    That said, you have to believe this reaches its resolution sooner rather than later. Pitchers and catchers report in less than 2 weeks and Boras clients have not had great success holding out into ST/ the season.
  2. Post Count Padder
    Maybe I'm missing something, why would the Red Sox want to add a 3B? Even if they move one or Devers to DH, then were does Yoshida play? Shift Duran to CF and Rafaela back to 2B?

    Maybe this has been brought up, but I feel like Law is a contrarian, and he enjoys being a bit of an outlier. Seems like he touts favorites a lot and has negative opinions of prospects who are generally well regarded. Then again, I don't know if his track record is any better than the norm.
  4. Post Count Padder
    He's actually getting a 40-man roster spot! He's gonna hit .330 next year isn't he.
  5. Post Count Padder
    Well there it is, take the Mets out of the Alonso/Cease discussions. Their roster is full.

    Unless Bregman truly wants to play in Chicago and hates the idea of Detroit, I just don't see how it happens. Maybe he gets a Bellinger type deal for 3 years with opt-outs and hopes he can bet on himself for more money in a year or two? And again, I'd rather have Shaw and Hoerner than Shaw and Bregman.
  7. Post Count Padder
    I was thinking that. And there's also the possibility you go to an organization you think can help get you where you want to be with mechanics and performance and parlay that into a deal elsewhere during the season or next offseason. We've seen the Cubs sign guys like this to a MiLB deal and then they ask for their release to go to another team or overseas.

    Anyone know when Pipeline is doing their new Top 30s?
  9. Post Count Padder
    Yeah Shaw is untouchable for me, especially after trading Cam Smith.
  10. Post Count Padder
    Yeah and we apparently wanted him previously so the interest is there. And he is due just $4.5 mil this season so PTR would be happy. But I'd rather have Robertson still.
  11. Post Count Padder
    Ok so can we just do Cease and Suarez for Caissie, Assad, Merryweather or Keegan Thompson and, say, Pedro Ramirez? Seems like that should be enough. Maybe another lottery ticket.
  12. Post Count Padder
    The idea of the Cubs re-acquiring Cease in a deal that has the Padres re-acquiring Caissie is amusing to me.
  13. Post Count Padder
    Charlie Sheen (Carlos Estevez) to the Royals for 2 years and $22 million. Considering he's coming off a good season as a closer and will presumably handle the 9th inning, wonder if we can then get Robertson for under 10.
  14. Post Count Padder
    Yeah I would much rather have Nico and put Shaw at third. It is a fascinating idea though of sending Nico+ for a solid starting pitcher and then signing Bregman and having Shaw man 2B. But many more wins is Bregman worth over Hoerner?
  15. Post Count Padder
    Rays sign Ha-Seong Kim, 2 years and $29 mil.
  16. Post Count Padder
    No Derniche or Fernando Cruz or Nazier Mule on that list is bonkers to me. I have them each in my top 30. I know it's subjective and they're all fairly raw but cmon.
  17. Post Count Padder
    One thing that could help push a trade with the Cubs is the Padres have absolutely nothing in terms of OF depth. Both in AAA and the prospect pool. I was looking at last year's lists and their depth chart and it's basically just Tirso Ornelas. And their AAA OF includes Cole Roederer and Yonathan Perlaza. Heck even Canario might be enticing (not in place of a big prospect, just a sweetener and help out our 40 man crunch).
  18. Post Count Padder
    Berti is official, and Luis Vazquez draws the short straw and gets DFA'd.
  19. Post Count Padder
    Quite a list. Hard to argue with the top 10, though I think Long needs to hit the ground running for me to think of him as a Top 10 guy. I'd have Valdez in the top 20 and I don't feel that good about Gray. I really don't know if he'll get the control problems figured out. This will be a big year for him. And I have not paid attention to Erian Rodriguez. Must be a favorite of his.
  20. Post Count Padder
    I'd love King but another big trade for a rental seems unlikely to me. That said, if we could swing a deal with Morejon included to beef it up, I'm game. Assad, Alcantara/Caissie, Aliendo (they desperately need upper level catching) and Pedro Ramirez?
  21. Post Count Padder
    Gavin Hollowell is still on the 40 man. Seems unlikely he survives much longer. An easy space to free up would be returning Workman and then working out a deal with Detroit to keep him, if that's how that works.
  22. Post Count Padder
    So he's super low on Caissie and higher on Alcantara at this point than most people. Is this because he thinks Caissie is a power-only guy? And he think KA is more well-rounded?
  23. Post Count Padder
    I thought they'd kick in like 4 or 5 mil. That's quite a bit.
  24. Post Count Padder
    Maybe I missed it but how much are the Astros covering?
  25. Post Count Padder
    Bello is a nice prospect but not a huge loss. Good deal.
