Well it was a fun thought exercise

Sox should call on Inciarte tbh

I mean non-tender and resign

I think I'd rather just bring Yolmer back tbh

'Yeah the White Sox won the 2022 World Series, but quite frankly the process was garbage'

This bit is the absolute worst thing in the world, but is fascinating on a psychological level.

If you're only interested in signing top of the top pitchers, you're going to be throwing Ross Detwilers and Odrisamer Despaignes for a loooooooooooooong time.

Just decreased his odds of not getting non tendered

There wouldn't be a point of the exclusive negotiation window if the player can just choose to bypass it.

I'm a fan, one out specialists suck. I'd prefer two, but I'm fine with three.

Are players in exclusive negotiations not considered official free agents?

Yeah, the problem isn't that they're selling off the slot, it's that they haven't already used it. After you failed to spend it it, why not ship it off? We already know, and have discussed plenty, that they botched this signing period, this is just rehashing that.

My understanding is that this was money that wasn't spent for this past J2, so what in world is the appeal for the Rangers acquiring this money?

Has to be giving up less in IFA money than his buyout would be,right? I suppose that makes some sense.

Still don't see a fit with the Yankees.

Also will have Moncada and Giolito likely seeing significant raises.

People thinking player value dramatically changes based on one or two playoff performances is one of my bigger pet peeves.

Soto is winning the MVP stop it

Ricky renteria took these teams over huh

Very well aware of that

Yankees don't need him, Twins don't need him, Rays and A's would never sign him, Cleveland probably wouldn't either, Boston want's to cut payroll, Astros payroll is about to get silly, Angels probably don't want to take ABs from Ohtani. Everybody else dgaf about who takes the DH ABs

That's fine, he's still a guy whose never taken an AB above A Ball. There's no reason to make yourself that inflexible.

Carving out guaranteed AB's for Vaughn in any year at this point sounds like a fantastic way to burned.

There's no functional difference between trying to compete and 'finishing' a roster. Rosters are never finished, if your trying to win baseball games add the best players you can where you need them most. Clocks been ticking for a while now

I think it's in everyone's best interest to drop the obsession with Yermin Mercedes
