Because Baseball Reference can't tell them he's good.

Low level latin players seem to be in vogue.

He didn't have surgery.

I'm trying to keep anything that happened last year out of the equation.

Now you're talkin!

I may have worded that wrong. They have to give up a prospect for Gray.

Who would you rather have: Wainwright at 1yr/$6M or Jon Gray + a prospect at 1yr/$6M?

Oh come now the Owners wouldn't do anything that underhanded to delay the start of the season. Manfred said they want to start the season on time!

I think the most interesting part of this letter is the signature of David Ortega. What's with the triangles, man?

Arizona politicians receive a mysterious influx of donations from a group of MLB owners. Story at 10:00.

My god man think about the prospect rankings!!! THE PROSPECT RANKINGS!!!!!!!!!

Hang on. He went unclaimed at $10M but signs as a free agent for $10.5M?? The really smart people running baseball today sure are stupid.

If you want to make a trade in today's MLB you better have a lot of good low level latin players.

Sonny doesn't fit in the budget. Jon does.

Yes sir.

Giolito, Lynn, Keuchel, J Gray, Cease

It's not that and they're not looking to give him away which is why a trade hasn't happened.

They've been shopping Madrigal to everyone. Sounds like they're hoping someone circles back to them.

Yep

Richards seems to have priced himself out for the Sox.

I agree with that. Now they have to find a starter who will fit in their price range and that group has suddenly shrunk.

This trade never made any sense from the Brewers side.
