McCann has been good the past two years but a four year deal for a catcher like him seems wild, I dunno. Bodes well for Willy's market I suppose. I assume he wouldn't go until Realmuto is off the market but he should be next.
-
Royals signing Carlos Santana to a two year deal was not something I expected.
-
Just trying to figure some horsefeathers out. Would we be able to live with trades like this/are these realistic? Contreras to the Phillies for Kingery, Damon Jones and Ranger Suarez Bryant to Nats for Robles, Tim Cate, Mason Denaburg
-
Lol what
-
I don't want to trade Wily but it makes sense given the raises he'll get soon and #PTR. Can pair Caratini with someone like Jason Castro and some other depth. Amaya will be ready in a couple years. If he goes to Toronto in a deal, get Jansen or McGuire as part of the return. I'm mostly just trying to make sense of this horsefeathers offseason.

horsefeathers the Ricketts, part 9200349878. This sucks so much. -
David Dahl and Ryne Stanek would be awesome gets but damn if I'm not super pissed about Schwarbs. horsefeathers the Ricketts.
-
Uhhhhhhhh He's been pretty good for them the past few years. I guess this doesn't bode well about our ability to trade Schwarber then?
-
I've gradually started rooting for/following the Phillies since I moved here years ago and I've thought about them as a trade partner various times the past couple years. It makes a lot of sense. I've liked Damon Jones awhile (homer ish, I met him in Reading and he signed a ball for me) and he has intriguing stuff as a lefty and is a little buried on their depth chart. Ranger suarez is another who has interesting stuff but nowhere to really go there.
-
Renato Nunez a surprising non tender by the Orioles considering he isn't that expensive and as a power bat who isn't useless defensively could prob have been a trade candidate at the very least.
-
The deadline to protect players is tonight. As always, AZ Phil has the goods https://www.thecubreporter.com/2020-rule-5-draft/0 Abbott and Morel are good calls on being added. I'd also like to see Duncan Robinson, Keegan Thompson, Dakota Mekkes added. I def think we're losing an upper level reliever or two.
-
Maybe I'm being naive but I don't think they NT Schwarbs and they hang onto KB at least for now given his stock is so low. I'm expecting them to trade Contreras for prospects and salary relief though and let Caratini take over until Amaya is ready in two years. I could see them spinning Kimbrel's second half positively and getting a team to take on his contract for a nothing prospect but considering brad hand was let go, idk how realistic that is. Might just be stuck with him.

An old friend on the move That trade looks even better for us. I was bummed we dealt Vosler at the time but Wick is our best reliever.

I'd rather have Brad Hand if we're going high leverage reliever. At least Hand isn't a known piece of horsefeathers. -
Contreras, Rizzo, Hoerner, Javy, Heyward, Mills and Professor are all Gold Glove finalists
-
Let's get horsefeathering wild. What do you do? Sign JBJ and LeMahieu. Add to the pen, some good relievers on the market. I'm honestly fine with the rotation including Yu, Hendricks, Alzolay and Mills but really need a good No. 3 starter. Revamp the bench. Give Nico a little more time in the minors. Or maybe there won't be a next season and it's all a mess.
-
Garbage year. Let's pretend it didn't happen.
-
Damn, didn't realize it was COVID related. That sucks. Always seemed like a good dude. And that's one of my favorite baseball cards of ever. I remember reading his book in high school, was entertaining stuff.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jose Martinez optioned (again) and contract selected of 2012 Cardinals first rounder Patrick Wisdom, who we signed to a minors deal awhile back.
-
Wick to the IL, Chafin activated Cool to get Chafin into the mix but otherwise brutal [tweet] [/tweet]

The Blue Jays DFAd Billy McKinney. Bring him home (ish)
-
That's a bummer. More than I thought we'd give up. At the same time, he's super far from the majors and anything can happen. And as others have said, Jose Martinez still has control and can be used as DH/solid bench bat for the next two seasons (not that he's shown that so far in limited time with us). I guess you can hope he can rebound and be a good (and relatively cheap) part of the offense. If they DFA him in the offseason then horsefeathers it all.
