Is the H.Harvey market that robust?

Ryan Noda available again lol.

Don't jump the gun. Could still end up as mid to late March waiver claims. At least Clevinger might finally be done sponging off the Sox.

We'll see how accurate the $22 million figure is... Five years? Think most teams would much prefer four, but five sounds about right as an over pay with that final year written off. Predictions from mlbtraderumors 15. Zac Gallen, SP: four years, $80MM Tim: Diamondbacks / Anthony: Angels / Darragh: Giants / Steve: Giants

Unless they go Benintendi Pereira/Hill Baldwin in the OF and Sosa DH.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/47201350/mlb-winter-meetings-2025-offseason-free-agency-trade-intel-rumors-updates-buster-olney-jeff-passan Battle between Phillies and everyone else over Schwarber is the biggest story to watch as Tucker remains on the backburner. Olney: Cedric Mullins' choice to sign for a one-year, $7 million, with the Tampa Bay Rays could be a warning sign for this free agent class. Mullins was not a perfect free agent by any measure, after his struggles with the Mets, but the rapidity with which he agreed to a deal could reflect the general feeling that this market could play out like a game of musical chairs -- if you've got offers in hand, it'd be best to move fast and grab a spot (and money). Jorge Polanco could be among those who sign sooner rather than later -- he's coveted by the Mariners and some other teams. Harrison Bader set himself up well with a strong performance in Philadelphia. Olney: It makes sense for teams that have trade candidates under team control into 2027 to weigh offers now because they might struggle to get proper value for those players next July, given the labor uncertainty after the season. That means players such as Mackenzie Gore of the Nationals -- and Paul Toboni, Washington's president of baseball operations, said in a "Baseball Tonight" podcast interview Wednesday that he has talked with Gore about hearing his name in trade rumors -- and Stephen Kwan of the Guardians. Ketel Marte, E.Cabrera/Alcantara, B.Lowe, B.Donovan other big names on the early trade market. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/11/2025-26-top-50-mlb-free-agents-with-predictions.html&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiH8bOFwqmRAxXAOkQIHb-ZBDUQFnoECAkQAg&usg=AOvVaw3afcNg9nzLp1Y3r1c9a_YV

Matt Campbell to Penn State. Not quite at his peak value, but happy to see him go from an Iowa perspective. Let's see if he can adapt to recruiting on the biggest stage in an area outside of his comfort zone. Definitely has the personality/charisma/leadership boxes checked off. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/sources-penn-state-hires-iowa-state-head-coach-matt-campbell-173934274.html

2019-20 was the last really exciting offseason...unfortunately, they ended up with Keuchel instead of a better/younger pitcher. Also, Encarnacion turned into a similar bust, and Grandal pretty much fell apart after 2021.

Tigers To Sign Drew Anderson December 5th, 2025 at 5:40pm CST • By Darragh McDonald The Tigers and right-hander Drew Anderson have agreed to a deal, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. It’s a one-year pact with a club option for 2027. The salary figures haven’t yet been publicly reported. Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports that the Tigers expect the righty to be a starter, as he has been doing in Korea for the past couple of years. The Tigers have a 40-man vacancy and won’t need to make a corresponding move.

Foster Griffin, another pitcher coming back from Asia. Former Royals' #1 pick, will land somewhere between Ponce and Kay on the salary scale. https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/chicago-cubs-trade-free-agent-rumors-ideas/201899/cubs-free-agent-target-foster-griffin

Jayden Reed and Watson add some needed variety to that offense...but Kraft injury has taken out the fulcrum.

Thought we didn't help out divisional rivals? Doesn't say what KC would be willing to give up. Probably Bergert OR Kolek. Knowing their fixation for overhyped utility players, probably India instead. Btw Baty has four more years of control, through 2029. Service Time 2.088 MiLB Options 1 Free Agent 2030 Arb Eligible 2027

Does he now possess the requisite velo for that matter?

Bigger bases and fewer/limited throwovers has led to more action on the base paths as well. WBC in general keeps getting bigger and bigger. Huge increase in NPB players has led to record tv viewership in Japan (that almost eclipses the US at 40% of population) with majority "breakfast time" games.

If Schwarber actually leaves the Phillies AND signs next week...that would be a bold prediction.

Baty had a 3.1 bWAR last year. Mets will keep him as their starter at 3B unless they sign Bregman. And Semien at 2B really pushes out Acuna more so than anyone else. Plus, he only has 3-4 more expensive years of control remaining. Would also push out either Vargas OR Chase Meidroth...who some protection systems expect to lead the Sox in fWAR.

Maybe he can beat out Canario...

Mortgage fraud!!! If the Brewers have the season they did, including postseason and increased season ticket sales for 2026 and yet still can't sustain a $136 million payroll...without trading Peralta, just not sure what to say. OFC they have traded both Hader and Devin Williams the last couple of years and survived, losing Adames, etc., but one of those seasons their veteran trades really knocked them back. Some argue that Woodruff taking the QO threw their off season plans off completely, but it's really nuts to trade Peralta and/or Megill, especially with the Cubs and Cards taking steps back.
