Around Baseball 2019

[Bobthe4th]

If Atkins is being sincere in the below blurb, then I doubt he's looking at Marte.

 

In theory we have surplus catching prospects, so if we do make any prospect trades that's where we should be subtracting from. But yeah, you're probably right.

[Bobthe4th]

Ownership has also publicly stated that they can't afford to keep both Strasburg and Rendon

 

Mark Lerner is worth over $5billion dollars.

[G-Snarls]

Mark Lerner is worth over $5billion dollars.

 

And his team just won the WS. He won't completely cheap out obviously.

[Bobthe4th]

Yeah, I see Boras has already responded too.

 

[Terminator]

Pineda back to Twins for 2 years 20 mil.

Toronto is kind of being pinched out of the upper and middle portions of the free agent SP market. Cole and Strasburg are not on the table, Ryu probably isn't, Bumgarner is a scary thought, and who knows about Keuchel.

 

There are lots of options left - dozens of veteran starting pitchers looking for teams. A good portion of them are reclamation project types though. If you sort by projected WAR, immediately after Bumgarner you get to guys like Porcello, Wood, Martin Perez - guys all coming off of mediocre or bad seasons. There is a lonnnnng list of these guys though. Like I said, dozens and dozens.

 

Toronto is going to be in the Dollarama free agent SP market in all likelihood, picking their favourite two reclamation project dudes.

Is Alex Wood healthy (at least ostensibly)? Signing him and limiting him to two times through as a long guy after someone like Font could work out very well.

[Barkerfan23]

I thought we would discover an ace like Cleveland has done so many times with Kluber or Carrasco

[L54]

I’m fine with getting two of these guys. Gibson was my favourite target, but Wood, Roark, Bailey, Gausman, Smyly, Cahill, etc are all guys who will help raise the floor of this currently terrible rotation.

[Ray]

Final deal is the Rays get Renfroe and Xavier Edwards, and the Padres get Pham and Jake Cronenworth.

Your posts have been even more terrible than usual this offseason. I recommend a valium.

If only you were a mod and could do something about useless troll posters

[TheHurl]

I wonder if the Padres will let Cronenworth pitch still. I still think you'll see a few more 2 from the 40 man for 1 deals from the Rays.

Jordan Lyles to the Rangers 2 years $16M

Jordan Lyles to the Rangers 2 years $16M

 

What a great year to be a free agent....

[Barkerfan23]

Jordan Lyles to the Rangers 2 years $16M

 

Lol what are the Rangers doing

 

They are going no where with Gibson and Lyles

[TheHurl]

And his team just won the WS. He won't completely cheap out obviously.

 

He ran the team at a loss for a while.

[G-Snarls]

I guess the Jays were in on Lyles too

Trevor Rosenthal signs a minor league deal. With the Royals.

 

Wow. Poor guy.

[Barkerfan23]

I wonder if we are a match with a club like the clubs who have a lot of money tied up in starting pitching and are up against the luxury tax.

 

I dont yhink they would move a Darvish but I can see them moving a Quintana or Lester

 

Ofcourse I wouldn't want to give anything of significance it's just eating payroll

[BTS]

Just came here to ask how much of Darvish’s 4/81 people would take on. You’d probably get him for nothing if you ate the entire deal.

They should def consider this

 

Guys without no trade clauses or 10/5 rights

I'd probably go as far as actually giving a B/C+ prospect to take on Darvish's contract.

Yeah, for sure. Was wondering what you guys were talking about, till I went to MLBTR.

Who'd you hear that from? That won't get it done, I don't think.

Wow

 

Would love to see them sign him and him magically lose it after leaving Houston
