WestEddy Posted Thursday at 07:36 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:36 PM I wonder where this puts guys like Giolito.

Reyno45 Posted Saturday at 12:56 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:56 AM MLB needs to do something to get their offseason going, some sort of incentive to signing free agents in the 1st week of FA, with lesser incentives as every week goes by and install a deadline for the players to sign by. I remember tuning into the winter meetings being so excited but has just been a big letdown for awhile now. MLB needs to do something to get the fans tuned in for the offseason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would likely require a battle in the CBA, and the players would probably not allow it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its existence was proposed in 1950 by the Dutch astronomer Jan Oort, in whose honor the idea was later named. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk some sort of negotiating/signing window every couple weeks with a break in between. Incentives for both players/teams for getting a signing done earlier. I don’t have a good answer for it but something to make the off-season a little bit more exciting to keep that excitement going into ST. I’m all for the players and team officials enjoying the time away from the game, the mental aspect of a long season doesn’t get talked about enough, but make the holidays a down time then so fans know what to expect because everyone knows what fans want is what matters most 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Okamoto will be a better hitter immediately but he's already 30 so his upside won't be that high. This might be the only real contract he gets in the Majors. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be the only real contract he gets in the Majors. He also doesn't hit the ball particularly hard. It'll be interesting to see how his bat (and power) translates while also trying to play secondary positions. I originally was more on him than Mune, but I honestly think his career will end up being closer to Yoshida's.
