I actually just don’t think that latter trade is at all likely. That is around $60 mill of salary with control issues on one and talent another. That would greatly reduce talent back.

I understood why people thought the Mets would trade Nimmo, but don’t get the rationale behind these trades. With the infusion of new cash I’m sure their plan is to keep Thor with degrom and keep adding, not trading for prospects.

Can’t wait to listen to this. Love everyone of the BA crew.

Love signing long term deals to players you’ll want to upgrade from by year 2.

It’s interesting to see the big franchises that land top players often take the tact of letting it be publicly known they value the players worth instead of undercutting it and constantly trying to make sure everyone knows they don’t want to spend too much.

And a lot of Ozuna production came in a single year he hasn’t come close to replicating offensively, and his early career WAR was fueled by defense he hasn’t come close to replicating. With Castellanos you can be much more sure to expect a wRC+ above 110. With Ozuna? He isn’t unlikely to hit it, but he’s also not unlikely to have just an average year offensively. He really isn’t that different than when we signed Melky.

I don’t think that’s totally true, the morning show before and after Hahn was heavily pushing it too (though not that they were about to sign him)

It wouldn’t.

I wouldn’t pay for Ozuna, but if I did not sure why I’d give him much more than AJ pollock made last offseason.

There are not 5 teams looking to sign Marcel Ozuna.

Do you think we heard Wheeler was choosing the Phillies only after he did a physical and physically signed?

But in neither of those cases did the player ever indicate they had accepted their offer. This is indicating he would have verbally told them he’s signing. I mean phones exist, it seems unlikely this would require a delay.

He is quite perfectly my least favorite FA signing they could have made. Perhaps the most white Sox use of resources I could imagine. A caliber of player available every offseason, with a QO attached, that they are signing as a long term player. It’s a 2015 special.

Guys this is a very specific report indicating he is leaving to the us to sign a contract. It’s either true or false.

I trust a firm denial like that

Umm rarely say this but good job bruce, that was super helpful

Thank god. But yeah, if an agreement was reached you’d say that.

Yes, he will be better than a historically bad RF.

Also...if they reached an agreement then that is the report who cares if it is signed.

One, it’s been two seconds. two, I have no idea who frank castillo is

Please, please be false.

And it’s over. Very boring.

Just asked about grandmas success with Ryu, dodger by Hahn. edit: grandal obviously

Honestly...I haven’t heard a thing interesting. They will manage Kopechs load, Rodon is looking like post ASB

Also ... people liked wheeler as a long term piece.
