Dyson would (again) be perfect. He’d be the everyday LF as the roster currently stands, and could be a perfect 4th OF if a more substantial acquisition is made.

He's the most interesting of all the mid-range starter arms available, where the team has shown a willingness to shop (Happ, Estrada). The only other guys who really grab my attention are Lynn and Garcia. Even then, I think I'd max out at two years for Cobb and Lynn and one for Garcia.

I bet the only one of those the team will be even a bit interested in is Otani. They won't definitely won't give Darvish his 150M, or Tanaka his 100M.

Man I pretty much stopped watching the Jays after the ASB. I don't even know what a Raffy Lopez, or Luis Santos, or Carlos Ramirez even is. ARE THESE EVEN REAL PEOPLE?

Some interesting arb decisions this year: Goins, Koehler, and Loup are all potential non-tender candidates.

Fernando Rodney closing games is going to end poorly at some point in the playoffs.

So I understand why Cleveland is pushing Kluber to game 2. But why not open with Carrasco instead of Bauer?

I’d personally flip Boston and New York. NL I’d probably go: LAD CHC WSH ARZ COL

Agreed. Boston is probably the weakest team left in the AL, and they’re pretty talented. Just need the Rockies to lose tonight and all 8 remaining teams will be championship caliber IMO

Happy the Twins lost. They f***ing sold at the deadline.

Not digging the Big Erv hate here guys

Holy crap David Robertson. What an outing.

I'm hoping he has enough left in the tank to play this year and next. He's 86 points from 2,000. That would be incredible given that he lost 1.5 seasons to lockouts and played another 3 seasons in the KHL in his prime.

Phils will apparently be shopping Cesar Hernandez. He’d be a good fit here with Travis’s health issues. Still 3 years of team control.

Fantasy baseball broke poor z3r0s

This seems like the kind of thing we hear every time a major player is nearing free agency. He’ll stay, for $200M.

This is pretty cool. I love when teams do this kind of thing.

Well, HF is an over-moderated safe space cesspool, so if they like it there they probably won’t like it here.

I don’t think that’s really true. The biggest problem with the forum, at least as far as traffic is concerned, is that the team blows. It’s been that way for the 15+ years I’ve been posting: if the team sucks, people don’t post. Secondary issues are the constant spam and general bugginess creating a terrible posting experience, and that doesn’t seem likely to change anytime soon.

Do you guys remember when it took less than 15 seconds to load a page, had moderators that actually post, and didn’t leave Russian spam bot threads littering the forum for days at a time? I remember

Mods using me to deflect comments about how s***** this forum has become SMH

What a great season for him. I would have bet against him ever hitting 200 innings in a season.

Oops

I can’t freeze rosters from my phone (what’s the point of desktop-only settings tools?) if someone with commish powers can do it, please do. Otherwise I’ll get it tonight. Either way, the deadline for roster moves was last night, and final offseason rosters are updated on the sheet.
