    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.

    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.

    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.
  19. glory
    Yup. Unless they come up with an agreement tomorrow out of the blue, this lockout is going to last longer now. Even if they somehow agreed on all the topics (CBT, pre arb, etc), soon they'll have to figure out how 2022 salaries and service time will be distributed for less than 162 games. Hint: owners will want prorated salaries, players will want full salaries, and more s*** to have to work out. Losing games because of the QO is insane to me. I can't even wrap my head around that.

    MLBPA wants $65 million with $5m increases every year, so it will be $85m by year 5. The owners want $40m flat. Over a five year span that's a difference of $200m (owners) versus $375m (players). So gap is still pretty significant. CBT is close enough to where that shouldn't be an issue. I have no idea why the players care about the international draft at all. Those prospects are not part of the union. It's the reason why you can tell Tony Clark that minor league players are getting paid with peanut butter sandwiches as currency and he wouldn't flinch because it has no impact on the union. Seems like an odd thing to be a non starter.

    Apparently the NBC/Peacock deal is simply taking the games that ESPN used to have, which were non exclusive games on Monday and Wednesday. If that's the case, then the NBC games are likely to be on the local cable channels and MLBtv as well, as opposed to Apple games which will be exclusively on Apple TV. Given the disparity in the amount of money MLB is getting from NBC ($30m/yr) versus what they're getting from Apple ($85m/yr), I can't imagine NBC is getting exclusive games, so it shouldn't impact how fans view it. Instead of airing on ESPN it will be on Peacock or NBC Sports. That's the way I am interpreting it at least, could be wrong.
  22. glory
    Yeah if there's no deal today/this morning, then I don't think there will be one any time soon. If no deal this week, then you can add salary/service time during shortened season to the list of things they'd have to bargain/agree to. It's only going to get worse if they can't agree today.
  23. glory
    If the players don't accept this, then I really won't fault the owners at all. Nothing seems unreasonable, and some of it looks really good for the players compared to the last CBA and/or previous proposals.
  24. glory
    Not surprised MLB has gone to streaming services for weekly games. It's inevitable for all sports, but specifically those that rely on local/regional cable. The RSN model is going to change significantly over the next few years, and MLB will need to find a way to recoup some of that money. We will probably see more of these types of deals in the next few years. Exclusive games without any blackout restrictions is valuable, especially for Apple that doesn't have any sports content yet, so I'm sure MLB is getting a nice chunk of change on this one. Whether it's the best timing to announce this just as they are crying poor in labor negotiations is another story.

    The Rays trade players the moment they make more than the league minimum, but sure, they made a play for Freeman.
