It doesn't matter what raBBit thinks they do lol this question is always hilarious to me since it's not like he's directly involved. Edit: he thought they would sign Wheeler and even told people that it doesn't mean they will.

Love that I work on a computer all day. Getting paid to read rumors all day is the way to go.

Deal Madrigal as a main piece for pitcher with at least 3 years of control, then sign Rendon?

Vaughn is probably a good start but probably need a better second piece than the rest of that package. I would think it that was an offer, it would get beaten. That is, if he is even available.

Yankees reportedly have made 7 year, $245 mill offer to Cole.

Agreed.

Kinda scary. Could see Robert and Madrigal being off the table. Maybe a package built around Vaughn for a SP with 3+ years of control? Who fits the bill?

Yeah you'd def have to go after Ryu and add that back end SP spot still.

Seems like the kinda of guy that should get a starting gig on a rebuilding team.

Yeah its usually not a big deal for me but we have due dates on the 10th and 20th of every month at my current job. If I don't get anything done this weekend, its going to be a long couple days for me.

Makes sense. All GMs in one place seems like the ideal time to come and meet.

Busiest days of the month for me at work are Monday and Tuesday. Gotta get out ahead and maybe work a full day tomorrow lol

If we're picking between Ozuna and Castellanos and are going to have poor D in RF, I prefer Castellanos.

Would have filled their 2nd SP, swing man role but thats a bit much on the salary.

But what are his K numbers?

If it was happening, he wouldn't say anything.

Doesn't appear to be true. Thank god.

Yeah he looked really really slow in the OF. Looked like he could have gotten to balls that dropped right in front of him. Granted, it seems like some good teams do punt defense a bit for a better offense (Avi in CF for Rays in playoffs, Mark Canha also in CF for A's).

Agreed

Could see this being the case.

He can but I'm only trading Lopez as part of a deal for a longer term piece somewhere else. Not 1 year of a guy 100% testing the open market.

Lopez can still get better. We're not trading him for 1 year of Betts for fuck sake. Also 0% chance Sox could sign him during their exclusive negotiating window. Dude is deadest on testing the market.

If Betts is dismissing extension talks with an organization he has spent his entire professional career with, he isn't going to suddenly be open to discussing with a newly acquired team/after 1 year with said team. He is 100% going to free agency.

Exactly. Makes no sense unless it is something similar to that suggested Dunning, Basabe, Sheets offer AT MAX. But that would get beaten by some team so that's a moot point.

What do they have on the roster that is comparable and expendable as Renfroe? And a top prospect to go with him?
