He has two team options: $12.5M in 2023 and $14M in 2024.

In other word, TA isn’t going anywhere.

I too had to Google it because it didn't seem right lol

Buster Olney googled it, saw "team options" and was like "nah, Chicago isn't allowed to have a franchise shortstop."

Again, a Wild Card birth, especially with expanded playoffs, does not equal the Twins challenging for the division title.  The Sox supposedly dumpster diving doesn’t suddenly make the division up for grabs when Cleve & Minny are both a mess.  I know you love to argue minute points but let’s be real here. 

I never said the division was up for grabs. I said there’s reason for the Twins and Guardians to try to get better even if they can’t win the division.

Buster Olney thinking he is right that Tim Anderson will be a free agent next year.

Very, and he heard about it in the comments to his tweet.

Buster Olney is to accurate reporting as Jerry is to marquee free agents

And I never claimed those teams had no reason to try to improve or that a WC berth is out of the realm of possibility, but here you are still responding to my posts as if I had. 

Phillies in talks with Brad Hand. If they sign him, this will be the third relieve they bring in with closing experience.

If they wont be the trade partner...this is great. Let them sign ALL the relievers and kill the market. Sox and Phils get everyone so Kimbrel is only good option left

 

 

This could be an underrated pull with an MiLB deal structure.

 

That basically leaves, what, the Dodgers as a Kimbrel suitor?

Padres? Cardinals? Maybe Giants?

3 teams bidding on the same closer could be fun.

I imagine they'd bring Jansen back before a Kimbrel trade. If Jansen signs elsewhere, sign me up.

This isn't a cba negotiation.  No one is setting arbitrary deadlines.  

Harold, what's going on on the RF front?
