Yeah, them and the Marlins need to get their payroll up or face consequences. They would make great trade partners for a Tyler Mahle trade.

Just saw Sasaki going to the Dodgers. This is getting ridiculous.

They didn't even have to trade for any extra bonus pool money. Kinda like they knew he was signing with them all along.

Deferring money you don’t have caused the past housing crash and eventual bailout.
Best to live within your means
Living on credit exclusively is bad
Call me old school but that’s how I play

I stand corrected. They did trade for some from the Phillies

They didn't give up much, though.

Frim Jon Morosi:

The Cubs are among the top remaining suitors for Tanner Scott, sources say.

Scott could decide from among several multiyear offers this weekend.

 

[saddles]

There is no reason for the Rangers not to be in on Tanner Scott.

A trade a minor league outfielder to the Reds for 1.5 million in international bonus pool space to get the 6.5 million in funds to finalize the Sasaki signing

They eventually got enough to sign Sasaki and another international player.

MLB will just keep sitting on their hands and do nothing. This all started with how the Dodgers signed Ohtani. And with Ohtani there you had to know Sasaki was going to go there as well.
