I honestly don't even know the answer to this as they haven't had many stars to even have examples.

It's been a while.

He's too pricey for the Cubs.

He did close last year for the Rays until he got traded you mean.

I edited my comment to include the fact the Tribe has done this with Ramirez as well.

And the Indians have offered him extensions previously. If a guy is dead-set on free agency , then there's only so much a team can do. Not to mention, they did lock up Jose Ramirez on a team friendly extension.

To be honest, I don't have one either. Hoping Eloy changes that this year.

I was going to suggest 2B. Just not sure the Cubs want to move on from him yet. It has been said the Cubs are looking for someone capable of playing CF and a backup C. What are the rules on being able to trade someone like Jay who just signed this off-season?

As someone who is also looking to buy a place and dealing with a seller's market and the frustration of losing multiple offers (one of my friends is currently calling me Jerry lol), I feel like we need a separate thread for this lol

And if you have family out here to visit during the summer, it's not like you couldn't go to games while visiting.

He was already leaning towards going to Nashville. I could never base a decision to leave or stay based on a team I liked if the pros of moving out-weighed the cons. It seems like the Sox were a small factor here.

He's good. Just can't stay on the field. It's a real shame they are wasting 2 roster spots on Machado's friends.

I actually think it will be whoever the extra bench player is that will go down (or dl'd). So when Santana comes up, 5 starters and 8 relievers.

Agreed. Where he will eventually extending during the season/resigning after for less than Cole will get (I have Cole pegged for the Yanks).

Never Cubs. Brewers, they're my second team this year.

Hes coming back way before May.

Hoffpauir was actually there before the rebuild. I think you're thinking of Bryan LaHair, the place holder for Rizzo.

I was reading that they missed out on Maldonado for a backup catcher role. Can they even afford Jay right now? Also, isn't there a rule about guys signing MLB deals not being able to be traded until a certain date?

According to you, no one from KC is good. This a minor league deal where he will probably be a backup in Charlotte. Relax.

Should any bonehead decision this front-office makes really surprise us?

I was literally going off of his comments a few weeks back. Didn't know it would be that quick.

Ok so I'm not going crazy. Watching that video and seeing those pics of him in college, it looks to me like he has gotten bigger.

Yep. And Sale's comments about signing an extension with the BoSox seemed optimistic.

This x1000000

I would prefer to play Rondon over Yolmer but yeah, it makes sense to showcase Yolmer. A team with a shot of contending may need a decent 2B mid-season. Also worth mentioning that he only has 2 more years of control left after this year.
