Pretty sure there aren't any.

In a season like this, I don't really care.

Yeah can we get an updated title?

What do you expect them to do exactly? And they probably won't announce a Covey replacement until late afternoon tomorrow (return of Tim Anderson perhaps with 12 pitchers being on the roster?).

So the deadline is in a little over 48 hours from now? How boring.

I would think the Mets.

You can even open the year with both Wacha and Lopez and give them time and determine who should move to the pen (or the minors if Lopez struggles) when Kopech is ready.

If Quintana's option is declined (I don't think that it will personally), I would be open to bringing him back.

Starting Pitchers Brett Anderson (32) Chris Archer (31) — $9MM club option with a $1.75MM buyout Jake Arrieta (34) — can opt out of remaining one year and $20MM unless Phillies exercise a two-year, $40MM option Homer Bailey (34) Clay Buchholz (35) Madison Bumgarner (30) Trevor Cahill (32) Andrew Cashner (33) — $10MM vesting/player option Jhoulys Chacin (32) Yu Darvish (33) — can opt out of remaining four years and $81MM Gerrit Cole (29) Marco Estrada (36) Kyle Gibson (32) Gio Gonzalez (34) Cole Hamels (36) Matt Harvey (31) Jeremy Hellickson (33) Felix Hernandez (34) Rich Hill (40) Derek Holland (33) — $6.5MM club option with $500K buyout Corey Kluber (34) — $13.5MM club option with a $1MM buyout Wade LeBlanc (35) — $5MM club option with a $450K buyout Wade Miley (33) Shelby Miller (29) Matt Moore (31) Ivan Nova (33) Jake Odorizzi (30) Martin Perez (29) — $7MM club option with a $500K buyout Michael Pineda (30) Drew Pomeranz (31) Rick Porcello (31) Jose Quintana (31) — $11.5MM club option with a $1MM buyout Clayton Richard (36) Tanner Roark (33) Tyson Ross (33) Hyun-Jin Ryu (33) Ervin Santana (37) Drew Smyly (29) Stephen Strasburg (31) — can opt out of remaining four years and $100MM Julio Teheran (29) — $12MM club option with a $1MM buyout Jason Vargas (37) — $8MM club option with a $2MM buyout Edinson Volquez (36) Michael Wacha (28) Adam Wainwright (38) Zack Wheeler (30) Alex Wood (29) Try to get one of the top tier guys and then make a Rays type move (Morton signing) and overpay a bit for a mid to back-end type of guy on a one year or two year deal.

They were bound to regress. They were almost a .500 team with basically one starting pitcher and a couple relievers . Not exactly a recipe for success.

Welp

Yep. There should still be growing pains with the young guys.

As someone going to the game today, YES!

Yeah the Rays make a lot of great moves, but non-tendering Cron and also DFAing Dickerson (for that matter) were not good ones (though they did work out a trade and moved him). Granted, those were about cutting costs and finding similar/better production for cheap. But back to Abreu, I think the most I'd offer is 1/$8 mill to DH most of the time. He can take it or leave it.

I'm just saying they have options if it becomes an issue where they have too many. Honestly, in the above scenario, you would just have Kopech open in the minors probably.

I'm going to change my guess from doing nothing. If anything, they move Jay and Nova (along with cash) for players to be named later or some struggling but interesting A-ballers or something.

Could always flip Gonzales in the off-season if you end up adding (for example) Cole. Having too many isn't a bad problem.

It's always different for guys in their arb years and non-tendered. You never see those guys sign for more than what their about projected to get if they were tendered a contract and he and the team avoid arbitration by agreeing to a salary.

To be fair, it was a Saturday night and people have other shit to do.

Lol they're not all going to want him...and Abreu is basically begging to stay here.

I mean, they could wait til the offseason too. Would probably get him at a lower rate than signing him now.

A 32-year old with a 4.75 era and 2 months of control? Seems comparable.

Wood has been a guy who can't stay on the mound for a full season. Dude seems to always be hurt. He literally hasn't thrown a pitch this season. Edit: for the first part, I think I mixed him up with someone else. But the second part is true.

I'd be fine taking Greinke on as a salary dump meaning we wouldn't have to give up big pieces of the furure, but Stroman only has a year of control left.

For how much control he has left, last season's success, and how he's been this year, they're probably better off waiting a year.
