Ferland and Del Zotto

Rays could still end up with the best record in the NL as well. There was that ugly stretch right at the deadline where they lost 3 in a row to the O's and got swept by the White Sox. Bet they would like that back...or the first 17 games of the season.

someone can just do it in Excel and they can copy and paste quickly

Is the spreadsheet ever going to get updated?

4th youngest to do it I believe (ARod, Gehrig and Pujols)

Maybe you should stop dropping so many people

He looks 13

Sharp dressed ✓ Sharp witted ✓ Feel Sharp ✓ Sharp as a tack ✓ but ... Hockey Sharp ☒

I'm thinking he's a guy that AA would pursue.

If Sanchez is somewhere in between 2016 and 2018. He might get dealt. If he's close to 2016 they will be keeping him for 2020. The Jays are not the Rays, they won't keep trying to trade players with eligibility left. I think if anything we'll see more situations where they let them hit free agency. There is a better chance he's traded this offseason IMO, but still don't see it happening.

no rules against non-pool assets being exchanged.

I'm looking for a 5 year contract to be in Vegas myself.

tatar's no trade clause kicks in at the start of this season. At $5.3M and the rift between Vegas and Tatar, it was much more of a must deal than Patches in Montreal.

My hatred for this league grew every week

Osuna's lawyers are pushing for a peace bond. Eventually it gets signed and we get no details.

So sorry Spanky. I was completely kidding. At least now you are making me actually work to select my keepers.

Free days probably screw the questionable talent though. The guys that might only get that or will go up and down most of their career. Ryan Spilborgh covered that one yesterday. Before putting up an over 1 win season he had come up 3 service days short of arbitration, he was a contributor for 4 seasons but still not arb eligible.. Rockies acknowledged it and gave him a 2 year contract

I consider myself of average intelligence and definitely think on the business (owners) side of CBA's. Yet I only have one average solution to the issues with service time. The review the issues: 1. Top players being held back until they won't hit 172 days in the majors. 5 years, 171 days means a player will not hit free agency. 5 years 172 days (172 is considered a year in baseball) and they do hit free agency. Current examples are Vlad, Eloy. Recent examples Ronald Acuna, Kris Bryant. 2. Byron Buxton an established (but not proven) Major League player did not get the call-up this year which will increase his service time by a year. He was sent down early enough to keep his year of eligibility. Admittedly it's a justified send down, but most 24 year old players coming off of a 3.5 win season are given a little more rope. He had a .365/.400/.596 line in August. I've only come up with one solution which helps this situation. Including playoff days in service time is an interesting option (so as many as 30 extra days if a team made the finals. It adds an unknown to the mix at least and only punishes the teams that are getting playoff money. The issue with it is that it might just mean that teams wait until the Super 2 deadline and this pushes prospect debuts even further back. Thoughts? Other ideas? Radio Scouts topic? Any articles or research out there (normally I look but I'm lazy in my old age)

If there were any chance of that happening he'd already be here. He wanted to be in the majors this year, I'm sure they told him this would be the way to do it.

Fair or Foul type thing (that's a MLB segment so you can put your own spin). Where someone makes a statement and others discuss whether it is feasible or not. Examples from this week were "Ohtani will have 25 HR's before he ever throws another major league pitch" (everyone went Fair as it looks like he'll start the season as DH next year)
