Around Baseball 2018

Makes 8 years look a lot better.

[John_Havok]

I’ll guess $150M

 

Can't see why player agents are whining about contracts when guys like Hosmer pull down these types if deals.

8/144. BTS wins.

You win

That seems a light return for 2 years of control - once again the Rays are showing how cheap they are.

[AledmysDiaz]

Padres Reddit is pretty happy. The deal will help them win the WS in 2020

 

Lol

[BTS]

Is this Boras’ first client to sign? If so, he’s 1/1. I hope he gets great deals for all his guys after all the s*** he’s taken this offseason.

[Hipfan]

Morales to the Royals now? Please?

[Pendleton]

Morales to the Royals now? Please?

 

I would love it, but there are still better options remaining in free agency who can likely be had for less, just can't see why they would do it.

Crap. Rather his stay in KC fantasy wise lol

[Spanky__99]

In that case there's absolutely no reason to DFA him. I'm assuming something happened (PED or behavioral issue) that tanked his value.

 

Yeah, very strange.

Certainly light, I'm shocked they couldn't get more.

[G-Snarls]

No one can cheer for the "well run Rays" anymore

I feel for Scott Boras. I'm glad he's back on his feet.

He probably whipped it out - Louis CK style.

Lol

 

Looks like the Padres and their fans haven't learned that splurging on overrated pylons isn't a very good idea.

KC has a worse park than SD...

[BTS]

KC has a worse park than SD...

 

KC has the worst lineup in baseball too. They don't have a single hitter projected to have a 100 wRC+.

 

Edit: I guess they have one, Soler at 103.

[BTS]

Also, it's absolute idiocy that ZiPS projections still aren't on the player pages and rolled into the depth charts. The fact that they get rolled out one team at a time over the course of the entire offseason, while the superior Steamer projections are just available right away, is stupid.

It's a massive IF, but IF the Padres can get Hosmer to hit the ball in the air, he won't be overrated at all.

Lol that's incredible.

Lol Wil Myers back to the outfield thanks to this deal. Lmao @ the Padres

[BTS]

Chris Young gets a 2M guarantee from the Angels. The market is starting to clear out.

I thought this was the pitcher at first. The Angels have had an excellent offseason.

Soo whats the general consensus on why Dickerson was dropped, f***ed someones wife? PEDs?

[Abomination]

I don't know. I even asked a friend who works in another organization (not from the board), and they had no clue.

Is really not a nice guy, who no one in the organization liked from the GM, to the manager, trainer, all the way down to the bat boy?

[z3r0s]

Is there an actual chance we could ditch Morales to KC. Say we eat half the contract (10M-ish).

 

Who is even going to man 1st for them? They know him.

 

I never really thought this was possible. But the team is so bad at hitting and they are clearly dumb (with reported offers on Hosmer being at LEAST the 8 years he got from SDP)

I just don't see why they'd bother helping us out of that contract when they can spend similar money on better players still left on the market.
