  1. Arbitration projections have him likely to get 18.6M for next year. Not many teams want to add that. So yes the cost in trade should be low. You could PROBABLY even get the Cubs to take a smaller contract you don't want, or have them pay part of his salary, to go along with giving them a prospect that they do want. And if he's good next year you probably make him a QO and collect a draft pick. With all that in mind I think they probably just keep him though
  2. Bo >>>> Vlad at 3B Lindor/Simmons >> Bo at SS I get it from their point of view I would still jjst rather sign someone else for 3B and CF. But if the free agents you want won't sign you have to look to trades
  3. Now Smoak is going to Japan Getting over 6M Wow. Would he have even got a major league deal worth a third of that here at this point?
  4. Turner would be fantastic The Dodgers won't be idle though with SD going HAM Maybe they feel the need to trade for Arenado now and let Turner walk
  5. For some reason this post made me miss Kobe
  6. Agree on all.counts Will be really weird if the guy ends up being Realmuto
  7. I'm hoping theywwre working on trades for Snell OR Darvish ans rhe Snell one is rhe one that worked out
  8. Mets are our free agent enemies Padres are our trade enemies. For pitching anyway. Because they don't need Lindor.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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?
  12. Seriously though. Snell is going to cost them more like 6 or 7...
  13. Hmmmm More major leaguers and borderline major leaguers signing in Japan and Korea than usual it seems
  14. 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.
  15. Merry Christmas everyone
  16. 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.

  18. 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...
  19. Paxton hitting 94 mph in a bullpen session with scouts from 20 teams present
  20. 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
  21. We got spoiled a bit with Lawrie and Donaldson that's for sure...
  22. 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.
  23. Lots of minor league signings around the league this week but not one major FA signing or trade yet in a while now...
  24. I both played and coached At that level pretty much any ball in play clears the bases
