I’m just looking for above average core players for the next 2-3 years. Castellanos and Wheeler are my favorites with JDM not an option. Go get them, Jason Castro, Encarnacion and a few relievers (to go with Abreu)

Get used to it, there’s really nothing that fits the first two categories mentioned

It was such a success last time we did that with Kotsay

Tilson, duh

Castellanos, Abreu and Keuchel is the mlbtr prediction

If Abreu stays at 1B, why doesn’t it make sense for a year or two?

Watched Castellanos play defense for the Cubs and he wasn’t good, but not nearly as bad as I hoped he would be.

I think we can find someone who can hit more than a few homers with the juiced ball. We’re already going to give a ton of at bats to Madrigal anyways.

I think Cubs like him enough to give him 4 years

Oh god, hell no. It’s really time to move on from him.

He’s my pick for player most likely to sign with Sox and forget how to play baseball

To be optimistic for a second, if Boston does trade him, they likely won’t trade him to the Yankees which eliminates a possible suitor

Very low...Wheeler is going to also have half of baseball going after him. It’s why Martinez, Encarnacion and Puig are very likely targets.

Sure, but you could be contending against 8-10 teams to sign him. JDM has very few suitors if he was available.

No one said they’d give up a ton for him. Getting him for 23 mil for one year wouldn’t be the worst thing if it costs you average prospects.

A trade is still very possible

Encarnacion and Calhoun better not be the offensive upgrades

Ugh, so now the question is will Boston trade him

Calhoun officially a FA...only want him if they get JDM

Oh I did

No thanks, he would get slaughtered in the AL

Passan predicted 8/280 for Cole to Angels and 5/200 for Rendon to Dodgers

MadBum is, IMO

Seems obvious Boston wants him to opt-out

Yep and maybe fits better than JDM in terms of blocking Vaughn
