The Phillies do that they might become the favorites in the NL. I figure they get Harper plus Kuechel.
I think you're right. Even if they get Manny plus Harp, they still will get Kuechel.

Doubt they get both Machado and Harper. Doubt any team gets them both.I think you're right. Even if they get Manny plus Harp, they still will get Kuechel.
The Reds are making a really serious push for third place in the division.
Shed Long is 23 and hasn't played above AA. He's been a lotto ticket for the Reds. They still have Scooter at 2B with Senzel or India figuring to be the future of the position.Holy overpayment.
I figured a team like sd was trying to get him to rehab his value and flip him at the deadline for more.
But that would require a big comeback for the reds to get more.
Long might not be a 2nd baseman much longer either, and his bat might not profile as well in the outfield.Shed Long is 23 and hasn't played above AA. He's been a lotto ticket for the Reds. They still have Scooter at 2B with Senzel or India figuring to be the future of the position.

Hot Stove used to be fun before the MLB scribes turned into sophomoric fools who gleaned rosters and dreamed up 'does he fit'? scenarios for every team named NYY, Boston or LAD.Remember when the hot stove was fun about 6 weeks ago.
It is crazy. Something has to be done someway to get players signed quicker. Harper and Machado shouldn't be still out there going into February.
Two-sided knife, I suppose. Most of us wouldn't want to be managed by the rules but in the case of a business model that depends on fan investment (tickets, merchandise) it seems like they'd want their people in place sooner than the last 20 days or so before people have to make plans on visiting spring training.It is crazy.

Pitchers & Catchers report in less than 2 weeks in some camps.
And 4 of the top 5 FA (according to MLBTR) are unsigned.
Crazy.
