play in midwest

yeah that is awful light for the Pirate. I like Musgrove, but he's not a star. Had to get Fischer at the LEAST
