    I'd trade Stiever and think real hard about Cease.  Lynn makes them a pretty good staff.  They'll spend their money on a couple bullpen arms and a DH while they play the service time game with Vaughn.

    My prediction is we sign Bauer and Joc and bring back Colome. And crazy probably won’t/can’t happen prediction we sign both Colas and Cespedes.

Biggest signing:  Stroman NOT BIG ENOUGH

2021 closer:  Heuer MAYBE

Bauer 2021 team:  Cardinals PROBABLY
 

 

First transaction:  DFA Rodon and Mazara

Crazy trade scenario:  Big trade for a SP that no one is talking about.  My guess, Marco Gonzalez

Biggest signing:  Stroman

2021 closer:  Colome

Bauer 2021 team:  Rangers

Extra Credit:  Cubs sell off Bryant and Schwarber this winter, don't add any significant free agents.

We sign cruz and his production will fall off a cliff

I don’t know, but stop signing guys that have been suspended for PEDs while in the union.

I like Benintendi. Calhoun would be interesting to trade for. Vaughn and Abreu should be DH/1B pretty much all season. 

My prediction is we sign Bauer and Joc and bring back Colome. And crazy probably won’t/can’t happen prediction we sign both Colas and Cespedes.

First transaction:  Springer

Crazy trade scenario:  We trade for DeGrom

Biggest signing: Bauer

2021 closer: Colome

Bauer 2021 team: White Sox

First transaction(s): Let go Mazara, decline Encarnacion

Crazy trade scenario: Acquire Lance Lynn for Collins and a lower level arm

Biggest signing: Stroman

2021 closer:  Colome

Bauer 2021 team: Cubs or Rays

Extra credit: Dumpster dive for free agent veterans Quintana and Puig

You can see that one coming.  FA power bats have been an absolute nightmare.

This would make them pretty close to being the favorites to win the WS.

It could all be so simple...

Am i the only one who doesnt want springer?

Pretty close? DeGrom, Bauer, Springer makes you THE World Series favorite, hands down!

What's the love affair with joc?

The added benefit is he won't be in Minnesota helping them win haha. But for sure he would come here and and slash .250/320/810

He mashes righties and is a lefty power bat RF.

Nope.  I don't want anything to do with him.  And actually think the money can be better spent than in RF.  I think Engel/Leury will be fine in RF, especially with Vaughn in the lineup. 

Spend the money on pitching.

This really has me intrigued. What would it take to get DeGrom?

I would think at least Vaughn, Dunning, Cease and Stiever.

It can happen to if we went bold. Not sure if we should do it, but it could be done. But you are losing Kopech and Cease for sure. I'd make the Mets eat some of the salary though, maybe take 12 million off that 32 and we take Fam off their hands. Still could sign Bauer and Joc/Springer after unloading EE, Mazara, Rodon, etc.

They don't need Vaughn unless the DH stays for good. It would take Kopech and Cease. But if you did it, have them pay down DeGroms salary by 12 million and use savings to sign Bauer as well. 

Degrom

Bauer

Gio

DK

Who cares

It would suck to have those guys come back and bite us, but unlike the other trades we make, we are getting a HOFer in return. Tatis trade sucks because we got hot garbage back.

That’s just my prediction. I think we sign him and he platoons with Engel. I also think the ifa we sign being Cespedes or Colas will be the long term answer. I don’t love or hate Joc but he fits the need.

Lets go get Kris Bryant.

Yeah and has hit no higher than .240 in a season and ks like crazy. Haven't we had enough of those lately?

Yeah, I kind of agree. He'd be an upgrade, but I would prefer a contact hitter for balance.
