WHO GOES WHERE

[nynasty]

Multiple publications out of Japan are reporting that Seiya Suzuki has agreed to a five-year deal with the Cubs.​

Tokyo Sports has it as a $70 million agreement, which would be the largest contract ever for a Japanese player. More to come, assuming these reports are true.

Huh

Figured he would end up on the west coast

 

[navamind]

At least we signed Jake Diekman!!!

That probably closes the door to Bryant going there.

5/85
Full no trade
14m posting fee (essentially making it a 5/99)

A good addition to any team but I was hoping they could work something for Bryant or Chapman

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Royals have signed Zack Greinke to a one-year, $13 million contract.​

There is another $2 million available in innings-based bonuses, per Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Greinke began his professional career in the Royals organization and won a Cy Young Award in Kansas City back in 2009, so this should be a fun reunion story. The now 38-year-old right-hander pitched to a 4.16 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 120/36 K/BB ratio over 171 regular-season innings with the Astros in 2021.

Reds signed INF Donovan Solano to a one-year, $4.5 million contract.​

The news was already spoiled by the sudden arrival of a Solano nameplate inside the Reds' spring training clubhouse. The 34-year-old should be a candidate for regular playing time on the Cincinnati infield in 2022 following the trade of Eugenio Suarez. Solano doesn't have much power but slashed .328/.362/.459 in 431 plate appearances with the Giants between 2019-2021.

Padres signed RHP Nick Martinez to a four-year, $20 million contract.​

The deal was agreed upon way back on December 1 but is just now being finalized following the nearly 100-day MLB/MLBPA lockout. Martinez looks like a strong candidate for the final spot in the Padres' season-opening starting rotation after registering a 1.62 ERA and 146 strikeouts over 149 2/3 innings (23 starts) last year for the SoftBank Hawks in Japan. He should have late-round intrigue in fantasy drafts.

You can go home again.

Perfect landing spot for him. He can help coach some of the young kids.

Do you really want a guy like Greinke influencing your young players? Greinke is a WEIRD dude…

He can show them how a major leaguer handles situations. Yes he is a bit strange, but he knows his stuff.

Holy shit.

he will put up numbers there, but they will be complete park numbers. In a neutral park, he is a .850 OPS hitter. At Coors, he might be a .950.
