The team isn't really in a position to be choosy. They have no 3B and the only 3+ win option in FA probably costs 150M. They need an everyday OF, and the only 3+ win (maybe) option probably costs 200M. Swapping Kikuchi for Polanco gives them a 2-3 win option at 3B at 10.5M this year with a team option for 2025. Salary is basically a wash. Only instead of having to target Chapman, they move to a market that includes Yamamoto, Imanaga, Snell, Montgomery, Stroman, Paxton, Montas etc... Even if it's just Paxton they sign, it's Polanco (1/10.5 + 12M team option for 2025) Paxton (1/10?) vs. Chapman (6/150?) Kikichi (1/12) For basically the same projected 2024 WAR

Polanco is good and the team doesn't have a 3B
-
Disaster waiting to happen. The Cubs have a pile of money to spend, holes at the two positions Bellinger plays, and just had him for an entire session. I don’t want to be the team outbidding them for him.
-
They’re in a tough spot. They only have 2 MLB outfielders, and the only guy on the market clearly better than Gurriel (probably) is a walking landmine who might get 200M.
-
Where are you seeing this?
-
I kind of thought he’d be back in Toronto on a deal something like that.
-
-
Yup. I'd happily roster him in DDL or BORED
-
Starting to think Bauer is never coming back. If it happens, it's probably going to be this offseason, but there' been radio silence on his market.
-
He's a legitimate moron "And in October, Franco posted and then quickly took down a link to a song, Cambio, by Puerto Rican rappers Ozuna and Anuel AA. The lyrics translated from Spanish, referenced “so many friends that I helped, so many girls that I trusted, they were all Judas, you saw it” and also “Everyone is looking for money.”"

I kind of like what the Royals have cooking honestly. Ragans is a stud, and now has 3-4 solid guys behind him in the rotation. Witt, Perez, Pasquantino are all really fun. Some upside with Melendez, Garcia, and Isbel.
-
Finally, Kikuchi has broken his silence
-
Exactly the same terms that the poverty Padres declined
-
Kershaw just said he feels great and will be back at midseason
-
-
Missed that Castillo Kirby Snell Gilbert Miller Woo Hancock Ray (midseason) Would just be an embarrassment of riches
-
They're honestly low-key really solid additions
-
-
Toronto should be in on him IMO. A WAR is a WAR, and there's nothing wrong with stacking the rotation if a big bat isn't available. It would also free them up to trade another arm for the bat they're looking for.
-
What Quero? Either way the Kirk side
-
Agreed JDM feels like exactly what the team needs: a monster power bat in the middle of the lineup. He also might be more valuable than the WARs suggest, if you believe in the DH penalty.
-
Deluca is going to be annoyingly good for TB
-
Reports of jays being interested in JDM. He’d be a great addition.
-
I agree but I don't think they'd include Burnes, due to optics. Adames would be great though. Or even prospect capital.
-
Taking on the 5/136.5 left that Yelich is owed might be the best way to add someone with 4-win upside. We'd get a legit asset or two for doing it.
