That makes sense. Have to upgrade over Burr/Ruiz.

Have any info you can share?

I also don’t think he could get back anything that can help us at the MLB level this year (well, something but not your 2B or RF).

Obviously we have big holes at 2B and RF but for the love of God, fill the one that actually has good options in free agency.

Unless you’re signing Story to play 2B, no one.

This this this

Yeah you’d have to get really creative to shed Cano’s salary. Basically attach a couple top prospects to get out from under it.

Yeah I like that deal for Texas. All glove light hitting .670 OPS bat going to the Twins? Sure. And I feel like Garver homered off us all the time lol

I meant “how does this shed salary” for the Mets, who are looking to shed salary as well.

How does that help them shed salary lol

Piñeda anyone?

Nelson Cruz closing in on deal with someone. (not letting me share link on my phone for some reason but saw on MLBTR)

Nah, they'll trade him and clear his full salary. They won't get anything good back but it will happen.

Houser or Lauer probably.

The rumors before the lockout were that they wanted to ship the extra parts (think Jeff McNeil, JD Davis, Dom Smith) for pitching. I still think the Mets line up well with the Brewers in a deal considering they could use some offense.

Yeah, I would be more upset hearing this after all the good free agents have signed with teams and we end up with platoon type players at 2B and RF and a cheap 6th starter.

You're right. This team doesn't have any holes besides the glaring one at 2B, the giant one in RF, another reliever, and possibly another SP. Other than that, yeah no holes.

I've also fallen into this group. Totally ok with getting another SP.

Wow. Really hard hitting information here. We've learned so much from this Tweet. Thank you Steve.

Yeah they wouldn't have even picked up the option if they had to eat that much.

Yeah and probably better than paying Gausman the similar AAV over 5 years. Good job Gigantes.

I mean, we did hear during the first part of the off-season about how they misread the market on someone they wanted. Pretty good chance they misread the market on a lot of guys who have signed and possibly still out there.

Oh I agree. I'm just saying that would be stupid.

Bad way to run a team: doing people solids.

I want Conforto but am expecting the Pederson/Engel platoon to finally happen after all these years lol
