Manaea should cost considerably less than Montas. Montas probably costs a top 100 prospect, something we don't have.

In the case of Grandal, setting the market probably avoided us spending that money on someone like Moustakas. IIRC, the Reds were after Grandal too and pivoted to Moustakas after we signed Grandal.

Montas is better than Manaea.

The problem with this is that Semien got a 7 year contract.

They'll keep him before buying him out.

Wow...they really didn't want to keep Freeman. This deal goes until Olson is 35. Freeman wanting that 6th year would have put him at 37 at the end of his deal.

Way too low. I think he's gonna get 100+ million easily.

At this point it's probably Joc/Rosario or nothing.

You might get your wish considering McCutchen just signed with Milwaukee. Maybe some of the mid and low tier OF FAs will start signing.

It always was. The guy has very little surplus value cause he's getting paid $16 million. The reliever market was also pretty loaded this off-season.

I don't see how he could. Right now he's part of the right handed platoon at DH.

Hicks is back this year right?

I might log out and delete my account if the Guardians somehow out-spend us for a free agent.

I don't take Miami all that seriously considering Jeter left cause they didn't want to pony up for Castellanos.

Nobody yet. They have Cavan Biggio to play 2B.

Philly and Colorado seem like the main teams that pop up on socials.

The weird thing is that his statcast numbers still look good, about the same as when he was a good hitter in LA. It's not like he's 34 either, he's only 29 (about to be 30). I'm not sure why he's been so much worse the last 2 seasons. His defense also isn't very good since I think he put on some weight in 2020.

He was just ahead of his time.

I've been expecting it this whole time.

Blue Jays looking like they have a shot at Freddie Freeman. I'm gonna guess it'll be between them and the Dodgers. Does this mean Vlad Jr. would have to go back to 3B?

Wait when did we get Madrigal back?
