striker

McCann and Kelly is my bet. I’d love to get Guillorme from them.

Kelly had a great FIP and xFIP. High bb rate but offset with high k rate. Not sure why all the hate

Ha, forgot about that.

It will be interesting to see if NYY, LAD, and ATL don't land Swanson/Correa if they pivot to TA. They all have the pieces to convince Hahn to trade him. All three could use Hendriks as well.

Supply and demand are both factors. Rodon needs to go before teams will pivot to Giolito. Correa and Swanson need to go before teams pivot to TA. Whether or not a team is in the market for any of those players, the results of their signing shift the demand, which Hahn would look to maximize. Teams also need to be under a little more pressure to move and there is no pressure on 12/9.

Not sure Vaughn was the greatest option either. 6' 1B has a limited ceiling. SP, CF, SS are where your value is.

Savant loves Kepler. Red all over. Could really benefit from the shift rule.

I want Kelenic and/or Bleeday. Both LH, both can play all three OF positions, both slug, both walk.

Encouraging for those that want Mahle.

The Cubs selloff last year really drove it.

Smyly would be an interesting pickup. Has experience also pitching out of the pen.

FA - I'd go Cueto. We just need 5 good innings. Pirates aren't going to trade Quintana. They just signed him this offseason. Anyone hear anything about Lambert or Stiever?

If we all agree we need another starter, You can’t argue against plan A if you don’t have a plan B. Trades hurt, but you have to push your chips up at some point.

NSC is back online

I saw your tweet yesterday and all I could think of is there was no way I thought Hosmer would get $144m. Boras always proves me wrong.
