Semien, Story, Suzuki

LETS FUCKING GO

LFG!

Does this mean Story gets at least 8/$200?

probably more dollars. i've seen 8 years $239M

Does this mean Story gets at least 8/$200?

This guarantees Story gets 8 years. My guess is whoever guarantees a 9th year lands him.

has anyone heard anything on the Suzuki front?

He's been posted and has 30 days to review offers. That's as far as it's gone I believe.

I wonder if we begin trading prospects now. I thought that would come much later, but with this move our 4th best prospect, Foscue, is a goner. So, does than mean we mostly value only our top 3 prospects as future pieces and maybe 1 or 2 more? Does that make just about anyone else trade bait?

Or is Semien actually our SS instead of one of the top 3 FA shortstops?

This creates a lot of questions.

I wouldn't count on any trades this off-season.

I didn't before, but I wasn't counting on spending on a 2B either. Things are a lot different now.
