    He had Dansby first I think. I'd buy it. We could use another bat and another lefty in the pen. And Nico extension.

    Brian Anderson is still a free agent. One year deal and plug him in at third and make Wisdom the DH? Not the sexiest move but improves defense and he was a good hitter pretty recently.

    Yeah Cueto to the Marlins has to mean a trade coming. Really want the Cubs to be involved.
  4. Post Count Padder
    Absolutely incredible stuff. Imagine Cohen gonna have a fun Twitter thread about this.
  5. Post Count Padder
    The Phillies traded three backups for an all star closer. Sounds like a video game trade where you disable the computer rejecting it.

    I had been thinking up some kind of Madrigal, Rivas, ManRod, Rucker, Riley Thompson/insert favorite tradeable prospect to the As for Seth Brown and Aj Puk but idk how much it makes sense or if the A's would even be interested. Seems like it would give them depth and their recent trades have seen them targeting quantity over quality.

    We signed Ryan Borucki to a minors deal. He's been good against lefties in his career and we don't have much lefty relief depth so... Throwing stuff at a wall type signing.

    Nats signed Dom Smith. That's one rumored option off the table. Tbh I was never a big fan so I'm not broken up about it. Seems like it's gonna be Hosmer but I'd hope he gets paired with a power DH bat. And there aren't many available.

    What dark magic does the Braves front office employ in order to get players to sign these team friendly/reasonable contracts?
  10. Post Count Padder
    The Puk/Seth Brown and Luzardo/Wendle are two trades mentioned on this board that I like most because they fit obvious needs. If Madrigal isn't used in either I've wondered about a challenge trade with the Mariners for Kelenic.
  11. Post Count Padder
    That's what I'm thinking? Maybe Mancini is in the works? But I believe the 40 man is still full?
  12. Post Count Padder
    Bummer about Rivas. Always liked him and he's a decent bench bat. He is gonna get claimed or traded. Kay is a former first rounder and decent prospect and also a lefty but has not been good in his brief time in the bigs.

    Arizona also getting Lourdes gurriel in the deal. Wild. They have a surplus of outfielders. I wonder if we could trade for Pavin Smith or Christian Walker.
  14. Post Count Padder
    Now that's an interesting trade. Varsho will presumably play only CF in Toronto with Jansen and Kirk still there. Kiermeier now becomes a backup? Arizona has Carson Kelly at catcher but he's been somewhat disappointing and Moreno could be a stud. Curious who else is in the deal.

    Gross
  16. Post Count Padder
    Just looked it up. The Tigers has 15 players with more than 120 PAs last season and only one of those players posted an OPS above .700. Yikes. Javy led them in HR with just 17

    I feel like I said all this earlier in the thread. I didn't come to this site 20 years ago to read!

    So reading into it more, it's fine. Barnhart was actually not a total black hole at the plate before 2022. And he has hit righties better his whole career and Gomes has hit lefties better his whole career so it makes sense as a platoon. And he gets rave reviews for his play behind the dish. It's not sexy but it will do as long as they add at least a Conforto.
  19. Post Count Padder
    Sharma says we're signing Tucker Barnhart. Gross but not unexpected. Hoping Amaya is funny recovered and gets a shot in 2024 or even later this season.
  20. Post Count Padder
    Reds get Wil Myers. Didn't seem like we were connected to him but that's an option off the list.
  21. Post Count Padder
    Incredible that the Mets will be paying Carlos Correa and Bobby Bonilla after their careers end.
  22. Post Count Padder
    Now the lower tier guys are coming off the board. Wouldn't be shocked if we get a couple deals done in the next 48 hours. Conforto kinda feels like a must to get some power into the lineup. I like Mancini too. If we only get one, I kinda like a trade that lines up like Madrigal and a prospect like Bigge or Hodge for Luzardo and Joey Wendle. Adds more depth and both fit nicely though idk that Luzardo is a must with all the other depth we now have in the rotation.
  23. Post Count Padder
    I've wanted Jansen all off-season. Hedges just signed with the Pirates so that's another option off the board. I think what you have here is reasonable though with Wisdom I think it's an either/or with Belt and Turner. Also I feel like Keegan is too important the roster next year and beyond but maybe I'm over valuing him. Just nice to have finally developed an impact arm with him and Steele.
  24. Post Count Padder
    Finally. That's a surprisingly reasonable deal, especially considering the other contracts this off-season. I was expecting like 9 years 250 mil. I'll take this. Now get a catcher and another reliever and another starter and you have something.
