I like that for Milwaukee. Cortes is a very solid SP3 projected to make less than 8M in arb and Durbin is an interesting MLB-ready depth piece who should contribute to Milwaukee this year.
-
Apparently it’s not as insignificant as it sounds. Yankee Stadium suites go for 1M+ a year, and they’d be taxed on it via the CBT. So could be like a 30M+ concession from the team over the life of the contract.
-
It's f***ing absurd. Like yeah, I see how Ohtani is a unique investment. And even Soto is a mid-prime future inner circle HoFer, so I could see him being a special case too. But we don't need Rogers dictating that payroll can only go up by 20M if it's spent specifically on Anthony Santander. At that point you don't even trust the FO, so just fire them.
-
Full 40-man
-
I don't even know how a situation that absurd is allowed to continue. The Rockies don't do anything. They keep the same players year after year, and just continue to lose with them. It's very strange.

White Sox
-
Seems pretty light
-
Kenny KEn: White Sox acquiring Garrett Crochet from Red Sox for catcher Kyle Teel, outfielder Braden Montgomery, infielder Chase Meidroth and right-hander Wikelman Gonzalez
-
Looks like Teel is the big piece for Crochet
-
So we have 13M to spend. Or maybe 33M, but only if they land Santander, Bregman, Burnes, or (maybe) Teo. Seems like someone at Rogers is being dumb. What if they're at 241M and see an opportunity to improve the team by adding two 10M players on short-term deals? That's a no because those players aren't Santander/Bregman/Burnes?
-
I don't want Santander, but teams don't usually pay sticker price for 2B defense WAR. I could see preferring Santander + Horwitz to Gimenez.
-
Seems like that ship has probably sailed. If they sign Burnes or Pivetta they're up over 251M in luxury tax hit. Would they go into the 260s?
-
Steamer600 Horwitz - 2.2 fWAR Gimenez - 3.0 fWAR I know Gimenez has that one monster season, and Toronto is probably projecting Gimenez to be a bit better than that, but a) I don't trust Toronto's evaluation of hitters, and We're talking about a $93M commitment for Gimenez while Horwitz will make the minimum for two more years. I really don't like this deal. We could have had: Horwitz Josh Rojas (~4M) Kirby Yates/David Robertson/some other good FA reliever (12M) $77M but instead we have Andres Gimenez
-
This is not a good deal
-
Nick Sandlin is a Guardian. Kenny should watch baseball.
-
I just hate the idea of paying sticker price for defense. I feel like good teams find those kinds of players for cheap. 15.2M is a big chunk of the available budget, and I'm not sure 2B defense should have been the priority. Maybe I'm misreading the market on someone like Josh Rojas, but I'm guessing he doesn't get more than IKF last year, costs nothing via trade, and probably puts up 2+ WAR if you run him out there every day.
-
Would be like paying Jose Caballero 15M a year for 5 years because he'll scratch 2-3 WAR across on 2B defense and baserunning if you give him 600 PA.
-
Cool, a slap-hitting 2B who's had an xwOBA under 0.300 3 of the last 4 years and has a 15M luxury tax hit.

Cole Fried Gil Rodon Schmidt Cortes Stroman Is pretty f***ing solid
-
Holy crap 8/218 for Fried. Burnes is getting 250M+
-
Jays bring back Yimi Garcia on 2 year, 15 million dollar deal
BTS replied to Terminator's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
He was shut down in mid August with an elbow injury -
They think Happ, Bellinger, and PCA are good enough in the OF
-
Apparently Loaisiga to the Mets for 3/27? Atkins is probably panicking at this point. Just fixing the bullpen is going to be incredibly expensive.
-
Carson Kelly to the Cubs and Alex Cobb to the Tigers. We’re out of appealing C options.
