on Morosi of MLB.com reports that the Blue Jays have had conversations with Freddie Freeman's representation and "conveyed serious interest."​

The Jays aren't an obvious fit for Freeman with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. entrenched at first base, but they do have the designated hitter spot available and also possibility could give Vlad Jr. another shot at third base. Freeman is not going to return to the Braves after they traded for Matt Olson, and the Dodgers, Yankees and Rays have displayed interest in addition to the Blue Jays. A dual citizen who played for Team Canada in the 2017 World Baseball Classic, Freeman is expected to make a decision soon.

Very good defensive catcher, decent outfielder with a lot of potential and a couple of young starters. Kusick looks like a monster -- 6'6", 235. over 18Ks per 9 innings in his debut. Estes has potential also. Pache is still a very respected prospect.
That looks like a pretty good haul for the Athletics.

Nick Groke of The Athletic reports that the Rockies have signed free agent right-hander Chad Kuhl to a major league contract.​

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com adds that Kuhl will receive a $3 million salary plus performance bonuses. He'll likely open the 2022 season in the Rockies' starting rotation. The 29-year-old righty holds a respectable 4.44 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 395/195 K/BB ratio across 439 2/3 innings (100 appearances, 84 starts) since 2016.
Kuhl story, bro

Yay we’re doing something.

Red Sox signed LHP Jake Diekman to a two-year $8 million contract.​

The deal also comes with a team option for the 2024 season. Diekman posted a 3.86 ERA last season in the Athletics bullpen last season and recorded seven saves with a 12/31 K/9 over 60 2/3 innings.

Who do you think will get him?
He's a SoCal kid.

Angels?
I'm thinking Dodgers or Yankees but I just read the Red Sox are in the mix as well. If I had to pick one I'd say Dodgers

Bobby Bonilla is the go to punching bag joke for deferred contracts but Ken Griffey Jr is going to be the 6th highest paid Reds player this season:

just wow

Braves signed INF Matt Olson to an eight-year $168 million extension.​

The deal comes with a $20 million option for 2030. Olson will make $15 million this season, $21 million in 2023, and $22 million a year over the remainder of his contract. Atlanta recently acquired Olson in a trade with the Athletics to replace long-time fan favorite Freddie Freeman at first base. The 27-year-old four-posted a .271/.371/.540 slash line with a career-high 39 homers and four stolen bases in 673 plate appearances last year and will be a fantasy baseball stud for years to come.

That actually doesn’t sound like a crazy contract. It has a 21m aav and $$s shrink as we go forward, so by the end of that contract, 21m will be similar to a lower end starting level player.

Nice signing by Atl, imho.

Just a little puzzling that they wouldn't give Freeman 6 years, but no problem with giving Olson 8.

:noidea:

Would freeman have done 6/126?

I legit don’t know. I haven’t been following the situation that closely.

I read he asked Atlanta for a 6 year deal and they declined. Not sure about the AAV
Talking out of my ass, but maybe he was asking for 6/180? or had some riders that were unreasonable. Or maybe their scouting department just didn’t think he would age very well.

And Freeman is 5 years older than Olson…

Lots of variables that we simply don’t know.
