Heyman:

The White Sox are also in the starter market after saving $22M on Luis Robert Jr.

 

Mets, Yankees counting themselves out in Tarik Skubal talks

Yes please. Bullpen help too.

Old friend Jayson Nix alert

What an absolute power move by Getz.

The 3-way battle between him, Beckham and Nix ends with him as their boss.

Where’s Brent Lillibridge when you need him?

Well, this seems to have slipped by every's radar.

 

 

This one seems like it could a lowkey sneaky good move.

He looked fine in 2024. Don't know what the hell happened in the minors last year.

Guy had a .203 BABIP against in 2024. A righty reliever who doesn't miss bats and doesn't generate ground balls usually doesn't have a lot of staying power. He's basically been awful but for that period of good luck.

Still a fine free add obviously.

Don't really love the fit since I'd rather see Acuna and Baldwin get majority of the time in CF.

Don't worry they can't afford him until they clear Benintendi's albatross $17M contract.

I've gotten on the Baldwin/Acuña/Pereira-Kelenic train. Just play the young guys, see who sticks.

Sure. You could also rotate through Antonacci out there, maybe Tanner Murray, Ramos if he somehow doesn't get taken in waivers.  I mean, the biggest reason to sign like a Conforto or a Bader is to disincentivize the Sox from rushing Braden, but you could always just say, "Lock me in this room and no matter how much I scream, do not let me promote Braden Montgomery!"

The only problem with the rotation is if the whole group crashes and burns, and B. Monty has a hot 3 weeks. But that's where I am right now. Pereira, Acuña, and pray they don't moon ya!

Bader has the potential to be the next Benintendi contract at a smaller scale.

Yeah I want nothing to do with Bader, with that being said he’ll probably be the next signing…

I would like Getz to reach out to the Angels to see how much Adell would cost

While the names on the top might change, the friends and family plan never does.

Do you think younger people call him Mister Bader?
