I don't completely understand the love Verdugo gets.
-
And Carrasco
-
And Keuchel
-
Yeah, there's no incentive for them at all. Yelich is better, three years younger, under team control for two years longer, and has a more diverse skill set.
-
I don't get it either. I don't think Nova is replacement level, but this is a very bad trade.
-
Justification seems pretty obvious from SG's perspective: He trades someone with basically 0 chance of being more than an SP4 or SP5 in our league for a guy who might be a legit ace, and pays a late first for the massive upgrade in ceiling.
-
That seems like a lot of risk for Sammy to pickup a late 1st
-
Got it
-
Yeah. Another lesser reliever returned Candelario. All signs point to SD likely having pretty good offers on a guy whose value only stands to decline.
-
Ugh, Pedroia, Bour, and Trumbo to the DL within the last week. Despair.
-
I predict that he doesn't find a deal until the offseason. IMO no return will be worth subtracting that monster bat for a title run.
-
I'm very curious as to what red flags jaysblue is seeing in Cruz to make him sell so aggressively before the playoffs.
-
Because you don't join any of the leagues. You basically don't exist.
-
They don't even ever have interesting players. Who was the last good player who spent more than 1-2 years with the team? Jake Peavy? And before that, like Trevor Hoffman and Brian Giles? Their franchise player is a vanilla league average 1B signed long term for 85M.

Astros are on the verge of acquiring Francisco Liriano
BTS replied to HERPDERP's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Yeah, he apparently wants to come over anyway. People are suggesting that he might sign for $9M or whatever the limit is, and have a handshake agreement for a 200M extension that would be announced during the season, but there's a lot of risk there for him: if he gets hurt, or pitches terribly, there would be nothing holding the team to their end of the bargain. And nobody knows how long this would have to be delayed for MLB to not consider it circumvention of the CBA. -

Yeah, he's subject to the international bonus restrictions because of his age. It actually makes no sense whatsoever for him to come over now. -

If Otani does post this offseason, 30 teams will be in play because the max commitment he can receive under the new CBA is a signing bonus of less than $10M. Hard to see him choosing Toronto when literally 30 teams will be offering him almost identical compensation. -
Are the Padres the worst-run team in baseball now? Holding Brad Hand makes no sense. His value should have been higher now than it will ever be, and he's currently pitching at peak level. IMO not selling the most volatile category of asset in the game is pretty indefensible. They seem to get everything wrong.

Nice buy Sammy
-
Any interest in Jharel Cotton?
-
My bad. You're good
-
Can you guys process the MLB portion of this via yahoo with whoever jaysblue is dropping for Lynn?
-
I think Stroman is just a significantly better asset. His performance has been steadier, he's under control for a year longer, and he has no history of arm troubles. Gray had his derailed by arm issues, and lost a month this year to a lat strain.This feels like Oakland getting what they can while he's healthy.

Kershaw Darvish Hill Wood Maeda Ryu Not bad.
