Ehh. Manny provides two-way value. Bryce has a little more offensive upside and more marketability, but he's a bad OF at 26. He's a DH or 1B within a few years. Manny is definitely going to be the more valuable player over the course of the contract.

Yes and yes. Greinke's AAV was ~$34.5M.

Is there any real evidence on this Harper to Philly today stuff? Or just more BS conjecture?

I'd definitely rather roll the dice on Banuelos than give the spot to Covey again, who I am pretty much certain is a reliever. I actually think Covey could be pretty good as a reliever, he just struggles so much on multiple times through the lineup.

What makes you think the Yankees are involved in this 3 way?

It is really just a couple people freaking out, that frankly freak out alot.

Yah I still think its pretty high, but that doesn't mean this won't drag out until ST. Unless Padres decide to offer 8/$300M+, I just don't see anyone else paying more.

Yes.

At this point, I doubt Joc is traded until Realmuto is moved. If Verdugo goes to the Marlins, Dodgers are probably keeping Joc.

I wouldn't hate a Marwin signing depending on the price. He could be used all around the diamond, and would be useful player - with MM or Harper, or not. At this point, I assume he'll be signed for considerably less than most people thought in November. Also no QO attached.

Friedman confirmed after the trade that Bailey was in fact released as a condition of waiving his no trade clause.

lolz

Always thought he was awful to be honest. His name butchering was embarrassing.

Still looks like he’s 17.

Well, they've asked for it.

I've been firmly in the Hahn is playing this correctly, let's be patient camp all offseason. Better to get him for $220-250M than $300M+. But at this point, fuck it - give the man his 10 years and $300 million, and let's move on with our fucking lives.

I see it more like: OF Left to Right: Verdugo/Kike, Pollock, Bellinger IF Left to Right: Turner, Seager, Taylor, Muncy They definitely have the ability to trade one of Verdugo or Pederson.

Ruiz and Verdugo both would be a home run for the Marlins.

For real tho. San Deigo is fucking awesome city. Easily one of my favs in the US. But living in CA and paying those taxes would be awful.

I think the $5M buy-out on 2023 in addition to the $55M he is owed 2019-2022. I imagine the Dodgers pick that option up for the incremental $5M unless Pollock is literally unable to play baseball any longer.

Padres always made a ton of sense to me.

2 years, $10M for Wilson.

He was a reliever for the majority of the 2nd half in AAA last season. I think he's probably a reliever for good with the Sox if they retain him. Also....seemed like this rumor had some major steam for today....seems like its probably not close, like Rosenthal said.

Wow, wat?

You and your gf live on complete opposite ends of the country? Must be tough.
