    Why is it a good deal for a team as bad as Ottawa to trade for an RFA who could be a UFA in a year? They've traded for the right to overpay a goalie. Meh. (I don't know anything about the prospect they gave up. I'm assuming the pick isn't worth all that much. Maybe they paid very little, in which case it's fine.)

    If Nate Pearson ever figures it out he'll get special treatment too.

    Is Arozarena the new Trout or something?

    It wasn't that bad because most of the players who got Covid were near replacement level anyway. They lost like, Miguel Rojas, Sandy Alcantara, and some s***** relievers for a couple of weeks. Mehhhhhh

    Their SP are decent and it's a good young core in the rotation but the bullpen is dumb and the position player side is just plain awful right now and doesn't even look great going forward. I think Jasrado Chisholm, Monte Harrison, Lewis Brinson, Jesus Sanchez might actually all be the same horrible player.

    Marlins: 26th in position player fWAR 27th in pitching fWAR (18th for SP alone) The only reason they were even close to a playoff spot was extreme random variation in a stupidly short season. Over 162 games they are possibly getting a top 5 draft pick again.

    sweet, sweet equilibrium

    Hands are complicated. Some tiny injuries might make playing unbearable while some might not.

    Yes, they did pass. I will decide on an appropriate time and way to make the changes. I just don't want it to be a free agent free-for-all at some random time. I'll probably do it right before the NPD in the spring.

    Apparently the "show minor league players" option was not selected automatically when the league renewed. Weird. It's on now so the player database is correct.

    - Blue Jays suck defensively - It's hard to imagine many of the current position players moving around - One of the more likely options is Bichette to 2B, Biggio to 3B, and a good defensive SS brought in - Simmonds, Semien, and Gregorius are all available but imperfect - Lindor is probably available and is amazing - It makes sense for Toronto to want Lindor - There are a bunch of reasons to not expect it and it would be risky/bold - It's probably a pipe dream... -... or is it!??? !!!

    weird. you don't see much first base TJS.

    Well, most of the WC series were close to coin flips but the A's always run pretty deep teams without big holes. They can't afford to have many non-contributors. Total WAR of all negative fWAR players on Oakland: -1.9 Toronto: -3.5 White Sox: -3.2 Astros: -3.4 Indians: -2.2 Rays: -2.1 Twins: -1.1 Yankees: -2.5 Red Sox: -6.9

    Yankees!

    Fine in theory but it probably takes a shocking overpay to get DJL or Turner to come to Toronto, over their current teams who have all the money in the world and should be trying to retain.

    Yeah the cost was less because of Price BUT there is a talent gap between Mookie and Lindor IMO. And Verdugo is good but I wouldn’t call him a stud. I don’t think Toronto would need to include Biggio, necessarily...
  21. Laika
    It seems like a large number of unowned minor league players aren't showing up in the database at the moment.
  22. Laika
    I dunno, it’s not like Mookie Betts cost a Kings ransom
  23. Laika
    It probably does not hurt him that the Machado and Harper mega contracts did not turn into immediate nightmares, yeah. The 2021 free agent class isn't amazing at the top (Realmuto, Springer, Bauer...) but the 2022 class COULD be insane. I think for shortstops alone Francisco Lindor, Javier Baez, Carlos Correa, Corey Seager, and Trevor Story could all be FA!?
  24. Laika
    The trade and contract markets for Lindor were basically set by the Machado situation
