    I don't really understand how you can be high on Seager but scoff at Gregorious despite the latter likely ending up costing less. Is it that Seager hits the ball a bit harder? They project to be basically the same player with minor differences in their hitting profile.

    His expected stats have always been like this, this is just who he is. He thrives on pulling the ball and putting it in the air often while basically never striking out. That works if your home ballpark is Yankee Stadium, Citizens Bank, and the Rogers Centre. It's not like his EV being low is a recent development, he's always hit like this. Sign me up for league average hitting with average to above defense at 3B and 2B with the ability to play at SS when necessary. We've had a black hole at one of our infield positions for the last two seasons, adding an "average" player like Didi is already a massive improvement, I'm certainly not scoffing at the 2.5 WAR that he projects at a reasonable price just because he's not a superstar. How exactly are you guys expecting us to address the infield situation?

    It's a Moneyball (the movie, not sure about the book) reference isn't it?

    Bauer and his agent are out to lunch if he thinks he can get a deal like that. I don't care how data driven he is and how he seems to believe he can pitch every other day, he's not Jacob deGrom. Bauer has no business getting a 5/170 deal after one elite season two years ago and one third of an elite season both in the worst divisions in baseball. I'd certainly welcome his addition to the rotation and I know it would take us overpaying to get it done but hard pass at those terms.

    What's so bad about what he wrote on Martin? Sounds like a pretty good prospect to me. It's fine to have a different opinion from the industry and present some skepticism for a guy, while I can't speak to "he did not look elite from an eyeball scouting perspective" which is dumn scouty talk he gave some potentially valid criticism of him while also praising his hitting ability. What doesn't make sense and contradicts this entire list is him listing a 60 FV, a 55 FV and 5 other 50 FV prospects along with Manoah on the cusp and claiming that this team will rank near the bottom of the farm rankings. Either his methodology for ranking farm systems is very flawed and he doesn't consider having a number of 50 FVs more valuable than a million 40 FVs or he's contradicting his own rankings of the 45+ and above tier prospects.

    What? Brantley isn't a pure DH, he's rated as above average by DRS and UZR the past two seasons. Signing Cruz gives us zero flexibility in shuffling Teoscar, Vladdy, Tellez, and any players with nagging injuries through DH.
  8. Orgfiller
    He sure wasn't talking about Pillar that way when he was on the team.

    Someone's "source" went rogue or were intentionally feeding misleading information. Safe to say they won't be a source for much longer.

    AJ Preller is gonna throw himself off a bridge if after the offseason they've had the Dodgers still get the best available pitcher.
  11. Orgfiller
    I think less important than conditioning the deal on the trade itself, i.e. the redundancy created by having Brantley along with Grichuk, Gurriel and Teoscar, is the 40-man roster situation. If they officially sign Brantley then they might be forced to make the move now whereas it becomes a lot easier to do this once a trade has happened.
  12. Orgfiller
    If a deal was in place they would just say "there is an agreement pending a physical". Looks like someone got bad info and they're the same source for all of these people.
  13. Orgfiller
    He got the yips at second and couldn't make routine throws to first. I'd be worried about putting him back there and ruining him but it's possible that's behind him and he can play a passable/below-average 2B/3B now.
  14. Orgfiller
    Three of those teams aren't pitcher rich at all.

    There's a Bradley in this year's FA class lol.

    Significant typo in the title had me worried for a second.

    It's also weirdly matter-of-fact. You'd think he would break the news himself in a tweet on his timeline rather than nonchalantly dropping a bomb in a random reply chain.
  18. Orgfiller
    Steve Cohen and Sandy Alderson confirmed betas.
  19. Orgfiller
    This may be a hot take (although I don't think it's that outlandish), Bichette is a more valuable asset than Gleyber Torres and that asking price was a non starter for the Yankees. Now obviously the Reds aren't in any rush to move Castillo, so if their asking price is one of those two then quite clearly there is no discussion to be had.

    I was waiting all f***ing night for Passan to confirm or deny it. George Springer is a Blue Jay!
  21. Orgfiller
    This is the first actual reputable reporter to weigh in on this. Rosenthal is saying it's a 70% chance of happening based on how close the negotiations are. Still not convinced until the contract is actually signed.
  22. Orgfiller
    Ah yes, if 3rd year dental student and part time Blue Jays blogger Wins and Flosses with their 500 followers says so then that's all I needed to sleep tonight.
  23. Orgfiller
    Interesting that the $15M option in the final year is even more of a poison pill than we already knew about if he gets traded. Hendriks' agent did very well for their client. You also have to think other teams were coming in with similar if not more aggressive AAVs for fewer years or less guaranteed money for that fourth year and that's what it took for the White Sox to land him.
  24. Orgfiller
    Walker wouldn't be a better addition than Tanaka or Paxton. Hell I don't think he'd be better than any of Porcello, Odorizzi, Shoemaker, Happ, Quintana or Chris Archer who would all cost similar or less and likely produce more.
  25. Orgfiller
    Hendriks has been the best reliever in baseball since 2019 with an uptick in fasbtall velocity and stuff. He was as valuable in 2019 as Luis Castillo and that's not even accounting for the leverage index which doesn't currently get captured by WAR and arguably makes elite relievers much more valuable. He's getting less than Aroldis Chapman currently and Kenley Jansen's last deal.
