Get out of here with that logic!

Keuchel I believe.

If he ends up settling for a one year deal to try again next off-season post-pandemic (hopefully) with no QO attached, we should be all over it.

Sign Hendriks and another reliever and you don't have to worry about not having Crochet in the bullpen (until the stretch run).

Amazing that most deals that looks bad and "unmovable" is in fact, movable.

Hilarious...

Agreed 100%.

I could see it being one of those big moves where more than 4/5 guys is dealt. Similar to the Clevinger deal.

That's not how Jerry operates unfortunately. Won't sign anyone to a long-term deal that he likely won't even be around to pay (the back end anyway).

Definitely possible but unlikely. From the sound of it, he can agree to a deal with the Sox for the 2022 period and spend this year playing/practicing at one of their facilities.

Are you even allowed to go over?

Yeah they still need depth. With a shortened major league season and no minor league season, these guys took a step back on their workload.

They could do this by spending money. But because they don't/won't, instead we have a 5-page thread on Joe Musgrove.

Christmas Vacation

No. Just no. Trading Kopech and Vaughn for Howard is stupid.

No

It sounds like if he wants to sign for a 7 figure bonus, he will have to wait.

If the NL teams knew if there was going to have a DH or not, this guy would easily get a multi-year deal.

One of the many options in free agency.

A guy even.

Do you have a brand recommendation? I'm interested.

Agreed about the backup part but I think myself and others wouldn't mind him in a DH/rotating IF role where he could give Moncada at rest at 3B. I think its likely he gets a starting position in the field somewhere though.

Exactly what I've been thinking.

Yeah I like our chances if he waits.

The "Cuban Ohtani" nickname makes me cringe every time I see it.
