Hot Stove 2020

Hmmm....$1million+ per start. I can't wrap my head around where the value is.

Rendon is the better player, but 3B has more potential options/depth than a top-tier SP, so I could see where the Nats are going with this one...they could make a run at signing Donaldson, and it looks like Bryant and Andujar and maybe even Chapman might be available for trade.

agreed, 3rd base is very deep.

Cole's going to get over $300M from somebody.

 

[The Q]

Pham is a good player for sure. The Padres won that deal.

Very interesting for both teams.

Tampa has a pretty good outfield defense.

they get a very interesting prospect.

but it’s tough to deal Pham after winning so many games last year.

we all remember the last time San Diego tried to compete too soon...

Going to be interesting to see where Cole ends up. I think the Yankees will sign him.

I don't.

I'm not hearing anything about the other teams reportedly in on Cole, just that they're "in play". Yet there's reams of information about the Yankees offer(s). That tells me the Yankees are getting scared they'll miss out on Cole

Didi Gregorius, Phillies agree to deal at MLB Winter Meetings, report says


I guess this is good.

He had Tommy John surgery last year.

He had Tommy John surgery last year.

When is he supposed to be able to play again? Hopefully soon. It's a one year deal

He may be ready for the start of the season.

For 14 million bucks I would hope so.

Giants signed Zack Cozart and Kevin Gausman. The deals are all going down now- I guess the GM's started drinking.

Think Cozart was a trade with LAA for cash.

14 million is just chump change now.

You’re just some average asshole if you’re making $14MM lolz

Giving Gausman 9 million with an additional 1 million in bonuses..I would say you are correct sir.

Greinke and Correa to the Cubs for Kris Bryant and Yu Darvish

My dad remembers when Willie Mays became the first player to make $100,000 and people thought that was extravagant.

The translators that run to the mound with the pitching coach/manager probably make three times that.

Try $400M. The Yanks are primed to get him, but the Dodgers, Astros and others are in the mud puddle. If the Red Sox can dump off Mookie, they'll be jump in too.

Boras had to change his BVDs when Stasburg signed yesterday.
