MLB Offseason Moves

[catman]

Bassitt to the Jays. He slots in as their #4 starter.

 

[catman]

Christian Vasquez to the Twins, per Jon Heyman.

Good pickup for the Braves. I don't know what the A's are thinking. The Brewers did ok getting Contreras as well

Mil mightve won the deal

 

[The Q]

It’s not quite that bad

That would’ve been if they got the lowest prospects in the entire Braves system

 

[The Q]

Christian Vasquez to the Twins, per Jon Heyman.

Solid deal for now.

He was a 2 win player last year

A’s top three prospects are all hitters than can catch.

A’s top three prospects are all hitters than can catch.

Considering what they allegedly asked other clubs for…this isn’t even close to that

Soderstrom probably won't be catching on a daily basis. He played 93 more innings at 1B than C this year.

For sure. He’s a hitter, that can catch.

No idea what they asked other clubs for.


Care to share?

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, citing a source, reported the A’s sought a return from the Cardinals that included outfielder Lars Nootbaar, Gold Glove-winner Brendan Donovan and a power young pitcher like Gordon Graceffo. However, another source briefed on the talks said the A’s wanted Nootbaar or Donovan plus Graceffo. The Cardinals were unwilling to trade any of those players, and instead wanted the A’s to choose two from a group of four consisting of outfielder Dylan Carlson, second baseman Nolan Gorman, outfielder Alec Burleson and first baseman Juan Yepez.

Either of these feels better than what they accepted from ATL, IMO.

They got a lot more depth with what they took.

It’s not like Sean Murphy is Pudge Rodriguez or anything.

Depth is fine with minor moves, but Murphy is probably a top 10 c on reasonable pricing and 3 years of control

Ross Stripling to the Giants. -- 2/$25MM with an opt out.

Ross Stripling to the Giants. -- 2/$25MM with an opt out.

Fantastic deal

 

[catman]

Correa to the Giants, 13/$350MM, full no-trade clause.
The Giants had to do something to shore up their offense this off-season. They missed on Judge.

So they had to overpay or risk striking out on everyone big. So they overpaid, a lot. Oh well, not my money, they got plenty.
