MLB Offseason Moves

[nynasty]

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.

Lot of years, but it's easy to forget Correa only just turned 28.

Like Judge, the bet he made on himself is paying off in spades.

This extra years are accounting years

Like voidable years in the nfl

Baseball free agency. It' like sex.

You can get a disease ridden cheapy on the street.

Or

You pay through the nose, for a high quality beautiful, clean call girl.

Either way, you pay to get your nut in more ways than one..

You either ot top of the market or bottom bargain hunt

The middle is death

Exceptions are like the manea and stripling deals which are so short they are reasonable gambles

I wonder if the yankees try to trade for Crawford. He's got that sneaky lefthanded power that would play well in Yankee stadium. If Didi can hit 25 bombs there I have no doubt he could as well.

It would make sense

Yeah no way would I give up Espino for Murphy. Great defensive catcher but defense hasn't been the problem for CLE catchers. Murphy is overrated offensively but he will have endless opportunities with great hitters around him ATL. We will see, glad the Indians didn't trade him for what they were asking

 

[Shanemansj13]

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

Yeah I don't get it. They wanted much more from the Cards and Indians. They seemingly did ATL a favor

Idk.

Moving from Oakland will help.


Point is they took way less from atl than they asked from others

Syndergaard to the Dodgers. May be a perfect landing spot for him. He won't be expected to pitch more than a game a week or so, and won't be the big guy in the rotation.
1/$13MM with incentives.

His Tommy John traditional time line says that if he’s going to get velocity back, it’s coming now. This is one of those high ceiling flyers.

[bksballer89]

love it

 

[navamind]

wow. that's a surprisingly reasonable deal for a Boras client

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Will Rodon hit in the playoffs? Solid deal but Yanks need to figure out how to get some bats.

yeah, how dare they improve their rotation after losing Taillon

 

[Nasty_Magician]

I agree, solid upgrade. But also they missed out on every free agent bat and Aaron Hicks is still a starter for them.

 

[catman]

Joey Gallo to the Twins -- 1/$11MM.

 

[molsaniceman]

The White Sox and Andrew Benintendi have agreed to a five-year contract, sources told ESPN's Jesse Rogers.​

Jeff Passan says the deal is worth $75 million. Five years is pretty extreme for a guy who has been an above average regular just once in four years, but Benintendi was one of the youngest free agents available and it was encouraging how he cut back on his strikeouts last year. The White Sox definitely needed the outfield help. They're going to use Andrew Vaughn at first base and give Eloy Jiménez plenty of DH time next season, so the outfield depth chart was pretty bare beyond Luis Robert.

Trevor May to the A's. Eric Hosmer DFA'd by the Red Sox.
