Too bad Marwin can't play CF. Pipe dream, but Machado + Marwin + Joc would be amazing. Still a SP short tho. Moncada 2B Marwin LF Machado 3B Abreu 1B Alonso DH Eloy RF Joc CF Castillo C Anderson SS My oh my.

They'll finish in 4th place in their division. I wouldn't be too jealous.

Probably thinking of ump, Liaz Diaz.

If Bryce signs before MM (he won't), MM is pretty much out of options.

If this guy was originally in the Sox system and they gave him away for nothing, you'd have b****ed and moaned. At least be consistent.

Thanks for sharing this. I kind of figured this was the case.

Most super elite defensive infielders don't fall off rapidly.

Is his report that vegas has taken down the Bryce to ____ prop bets even accurate?

I know thats where it started, but just curious if anyone more notable has actually backed that report up, or if that is what people are actually running with.

Is the rumor that vegas took down the prop bets of "Harper to _____" actually true? Should be easy to confirm, I would think.

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.
