mlb.com FA fits White Sox: Clay Holmes, RHP Any free-agent starter not named Skubal fits in this category for the White Sox, who have returned to relevance following their 2026 turnaround. But Chicago is aiming for more than relevance as it looks to strengthen an area that proved to be a weakness during the postseason. The White Sox are looking for one or two solid arms, and Holmes was a pitcher who intrigued them prior to last summer’s Trade Deadline. Mize to CLE, Soroka to KC and King to DET feels about right

Good decision not opening up an MVP PCA thread! Surely not easy to hold back on the impulse.

Don't you mean, Lutnik? Besides, have you ever thought that if China's desperately buying Nvidia H200 chips through a back door channel, that they'll soon enough be more reliant upon and vulnerable to the US? Huawei still is 2-3 years behind. And that troll bot's too busy infecting the antiquated FAA infrastructure at the moment...unfortunately, it's the doing of their own subcontracted vendors that have gobbled up $36 billion since 2003 to achieve a pretty laughable 16-18% efficiency across the legacy networks.

Well I guess they have to follow the pitcher's wishes like with Sale and Crochet. The problem comes when Hagen Smith's agent points out starter salaries vs. high leverage reliever outcomes, too. It's also not like Taylor hasn't suffered through significant health issues already. He also has a fairly max effort delivery...without as much leg drive as other elite velo guys.

They make that Bonemer trade and they're all the way back to the 22nd-25th farm system in mlb again... Meawhile DET CLE MIN all Top 10

Sunglasses...

and that could be underestimating by 5-10% based on the Bauers expectations being in the low $50s

Rasmussen will cost about the same as Detmers due to limited control... Carlson/Schultz/??? etc. OR Bonemer

Will’s prediction: Padres (four years, $104 million) Nick’s prediction: Padres (four years, $100 million)

Too many big market teams are after him and Padres quite simply have to get him Skubal or Peralta for their fanbase Mets have to make a big splash Blue Jays can't afford to go backwards

SI2027 Top 40 MLB Free Agents Big Board: Player Rankings, S...The 2027 free agency class is notable for a few reasons, and not necessarily ones that reflect well on the group as a whole. There’s the big name at the top—twoanyone interested in #19-27 for Sox??? that's the tier they will be shopping in below Rogers Holmes Taira remember Sunny Gray will be at 37 and rapidly aging considering there might not even be an Opening Day

then Clay Holmes back to Cubs in $40-50 million range and Taira's predictions Will’s prediction: Giants (three years, $36 million) Nick’s prediction: White Sox (three years, $51 million)

Then you basically have Skubal King Peralta Rogers Taira...not a long list most wouldn't put Mahle on it despite post trade deadline results Rogers SI projection Will’s prediction: White Sox (four years, $84 million) Nick’s prediction: Nationals (four years, $92 million)

Multiple executives expected Bauers to accept the $23.15 million qualifying offer from the Brewers -- more than nine times what he made in 2026 -- but Boston swooped in and locked him up with the first long-term deal of his career. Because the deal went for more than $50 million and the Brewers are revenue-sharing recipients, they will receive a compensatory draft pick between the end of the first round and competitive balance round A. espn.com

The defensive metrics completely fell apart after the first 2-3 months of that particular experiment.

Sure but Skubal has a much better secondary offering. And the biggest problem will be sustaining his outings through innings 4/5/6...durability will be a significant concern based on the month of Sept and playoff results.

Chiefs moving across state lines to Wyandotte County KS.

Even Taira's likely getting $50-75 million depending on contract length... More likely guys like May and Woodruff on speculative contracts...or Korean based former big leaguers/drafted.

buy high high high lol big no no so much for Romy/T.Casas https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/from-journeyman-to-58m-jake-bauers-heads-to-boston-in-smart-move-for-red-sox-214351919.html https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/red-sox-bet-jake-bauers-breakout-season-was-no-fluke-hot-stove-takes Ty France just went up in value...

otoh guys like Walker Buehler nowhere close to the pitcher he was pre injury...which was Top Ten in the majors May also hasn't been anywhere close his velo also down 2-3 mph from peak

Volpe/Lombard seem to have it covered... Too many other high K propensity youngsters like Jones and Dominguez.
