He would be a great addition if the price was as you suggest.

I'm an Engel guy myself. The bench probably will have room for both Engel & Garcia.

Yolmer back with us a 4 million wouldn't surprise me in the least. He is a good backup infielder. Just not worth 6 million.

I don't know if it was intentional but Grandal should serve as an inducement to most potential pitchers all else being equal.

My guess is Madrigal is extended in the last days of ST just like Eloy. Just need to see him have a solid Spring.

The reason he is a good trade chip is he is a good player. I know he might be sent packing but personally I love having a strong catching core...not just Grandal.

I agree.

Imagine getting those two signed before the Winter Meetings. Would free up RH to work on that RF opening.

I think McCann will get more starts than people think. Rotating through catcher/DH and backup is meant to keep all of them fresher. Grandal and McCann both wore down during the long season. During the last month McCann got hit in the nuts in every game it seemed.

I think Collins was very nice.

Brett Gardner might still become available and a pretty good player on a 1 or 2 year deal.

Daniel Palka...Nicky Delmonico...Yolmer Sanchez...Trace Thompson...Leury Garcia...Adam Engel...Zack Collins etc. I think we must have lead the league in likeable players who struggle.

If you are smart ...don't take that bet.

I would be all in on Betts for 5 years. It's the 1 year control that doesn't do it for me.

If you are willing to trade Vaughn...trade him for a sure thing controllable player. A one year rental would be GM malpractice.

Avi keeps looking better and better all the time.

You don't trade a top 25 prospect for a 1 year rental. You just don't.

Good.

Yeah...Dunn and Drakes dad will do that.

I hate dealing with Boras but he will take his client to the highest bidder. That just might be us.

It was only last week that someone said that to me about Grandal.

I hate when some of you talk dangling Madrigal. He is going to be very good.

Lots of us would like Benintendi at a better price than you suggest. You are taking the ribbing because of your take that he is a better hitter than Moncada.

I don't make bets with folks I don't know on the internet...however...feel free to call me out at the end of the year.?

Puig and Tsutsugo in a job sharing wouldn't surprise me.
