There's some salary that can be moved out too. Carrera is probably movable, and if not is only owed 1/6th of his 1.9M salary. Steve Pearce has become superfluous and the team could probably find a way to shed most of his 6.5M salary. Even Loup at 1.81 is movable and mostly replaceable by a league min guy. I see enough flexibility to allow them to make room for Cain/Cobb/Lynn if they think they can make a deal with one of them.

I bet it's TCA

Is it just me or are more and more players making it known that they want to be traded because their team sucks? When you signed a long term contract, you gave up the freedom to make that choice. Seeing the Starlin Castros and Josh Harrisons of the world act like they're above toiling away on a non-playoff team is annoying.
-
I feel the same as L54. The Giants are an old team of vanilla players that won’t likely be good for a long time and aren’t fun to watch. I love Longo and was pissed when he got traded there.

Did you post the wrong story? -
I'm warming to the idea of Cobb or Lynn. There isn't single pitcher signed into 2019, so they can absorb the risk of a multi-year deal on a mid-rotation type.
-
This has been a very solid offseason. Nothing flashy, but nice low risk additions.
-
Apparently it’s Crick plus one additional ‘mid range’ prospect. Sounds less valuable than, like, Leone and Pompey
-
Kyle Crick is part of the return lol
-
Wow. This is just going to be a pile of trash to Pittsburgh.
-
Chris Shaw will be the centerpiece probably. Maybe like him and Chris Stratton.
-
I wonder if Kendrick's deal is like 1/6.5 with a 0.5 buyout or something. 2/7 is a ridiculous steal.
-
There was nothing all that interesting about his statistical profile until he started murdering balls late in 2016, then carried it over to the AFL. I believe njh laid out some well-reasoned thoughts as to why he was overrated and uninteresting at the time. Scouts had him as a quick-learning baseball rat with huge power, plus speed, OF chops, and and 80-grade makeup.
-
I, for one, thank the scouts every day for giving me Ronald Acuna in the DDL and Cody Bellinger in BORED.
-
nah
-
So Leone, Stroman, Pillar, and Osuna left. Stroman is probably the last chance at a long term extension this offseason.
-
Sanchez signs for 2.7M. Between him (0.8), Donaldson (2.3), and Loup (0.0125) the team has spent about 3.1M more than MLBTR projected on their arb guys so far.
-
An offseason extension is awfully unlikely at this point.

I prefer to describe him as the guy who's never had an ERA over 3, has a 67% GB rate, and is Texas' closer.
-
Rangers closer Alex Claudio is your man
-
Carrera (1.9) and Loup (1.8125) avoided arb.
-
It’s a fair deal, but I’m happy it’s not Toronto. Bruce is a thoroughly uninteresting player.
-
Holy crisp that’s a bad deal for TCA
-
Verlander Keuchel Cole McCullers Morton/Peacock/Martes/Paulino Not bad
