    Yeah, Schwarber + a 3B (not named Villar) is a much more sensible idea than signing Freeman. Of course the issue with that is the FA 3B market sucks, so they'll have to lose some assets in order to get Ramirez (if available/realistic) or Chapman (definitely available but at what cost?) in that scenario. This lineup with Ramirez and Schwarber added to it is fap worthy.

    People will get used to the ghost runner and within 3-5 years it will be considered common place. Change usually sucks, especially as we get older, but often times it is necessary. This is just the beginning. The game is going to change, and it has to. This is just one way to help baseball's time issue.

    Honestly, I’d be happy if Freeman signed here and just as happy if he didn’t. It’s a weird thing where I really like the player but it’s just a bad fit positionally. We will see what happens. Baerga has been right before but he’s clearly back peddling.

    Schwarber + a 3B makes more sense than signing Freeman, although the latter would create way more buzz.

    A regular 9 inning game can take 3.5 to 4 hours to finish. Neither the players nor most fans want to see 18 inning marathons that end at 2 am with only 6 people still left in the stands. If you want to argue that they could try something different than the runner on 2nd, then fine, but the point of the ghost runner is to end the games as quickly as possible, and as long as it's only there for the regular season, then it's the right call. It's also less gimmicky than a home run derby to decide a winner, or something like that.

    1. Carlos Baerga 2. Giraffe Neck Guy 3. Anyone else on social media 4. Morosi Just for accuracy purposes.

    Atlanta is not a factor anymore but to get Freeman away from LAD/NYY, it would probably take one more year than the other teams are offering (so either 5 or most likely 6 years). You'd have to hope he ages like Joey Votto in that case. If it happens, then 100% move Vlad to 3B, for better or worse. He's not going to like being a DH at age 23, especially after working his butt off to get in shape, and signing Freeman to DH would be a waste.

    What else could the Jays get if they took Moustakas?

    Agreed, deal doesn't look that great for the A's at all. Maybe one or two of the players turn out ok or good, but certainly not the haul that Passan was hyping it up to be.

    The Braves are likely better off with 2 years of prime Olson rather than 5-6 years of Freddie's decline, but man, I don't know if it's cheap ownership or AA suddenly only wanting to give out poverty contracts but after winning a title and making a ton of money as a team, Freddie was the guy to overpay if anyone.

    With Correa's options shrinking, I wonder if he becomes a realistic target here. If the Jays were in on Seager as reported, and in on Freeman (who aside from being LH is a horrible positional fit), then Correa probably isn't an unrealistic target, especially if he is looking into a high AAV short term deal to get back on the market next year (an idea that Rosenthal played around with, no clue if it's likely). I don't see any team giving him $350m or close to it other than maybe the Astros, but their last offer was WAY below that and I doubt they increase it that much when his market has dried up since then.

    After 2020, I never want to see Villar play again. Hope someone outbids Atkins here.

    No question that this deal could end up looking bad. Performance hasn't been there for Kikuchi, and a one year deal probably would have been safer, but ultimately he's replacing Matz in the rotation, and a lefty who throws mid 90's and misses bats is something Walker has shown he can work with. There is stuff to like about Kikuchi. I'm guessing this is what the Jays offered Matz, which he turned down obviously, and this was pivot.

    Not surprised. Lefty who throws mid 90s and misses bats at a solid clip. Give him to Pete Walker and see what happens.

    Has Morosi said anything yet? With a 3 month lockout I almost miss Trollosi making s*** up for clicks.

    I refuse to believe teams, players, agents, etc weren’t talking during the lockout so I guess everyone wants to wait to avoid looking like they were tampering. A frenzy is coming though. They have no choice. Spring training starts this weekend basically so teams will need to start filling out their rosters.

    So I’ve heard nothing about the “choose your opponent” feature in the playoffs so I guess that’s not part of the CBA? Would have made sense to have the division winner that ends up involved in the WC round to get to choose their opponent as a bonus for winning a division but I guess they’ll go by seeding instead. Would have been Yanks/Red Sox and White Sox/Jays last season with this format.

    This is terrible news for the AL Central, but good for the Jays.
  22. glory
    Teams almost certainly talked to free agents and other GM's during the lockout. It's like the NBA where teams can't legally talk to free agents until a certain time but then signings are announced within minutes. I'd be surprised if we don't see a similar flurry tonight.
  23. glory
    These next 1-2 weeks are going to be insane when it comes to signings and trades. So happy.

    Baseball is back! Thank god!

    As long as Tony Clark is involved, "stupidest possible way" is a given for any decision the MLBPA makes.
