Around Baseball 2020

Makes sense besides Ozuna I guess as nobody else is worth that aav. Gausman actually wasn’t worth it but guess they like him as SP

 

Ozuna's exempt of the QO.

Tomoyuki Sugano Could Be Posted For MLB ClubsNovember 2nd, 2020 at 12:50pm CST • By Steve Adams

 

Yomiuri Giants right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano could be posted for Major League teams this winter, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. It’s not yet certain that he’ll be made available, but the Giants are considering the move for one of the more accomplished pitchers in Japan given that he’ll be eligible for unrestricted international free agency next winter. Sherman adds that NPB’s Nippon Ham Fighters may post a pair of players themselves: fellow righty Kohei Arihara and outfielder Haruki Nishikawa.

I'm more interested in his lack of a gut. Unless thats one great "suck in" job, he's trending in the right direction. Compare that to the guy who started the season lol.

Very promising, he wants 3rd base.

Hopefully he's at least smart enough to have the safety on.

Not many handguns have safeties these days. As long as he doesn’t fat-finger it he will be ok. He should really use a holster though.

The only crime here is that shirt.

If any current Blue Jay is going to fat finger something...

That's not reassuring news given the kid's propensity for clumsy moves on a baseball field.

You're cool with those sunglasses?

I am. I mean it's not my style, but I'm good with everything except that shirt.

[Carlos Danger]

That is actually a good point.. I hope he handles it better then he does 1B.

At least we know that if Vlad lets a bullet fly it is very likely going straight into the ground

Before we throw Puig under the bus, "at an LA Lakers game in 2018"

 

In the docs, the woman alleged, "she was forced into a bathroom and Yasiel Puig grabbed at her trying to take her clothes off, touched her sexual organs during this struggle, and eventually pinned her with 1 arm and used his other to stroke his own penis, exposing himself, and eventually ejaculating."

 

The woman says in her lawsuit, she was "simply heading to use the bathroom" -- and did not go to the restroom with the intention of having a sexual encounter with Puig.

 

 

This sounds completely unbelieveable lol.* So he dragged her into the bathroom, jerked off on her in a corner at a basketball game? And no one was around to witness?

 

 

 

*I am willing to take back my comments if he is found guilty.

 

They'll settle out of court and no one will be allowed to speak about it.

Cleveland, strapped for money, intend to trade All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor by opening day, several rival teams have been informed. Lindor earned $17.5 million last season and is projected to earn about $21 million in salary arbitration in his final year before free agency

If opening day comes around and all the other star SS haven’t signed extensions, that means they’ll be testing the market most likely. So I think a team like Toronto should pass on giving their best assets for one year. Might make more sense for big market club

There's a right price for him even without the extension. He has value above his 1/$21M (likely) salary and he is a difference maker.

 

The trade cost in terms of prospects should not be tremendous but if most teams would happily pay Trevor Bauer 1/$30M to 1/$35M then it might be reasonable to say that Lindor is worth a prospect package worth something like $10M or $15M.

 

That might only mean one good but not great prospect: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/an-update-to-prospect-valuation/

 

And then you can make the additional argument that if he is willing to sign an extension as part of the trade there is some value to that too. It saves the acquiring team the trouble of bidding for him.

This is fantastic.

I can’t believe I don’t even remotely remember the Brandon Martin story.

I was apparently living under a rock then

At least the Jays were able to make a deal with Brodie before he lost his job.

Mets executive vice president and general manager Brodie Van Wagenen is leaving the organization, the club announced (via Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News). Also departing are special assistant Omar Minaya, assistant general managers Allard Baird and Adam Guttridge, and executive director of player development Jared Banner.

[Spanky__99]

Cohen has a plan, lol. Seriously though, he might be a problem meddling in the future FO, or not.

He actually properly expanded on it douche

Yeah, I think the effort is no doubt going to be there. In these cases though, you have success stories that just expect success and then you have Daniel Snyders. I foresee him being the former though, we’ll see
