November 4, 20169 yr Trade: Tigers trade Cameron Maybin to the Angels for Victor Alcantara (8th best prospect in Angels terrible system)
November 4, 20169 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 07:49 PM) Trade: Tigers trade Cameron Maybin to the Angels for Victor Alcantara (8th best prospect in Angels terrible system) Doesn't appear to be about the prospect they received but more of the 9 mill they save not picking up his option or the 1 mill buyout.
November 7, 20169 yr Seems like Qualifying Offers for: Bautista, Encarnacion, Hellickson, Desmond, Fowler, Turner, Jansen, Cespedes, and Neil Walker. Wieters not getting one is interesting.

Wieters not getting one is interesting. I really thought Fowler had an agreement to not be offered that. He is going to go through the same thing as last off season. Maybe this is just going to be an annual thing with him.

Maybe this is just going to be an annual thing with him. Keith Law has him as the #2 overall free agent. He had a .391 OBP. I think he goes off the board pretty early at the Winter Meetings. 4/70
November 7, 20169 yr According to the Tribune, the Cubs dynasty won't be subject to the pitfalls other potential dynasties have fallen victim. Also, like Trump with Obamacare, the Cubs will replace Fowler, with something better. Something terrific.

Nowhere near the same as last off-season where he was the 4th/5th best OF option available, likely less than that position player wise.

Am I crazy to think that any team with interest in EE should also have similar interest in Abreu?
November 8, 20169 yr Author QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 02:57 PM) Am I crazy to think that any team with interest in EE should also have similar interest in Abreu? Well, he would be WAY cheaper, even with the spectre of arbitration hanging over him.
November 8, 20169 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 03:52 PM) Well, he would be WAY cheaper, even with the spectre of arbitration hanging over him. Exactly. Abreu on 3 years and a pretty cheap deal and only giving up 2-3 good prospects seems better overall than signing Encarnacion to a 4-5 year deal, giving up $100-125 mill to a 34 year old (Abreu also has age on his side for the most part) DH/1B, and losing a prospect (draft pick).

The other side is that you are also giving up on a lot of production as well.
