    Wow Padres might be getting Kim and Snell AND trying for Darvish?!?! I'm thinking maybe they were working on a trade for Snell and Darvish but only planned one or the other.
  2. G-Snarls
    Me too I'm at the point I'd rather sign Didi or Kim or Turner and trade for a starter like Darvish or Gray The asking price for Lindor is obviously too high or a trade would have happened already.
  3. G-Snarls
    This trade makes sense for both sides and their overall situations Makes rhe Padres even stronger contender vs their monster divisional opponent And it makes sense for keeping things rolling in Tampa for the future. But in the short term in 2021 do the Rays take a real step back after letting Morton and Snell go? They will make more moves to fill out the roster for 2021 but are they competing for the division title this year?
  4. G-Snarls
    Seriously though. Snell is going to cost them more like 6 or 7...

    Hmmmm More major leaguers and borderline major leaguers signing in Japan and Korea than usual it seems

    Infielder Adeiny Hechavarría has agreed to a deal with the Chiba Lotte Marines of Nippon Professional Baseball, the team announced yesterday (h/t to the Japan Times). It’s a one-year deal worth a reported $970,000.

    Merry Christmas everyone

    Free-agent infielder Ha-Seong Kim has received “several” offers of at least five years, according to Daniel Kim of ESPN. Major league teams have until Jan. 1 to sign him. Although he hasn’t played a game in the majors, the 25-year-old Kim entered the offseason as one of the most coveted free agents available. Kim starred in the Korea Baseball Organization from 2014-20, during which he slashed .294/.373/.493 with 133 home runs and 134 stolen bases in 3,664 plate appearances. KBO’s Kiwoom Heroes then posted Kim for MLB teams, and MLBTR predicted he would sign a five-year, $40MM deal in free agency. So far, the Blue Jays and Rangers are teams with known interest in Kim. He joins Didi Gregorius, Marcus Semien and Andrelton Simmons as prominent free-agent shortstops. Although they’re more proven than Kim, he might out-earn all of them if multiple five-year proposals are on the table.

    It still blows my mind that at one point superstar players/face of franchise players would routinely agree to short contracts with the Jays in their later years. You just don't expect that anymore. Jose Canseco, Frank Thomas, Paul Molitor, Roger Clemens etc. Maybe we're so good for a while we get to see Kershaw, Trout and Freeman don Jays uniforms at some point. LOL. Edit: I suppose *some* of those guys I mentioned may have had some help extending their careers with stuff you can't get away with anymore...

    The Red Sox have agreed to terms on a contract with right-hander Matt Andriese, per a club announcement. The Beverly Hills Sports Council client will receive a one-year, Major League deal with a club option for the 2022 season. He’s guaranteed $2.1MM on the contract and could earn up to $7.35MM if the 2022 option is exercised, per MLB Network’s Jon Heyman

    We got spoiled a bit with Lawrie and Donaldson that's for sure...
  14. G-Snarls
    I know what you mean. I'd almost rather not even go there at this point but they seem committed to one more try. I guess you give him the winter in the DWL, plus spring training and a maybe a couple of months of the regular season to see if it looks like he can stick at 3rd. Small chance he becomes, at best, a non/minor liability there. More likely he's still bad to terrible, but at least you let him try and can then move him to permanent 1B/DH and he knows you at least gave him a chance. (FWIW this is exactly what the Yankees and Gary Sanchez are doing right now as well) The problem of course is that if June 2021 he's still the worst fielding 3B in the league you've perhaps missed a chance to improve the overall roster right now by getting a solid fielding/batting infielder, AND Vlad missed a good oportunity to work on maybe playing FIRST base. The best option is probably getting one more quality infielder anyway and letting the chips fall where they may over the next 6 months.

    Lots of minor league signings around the league this week but not one major FA signing or trade yet in a while now...
  16. G-Snarls
    I both played and coached At that level pretty much any ball in play clears the bases
  17. G-Snarls
    Yes. He's better than a platoon player. The s***** thing is we probably get the max wins in 2021 with: 1. A new 3rd baseman (either a new aquistion there or bringing in a new middle IF and moving Biggio over) 2. Tellez at mostly 1B/some DH 3. Vlad mostly at DH/some 1B But they clearly don't want to do that any time soon and I hate the thought of having to keep Vlad off the field at his young age. But it's a HUGE problem if Vlad can't learn to play 3rd or 1st adequately.
  18. G-Snarls
    Then Tellez plays mostly 1B and some DH?
  19. G-Snarls
    It's a viable option though not my preference. If they can't get Kim or Lindor etc then signing a stop gap for 2B or 3B like Didi or Turner is definitely an option.
  20. G-Snarls
    I can't see them obtaining THREE starting pitchers
  21. G-Snarls
    This has been such a stupid year in so many ways and this season was such a short weird one that it somehow barely registered with me that all of: Justin Verlander Chris Sale Luis Severino Noah Syndergaard All had Tommy John surgery this year. That's really pretty insane

    I go there for the stats Not the "writing"

    Also, apparently, a Stanford economics major
  24. G-Snarls
    Yeah he didn't retire from playing very long ago. He's only 39. Has been in the Phillies FO for 3 years I guess. Sounds like a smart guy. Edit: His last season playing was 2015
