Bleacher Report is indicating the following relievers will probably available thru trade:
Justin Lawrence
Jason Foley
Hunter Harvey
Kyle Finnegan

Any 2 of these would be good for me

Love this.

The 40 man roster has been changed so that deGrom and Martin no longer show to be on the 60-day DL. Hedges us still there though.

When a players performance is described this much differently than other's descriptions it makes it seem the evaluation is emotional. Emotions cut both ways.

But that doesn't mean it's accurate it's that persons opinion and those vary from supposed expert to supposed expert about players performance and capabilities...

Think Josh Smith is headed to Dominican league for winter ball. He needs some winter ball work
Will be keeping an eye on him

Definitely needs to work on his hitting...

2. Ohtani will surprise many by signing with the world champion Texas Rangers. The contract includes incentives, escalator clauses and award bonuses that will make him the highest-paid player in the history of the sport. The Dodgers and Mariners finish as the runner-ups in the Shohei sweepstakes.

He needs at bats more than anything, but at the same time he needs instruction that he would be more likely to get stateside. He should have a very busy winter.

I wonder if any of our young pitchers will make a Cole Ragans like transformation this winter. If so, will the Rangers decision makers be able to recognize it any better than they did with Ragans?

It would be great if either Owen White or Cole Winn could make such a transformation.

 

[saddles]

If we get Ohtani, I wonder what ripple effects it would have on the rest of the team building efforts. I would think it would mean we wouldn't sign anyone else and might even have to shed some payroll.

Ohtani is like playing with fire or rolling the dice. Better be careful.

Overkill. We need to re-sign Montgomery & Garver and sign Hader plus add 3 or 4 relievers thru free agency and/or trade

That is my concern.

MLB Traderumors predicts:

Garver will get 3 years and $39 million -- $13 million AAV

Montgomery to get 6 years and $150 million -- $25 million AAV

Hader to get 6 years and $110 million -- $18.33 million AAV

Ohtani to get 12 years and $528 million -- $44 million AAV

Yamamoto to get 9 years and $225 million -- $25 million AAV

Imanaga to get 5 years and $85 million -- $17 million AAV

Jordan Hicks to get 4 years and $40 million -- $10 million AAV

Nick Martinez to get 2 years and $25 million -- $12.5 million AAV

Yuki Matsui to get 2 years and $16 million -- $8 million AAV

Hector Nerris to get 2 years and $15 million -- $7.5 million AAV

That Jordan Hicks seems wrong. 4 years $40M works out to $10M AAV not $20M AAV

Thanks. I fixed it.

 

[scotsman#1948]

Thanks. I fixed it.

had me worried about my math skills

I don’t see Hader taking less than 20. Some on this list look low.
