Around Baseball 2018

[Jimcanuck]

Given how good the Yankees and Sox are, we better get used to term. If we don't give extra years for guys who's going to come to the Jays over the next few years. We're going to have a lot of cash to spend in a couple years, but it won't do us any good if we can't convince anyone to come here.

 

Signing FA not only way to accrue commitments

Why would we need too?

[Brownie19]

Does this preclude a Harper return?

 

Roll with a Soto, Robles, Eaton OF?

 

Rendon, Turner, Zimmerman & Gomes on the IF isn't too shabby either. "IF" they can stay healthy and Robles can step right in and produce, they "should" be a good team.

Nationals nearing deal with Chirinos

 

Astros*

 

I was confused why they were adding a third catcher!

[L54]

That Corbin contract... woof. Not a shot I'd be giving him 6 years

[Boxcar]

Even though he is spending his off-season calling out your boy Bregman? Only thing he has wrote that I didn't like is saying "I was better than Kluber last year" I understand the honesty of the statement but leave your own teammates out of it. Between his hatred and refusal to take long term contracts he'll end up the most interesting free agent ever.

 

Bauer talking about him and Bregman's back and forth

 

 

also right after Perez talked about how Bauer's Twitter posts are a non issue in the clubhouse as they are entertained too

 

Bregman is a boring personality and doesn't really seem like the sharpest tool in the shed. I like his performance on the field but he's forgettable otherwise. I don't mind Bauer clowning on him at all.

Assuming Greinke would net a paltry return, I think I'd rather trade for Greinke at 3 for 105 than Corbin at 6 for 140.

Huge get by the Cardinals.

[Captain Adama]

Not sure how much Goldshmidt's gonna get back in return with just one year left.

[Bobthe4th]

[P2F]

Luke Weaver, Carson Kelly, and Andy Young to Arizona in exchange for a season of Goldy.

That's a pretty good return for 1 year of Goldschmidt.

[jaysblue]

Greinke likely next to be traded I would imagine.

 

David Peralta would be a nice target as a corner OF.

[jaysblue]

That's a pretty good return for 1 year of Goldschmidt.

 

Would have been nice to get that return for 1 year of Donaldson last offseason.

[Ray]

Would have been nice to get that return for 1 year of Donaldson last offseason.

 

We would've gotten Flaherty over Weaver, which makes it even worse.

[Laika]

Cards will probably trade Jose Martinez for nothing pretty soon. Probably to the Rays.

 

I'm kind of surprised he wasn't just part of the Goldy package.

4 years at $17M would be an overpay imo

[Orgfiller]

 

4 years at $17M would be an overpay imo

 

Gross, 4/68 for Eovaldi would be extremely risky.

[Spanky__99]

Gross, 4/68 for Eovaldi would be extremely risky.

 

The thought is they're going to use him as a closer, well, according to the MLB Tonight panel.

Banning the shift is gaining momentum. I can't wait to see a play overturned because someone didn't stand in the right place

Banning the shift sounds like an awful idea, but I'd imagine that players with high exit velo will begin to correlate with a higher wRC+

I love it - very worth it. I signed up for a year at 50% off and am getting a free cotton tee with it.

Both P2F and I do and yeah it's good.

[jays4life19]

I think P2F will also vouch for The Athletic amazing resources for fantasy hockey. P2F Is always quoting Dom's projections to me when trying to convince me to sign off on a move. It can be get annoying but Dom is truly a brilliant fantasy hockey mind
