They've been shopping Yoshida. They desperately want to move Devers off of 3b. They've also weirdly floated Casas out there as a trade candidate for pitching as well. I also don't understand why they want Arenado so bad. I would rather just give Bregman the 6 years at his age than trading assets for 3 years of aging Arenado -

I'm just actually shocked with how this is playing out.
-
I think the silver lining is they've put together a good enough team that can get us to the TDL in a good spot as currently constructed (With the idea that they are still going to add to the margins with some of the remaining budget, Robertson, bench bat, etc). As much as I want a true TORP now, I can understand waiting until the deadline if the off-season demands are just to elevated for the guys who might be available - Cease/King. At least at the TDL you can get someone you know is healthy, and other, more appealing options might become available.

They're really expecting me to be in mid-season viewing form with the first 4 being 5am, 5am, 9pm, and 9pm. Prediction: A lot of coffee will be drank.

First 6 against Snell - Yamamoto - Burnes - Gallen - Kelly - Pfaaddt/Rodriguez are going to be fun (Or not).

The "fluff" that gets tacked onto these contracts for AAV manipulation makes the Boyd - Flaherty compare seem closer than it actually is. At the end of the day, the contracts are - Flaherty 1/$25m Boyd 2/$29m Flaherty next season is being paid as a top 10ish SP in actual $$$. Boyd is making a backend of the rotation salary. ZiPS DC has Flaherty at 2.3 fWAR and Boyd at 1.7 fWAR (In 40 less IP). Dollar for dollar spent, it's hard not to see why Boyd is likely to be the better ROI.

Cross Stanek off the list

Playing 2b > Altuve to LF

Bregman was always an extreme long shot at best. Boras using us as leverage to squeeze another year out of his contract plus the Cubs using him as leverage to get this Pressly deal across. Bregman back to the Astros seems likely at this point.
-
With the Astros needing $$$ and roster space for Bregman, a non 40 man lotto ticket always seemed like the end result to me. Never understood why the Astros would take a Thompson or Canario back if that meant they had to DFA someone else to make room for Bregman.

Yea surfing the Astro's forums, the general consensus I see is they are all sad his time is coming to an end and seemed well liked.
-
Various reports that it's a last ditch effort to open a roster spot and free some cash for Bregman.
-
1/$14m left on his contract. Anxious to see the return. Looks like velo and K% was down last year, but still had a solid year. Hopefully he has another good year left in the tank.
-
Yea MLBTR had him at 2/$16m and Crowd Source 1/$5m. Mets must not be concerned about his hip injury lingering
-
Maybe the RP market will finally get to rolling.
-
My heart stopped for a second when I saw that pop up on my feed. Killing me Jesse

Looks like Matthew has an article and thread here -

Yep, with Ferris checking in at 52 -

Looks like Baseball Prospectus dropped their new top 101. Shaw - 25 Mo - 73 Caissie - 77 Horton - 85 Old friends Zhyir Hope checking in at #8 overall and Cam Smith #20.
