    I'm not going nearly that in depth but I would really like to add Cobb (3 or 4 years at 15 per?) and Chatwood (2 year, 15-20 total?), in addition to keeping Davis and adding a pen reinforcement like Neshak and/or McGee. I'd also like to keep Rene Rivera and Brian Duensing, if they're open to returning cheaply. Old friend Geovany Soto is available too if Rivera doesn't come back. If we end up moving Almora for a pitcher, how do people feel about Carlos Gomez?

    Uh, yeah so these guesses are a little bizarre: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/11/2017-18-top-50-mlb-free-agents-with-predictions.html

    Also, we need two starters, unless the plan is to let Tseng, Butler and Monty compete for the last spot after signing one of Lynn/Cobb/Chatwood. That doesn't seem ideal.

    Shoot, forgot Ramos got dealt. What's Barraclaugh worth to them?

    I feel like it's just writers spitballing regarding bad teams + controllable starters. Only way I see Phillies moving him is if it's in a deal for Trout. So, no never gonna happen. He had an incredible year and is their ace for the next several years while they get back into the playoffs.

    Levine mentioned Shark as a potential trade again yesterday. Probably more musings than actual smoke but I am curious what they would be asking for in trade. They were awful this year and have a lot of holes in the lineup (they basically have half an outfield) and the pitching staff.
  7. Post Count Padder
    More trade offer ideas! Almora, Zagunis, Clifton for Yelich, Chen, and Ramos, taking on all of Chen's contract. Too little?
  8. Post Count Padder
    Those are fair points. Actually, the Rockies have a bunch of bad contracts. They have Ian Desmond and nowhere to play him. Thoughts?

    I don't get why people think Chesny Young is any good. Plus that mustache.
  10. Post Count Padder
    The Giants have a desperate need for outfield help. How insane is something like Heyward, Happ, Zagunis, Grimm and $$$ for Melancon and Shark? Or what about seeing how much the Red Sox don't want to pay Porcello or Price anymore?

    I miss Jake Fox. Baseball Mogul thought he was a generational hitter.

    This guy with one wrist just got named a finalist for NL Gold Glove, lol.

    I don't know if this makes me a horsefeathers fan or not, but I went to a concert last night because I already had tickets and I also knew I'd be a nervous wreck watching the game. Having spent the night checking Twitter and stress-drinking PBRs, I'm not sure it was any better. This team, man. :flythew:

    I have just assumed we're losing Arrieta. The acquisition of Leonys makes me think he'll be the Jay-type outfielder next year. I really want to bring Davis back on a reasonable deal. I think Avila gets starter money or promised more at bats by someone else. I'd be cool with keeping Rene Rivera though. Definitely have to add another pen piece and at least one starter. I've also wondered if there's even room for La Stella on the roster anymore. He barely played this year and can play on 2B (where Javy, Zobrist, and Happ can all play) and 3B. He's out of options right? Might make sense to see what we could get for him in the offseason, some kind of interesting pen arm to throw into the mix/stash at Iowa? (Since our interesting pen arms are all in the majors or were jettisoned on waivers. RIP Pierce Johnson and Jack Leathersitch)

    We lost Pierce Johnson to the Giants on waivers.
  18. Post Count Padder
    The Jays extended Marco Estrada. Too bad. He's had a down year but I wouldn't have minded him as a backend of the rotation option. Also the Padres extended the MLB leader in hits allowed (and former Cubs great) Clayton Richard.

    Reporting as NSFW content.
  20. Post Count Padder
    He couldn't make it through the game without allowing a hit. Should he be brought back next season?
  21. Post Count Padder
    Joe would've had to of gotten into the meth for Taylor Davis to get a start in any game right now. I'm guessing it's either Avila or Caritini (at worst). So about that [tweet]https://twitter.com/CarrieMuskat/status/908409091445452801[/tweet]
  22. Post Count Padder
    Yup, both deserving. This is Tseng's second one, right?
  23. Post Count Padder
    He really seems like a Hendricks-type pitcher. Not overpowering stuff but great command. I like him as an option for the 5th start spot next year. This move does seem questionable now though. I'd also guess Davis is catching him today?
  24. Post Count Padder
    Cubs announce they have DFA'd Pierce Johnson and added Jen-Ho Tseng to the 40 man roster.
  25. Post Count Padder
    Remember how we won the World Series last year?
