Cruz would be a re-enactment of signing Edwin Encarnacion.

Kim is not gonna DH. At worst he moves to 2B and Cronenworth becomes a utility player.

Correa was right to wait a year. He's probably gonna get 11 years and $350 million.

11 year contracts for everyone!

Benintendi will get more years.

lmao you've got your work cutout for you if Gallo does sign here.

The Sox will complete their collection of truly polarizing players: Moncada, Grandal, Gallo

So the whole lineup basically has to rebound for us to be good...got it.

Is this a parody of Mike Clevinger's Twitter account?

I called Clevinger before it was announced, does that mean I'm a trustworthy source now?

I hope the Foodies aren't in his DMs

He was still pretty good on the Pirates and I don't think their defense was any better than ours.

Hendriks has to have value with how much relievers are getting paid. Liam is probably twice the reliever Jansen is.

I'd much rather sign Quintana than Clevinger.

I'd rather have Bogearts if he and Swanson end up costing about the same.

Cubs are gonna sign a bunch of 2 WAR players and the Chicago media just eats it up. Swanson was a 6 WAR player last year, but moving forward, he's probably more of a 3-4 WAR player.

Goddamn

The Cubs have seemingly been good at getting a lot of value out of their cheap bullpen signings. Robertson, Martin, and Givens were all guys they flipped after signing to cheap contracts. But yeah, they need a SS, a 1B, at least 1 more starter in addition to Stroman, Steele, Hendricks, and Sampson/Wesneski. They'd need a lot of stuff to go right for them though. As is, they're probably a 72 win team.

They'd need Bellinger to get back to MVP form if they want a shot at the playoffs.

Interested to see how much he got.

I knew there was something odd with those special balls Judge got during his run for 62 homers.

I am. My team is full of 99s and I got Mickey Mantle, Ken Griffey Jr, and Mike Trout in my OF.

That site has a lot of dumb edge cases you can exploit to make "fair" trades even though there's no way they can occur IRL. I feel like their model does not value superstar players correctly. Baseball is not just a game of surplus value. An elite 5-7 WAR player getting paid $35 million a year should not be considered neutral surplus value. 7 WAR players don't grow on trees. You also can't just spread his money to 7 different 1 WAR players and consider it the same since roster spots also have value. I feel like the tool is a good place to gauge general value for mid and low market players, but they have no way of actually calculating the true value of a guy like Machado, Harper, Tatis, etc.

Not to mention that without Judge, the Yankees are probably a wild card team last year at best.
