It all seems pretty simple if you step back. Jerry wants to wait until he knows what the CBA is until spending significant money. Only reason Graveman was signed was to give them peace of mind for when they discuss Kimbrel over the lockout.

None of the closers have signed yet. Not worried about Kimbrel being an albatross

Graveman said today he was told Hendriks is the closer

Could you imagine if Conforto and Castellanos sign elsewhere in next 24 hours and then lockout occurs?

It’s going to be a long 3 months or so on here

Forgot where I saw it, but supposedly Twins are pushing hard for Rodon. That should go over well on here.

I bet they get Stroman

There seems to be some speculation by fake insiders that Correa might get a massive deal from the Angels. Also, sounds like Baez won’t be going to the Mets and the Tigers or Red Sox are more likely.

Just feels there’s a significant number of teams that are content waiting until lockout is over. The Padres are usually the most active team and haven’t done anything. Same for Yankees, Dodgers, etc.

Would have been way worse if other teams were super active today. It really was only Seager and Ray that signed today.

Are they pushing for a decision in next 24 hours

I think Javy decides soon

USC bought him a 5 or 6 million dollar house already

USC and Stanford falling off a cliff has made Kelly look like a much better coach.

Very few trades taking place now and no closers have signed

Knebel likely being brought in to set-up. Also opens up the Dodgers.

Yeah Campbell is lurking I’m sure. Freeman goes to Cincy if Fickell gets it.

Hope it doesn’t get too windy in Louisiana

Tex

Besides Cardinals

I will say this....a handful of times the Sox have announced their own transaction before anyone else reported it. Would probably allow them another 24 hours before I’d rule out anything being done.

Brewers should sign him to DH

Would love it honestly. Would be incredible defensively and more importantly, piss off every Cubs fan I know. People don’t realize how much every young kid in Chicago loves Javy. Even kids that are Sox fans love him (besides mine)

Please no to Iglesias, Pineda and Bundt. Also Wood signed with Giants.

Conforto makes a ton of sense for Phillies, as the NL East is loaded with RHP
