My point is 200K can be exchanged for better experiences than what are being offered. Not complicated stuff.

If the kid was from Pittsburgh I could understand taking the experiences. Since he's from LA, what the Pirates are offering sounds more like a hassle than anything else.

The Guardians actually dumped a decent reliever to make room for Sewald. ”Guardians designated RHP Pedro Avila for assignment. Avila gets the boot from Cleveland’s 40-man roster to free up a spot for veteran high-leverage relief arm Paul Sewald. The 28-year-old righty was a revelation last year for the Guardians, posting a strong 3.25 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 73/30 K/BB ratio across 74 2/3 innings (50 appearances). He’s a virtual lock to be claimed off waivers in the coming days.”

Will likely work out a trade first. MLBtraderumors questioned why no offensive upgrade and that Sewald's FB below was down significantly last season. Also, old friend Reese McGuire signed with the Cubs. Edited January 23, 20251 yr by caulfield12

January 23, 20251 yr The Yankees and Padres appear to be discussing a trade of Marcus Stoman for Arraez. But the Padres are asking for cash thrown in, which makes the trade unlikely. The Padres are also listening on trade proposals for closer Robert Suarez. Nothing yet about Cease/King.

Harold will be happy at least. SD should have signed Kepler. 5/$50 or 3/$42.5 million, that's crazy and Preller had a sense he wasn't going to be in their current price range...not unlike when JR told Buehrle to explore Blue Jays' offer.

Those idiots at MLBN put Acuna at #7 RFer due to 2022/24. Pretty sure I would bet him #1 again before Profit clearing a 700 ops for the Braces for the second year in a row. He was so bad in 2023 he almost got the Rodon 2021 $3 million contract offer. Great bargain for one season on a team in the process of slashing almost $100 million in payroll.
