He’s gotta be the backup IF at this point right? He could steal at bats away easily.

I like both of these moves. Haven’t said that much this offseason.

Got another lefty who hit good last year.

I think he’ll be parked in AAA until he goes to Japan or some s%*#.

I’ve been thinking they will. No idea obviously but I’ve felt a 2 year deal at the start of ST so they can 60-day IL him right away.

Yeah this is guy is done here.

So him or Deloach as starter in RF? Man it sucks Benintendi is on the roster haha

A platoon with Pillar in RF. Wouldn’t mind Phillips still making it over Sheets.

They’re not going to spend much more, if any.

Right. If it’s not Colas, which seems like it will 100% not be, it’s one of these guys.

Was going to say, most teams have had an underwhelming offseason, Dodgers and Braves. Am I missing any other obvious ones?

Just like every other signing for the most part

“That was then. This is now.”

Yeah that's kind of what I meant. Not saying go out and sign stars (well, because they don't).

Well, yeah. That's more what I meant. Better 1-2 year deal type guys.

As soon as they were locked into not picking higher than 10th, they should have committed to spending.

Or Eloy...

Right, when your franchise record free agent signing is an average at best defensive fielder, singles hitter, it's probably too big of a gamble for said franchise.

Well hopefully this was the kick in the nuts that the Yankees needed to make a deal. Just out of curiosity, if they dealt for Cease, is their luxury tax number so high that they are they still forfeiting all that anyway?

Maybe closes off the possibility for now, but maybe they will need another SP in the summer. Probably still wouldn't want to pay the price then though.

Diamondbacks, Reds, Pirates are teams that I feel like should be more involved. I guess the latter two can wait to add until the deadline to see how things are looking though.

I feel a shorter, high AAV deal for Snell incoming.

Have any idea how many teams are still in talks?

Right. Just put the best defense behind him and let him pitch himself onto a contender.

That's true. Part of me thinks one of the Spring Training invites is the RF, unfortunately. Though, with how this Cease thing is turning out, I wouldn't mind just putting the best defense possible behind Cease every start, even if that means Brett Phillips is the starting RF once every 5 days. He's definitely still the 4th OF but value at least put the best D possible behind your best trade chip.
