iWiN4PreP Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 So that leaves Bauer, Ozuna, Cruz as the last big dogs of free agency And Didi/Semien/J-Turner/LaStella/Andrelton as the next tier https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/free-agent-tracker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also to catch a MLB pitching staff. Grandal is a hitter who puts on C equipment to make his bat play in a lineup. Realmuto is a C first and a hitter second. Out of all of the potential steals to be had this offseason, 5 years only and $23M AAV only for Realmuto is easily going to be the biggest steal of the offseason. Of course SoxTalk will worship at the feet of Melky Cabrera the catcher, but we'll see how these 2 compare over the lives of their deals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourWhatHurts Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) The Marlins have exciting young pitching. Yes they played over their heads but the pitching is real. The hardest thing to add in FA or trade for at a value is quality young pitching. The Marlins already have that.

To be fair to my Cubs, Miami has five starters with an ERA+ over 124. Also, if it weren't a shortened season the Cubs would've finished 5 games out of the wildcard. I can only imagine what wouldve happened if the Cubs had to face a Chapman-less A's offense though 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I think it is not a bad deal. Grandal was cheaper but he also was 1.5 years older when he signed which of course is priced in. Both are really excellent catcher. Realmuto's profile is maybe a little sexier to fans because it is more BA and less walks but overall they are pretty comparable.
