Maybe we would get more new posters if the rest of us took the initiative to advertise the board like this

Thames to the Nats, one year 3M + mutual option.

The first one was frustratingly familiar but I couldn't place him and then I quit.

This post is aging well thus far

f*** it I'll do it. If JFL wants to co manage that would be cool.

I will jump back in if JFL agrees to co manage.

Yeah that makes sense, likely would be a near impossible undertaking. Dozens of signings per team and not all figures are available. Would be nice to even have estimates in order to see who hypothetically may still be able to make an offer with this year's money. IIRC didn't we spend most of our remaining pool on the Dutch kid?

I can't seem to find anywhere that tracks remaining IFA pool money.

Does not look 18, would have figured he was well into his 20s from that photo. Edit - He's 21, I'm dumb. The MLBTR article suggests he may wait until J2 to sign, when there is more money available.

I'd rate the Shaw deal as an 'A' without a doubt. The cost is so minimal compared to the potential upside, and we get that extra year of control as well.

Greetings, internet friendos. It's that time of the year again - time to vote for the best and worst posters of our very dear message board. This is getting posted a bit later than usual, so maybe we could extend the voting into January if we're lacking in the number of votes.

We lost 5th overall when signing Ryu, but received 29 as compensation for Ben Cherington

What the f*** did you just f***ing say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the f*** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my f***ing words. You think you can get away with saying that s*** to me over the Internet? Think again, f***er. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're f***ing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little s***. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your f***ing tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will s*** fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're f***ing dead, kiddo.

At their (pre signing period) predicted costs of 58/4 for Castellanos and 45/3 for Osuna, the latter should be a pretty easy choice.

MLBTR posted a comparison between Castellanos and Ozuna. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/12/free-agent-faceoff-castellanos-vs-ozuna.html Less than 1% difference currently in the poll asking fans who they would rather their team sign.

The latest reports on Puig made it sound like he might not have much of a market, could be a good opportunity. Castellanos is a legit middle of the order bat in his prime still sitting out there.

It's official!!
