Look’s like Ohtani’s was slightly higher. However, he also only played there through his age 22 season. Murakami has played there through his age 25.

Was his K-rate that high in Japan? The keyword. He didn’t say hitter in general.

Yeah, you don’t sign a possibly team friendly extension when you hire Scott Boras as your agent.

Who said give up on? He just wouldn’t crack OD roster.

I guess to add long term pieces and open up a spot for one of your top young players. Plus, there were rumblings he wasn’t that great in the clubhouse. Bregman also won’t cost a draft pick.

I could see the Mariners still be in and try him at 3B for as long as they want to try him. Then he can end up in a 1B/DH mix with Naylor eventually. That team still needs more hitting.

I would be excited if they sign Murakami, but I’m not going to hold my breath.

He is younger.

It depends on when they were posted. I think Murakami is first.

Any chance this guy signs for a lot less than was projected? Might be a good opportunity to get involved in.

The possibility exists that he falls flat on his face in Spring Training and the Phillies want to make a Sprint Training deal

It’s Boob so anything can happen

Could use another lefty in rotation. Do we gamble on guys who sucked here and didn’t stints oversea for a second time this offseason? I think I’d prefer someone a little more stable but I guess if you’re paying what you paid Kay.

? The offseason is still going on

How much excess value though in a trade?

They can still use another OF if they don’t want to start Castellanos.

For Luis Robert, Crawford would be a good get

Yeah it’s not like you get infinite challenges (well, I guess you do if you’re right every time but still)

The default reaction to most of his posts

Where does Thome project to be drafted?

They’re not signing Bellinger.

Yeah, so 1/$10-11M for like a Single-A arm would be a steal.

No

So Rays can’t move Fairbanks 1 year/$11M option (say they can even kick in the $1M buyout to a team) for anything from any team but he’s going to get a big deal? I’m confused.

The #1 pick wasn’t really a fix. We had the best odds at almost 30% lol this isn’t like the Guardians having a 2% chance at #1 pick 2 years ago and landing it.
