I would have liked a deal like this. Not going to lie.

Why? Plenty of crap teams can guarantee a guy like this a spot in the rotation. It's not really that disappointing the Sox missed out on him.

He seems like a guy who can get better with consistent at bats, which he will not get here in a backup role.

He got hit with an 80 suspension in August of 2018 that he still hasn't fully served (didn't get any credit towards serving it last season since he wasn't with a team).

I don't disagree but they apparently might go with that for a couple weeks.

Thats true. To start the year, Collins could DH against righties.

Seems like a beatable offer.

I picked the Mets for my 6 division winner parlay I decided to do last week. If he's going anywhere, I'm ok with the Mets haha

Dammit.

I agree. The baseball offseason is already so boring. This is kind of a nice change of pace.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Hes definitely doing better than a minor league deal.

Who the fuck is that.

Rick Renteria working for the Reds now?

They lost someone else too that they non-tendered who had a nice year. Edit: Matt Wisler

He is if you're getting a controllable front of the rotation type arm in a trade for Vaughn to go along with Ozuna.

Vaughn would actually have an additional year since they will wait to get the extra year of control.

Since the pandemic is still going on, it would have been cool to have another 2 spots at least just in case.

This. This change happened before the COVID rule changes.

For him to retire with that much salary left, there has to be some sort of buyout. Edit: nevermind. He is still getting paid his salary and it is counting against luxury tax.

Who is realistically left? Mets and Dodgers (always a threat if he is willing to go short term)?

I have him penciled in as going to Tampa. Opened up 2 spots declining Morton's option and trading Snell. Can give him an MLB deal and guarantee a rotation spot day 1.

What? Personally, before we start paying Giolito top of the rotation free agent type money, I'd rather wait another year to see how he does over another full season.

I'd be ok expanding to 6 playoff teams in each league.
