O’s sign Charlie Morton to a one year deal.

an innings eater with a good curveball who raises the floor of the rotation.

Joy.

Forgot Bregman didn’t sign yet. Free agency needs to pick back up

I'd rather sign Bregman than trade for Arenado honestly, especially if it involves moving Casas. They'd still have to move Yoshida. I'm also just very bearish on Arenado as a hitter going forward

If the Sox don't care about payroll, they'll take Bregman - especially if he can slide into 2B. I'd rather have Arenado for three years, than Bregman for six... Doesn't this already feel like another Boras fuck-up (wait until Spring Training and hope someone get's desperate, then end up with a shit deal - like Snell & Montgomery)...

I also hate this "trade Casas" talk. If it comes down to moving Devers from third for better defense - just get rid of Yoshida and platoon Devers and Casas at 1B/DH....

Seriously, just include Masa in any trade, and pay the rest of his salary.

I hate it, especially if it's for getting Alonso? He's a fine player, but I don't see why a healthy Casas couldn't match his 123 OPS+ he's had the last two seasons. Yeah he won't match Alonso's power numbers, but likely with superior OBPs.

RiP Brian Matusz. Only 37, no cause of death released yet that I've seen

Man, that's awful. Feels like just yesterday he was making his MLB debut.
