caulfield12 Posted December 6 Author Share Posted December 6 (edited) We'll see how accurate the $22 million figure is... Five years? Think most teams would much prefer four, but five sounds about right as an over pay with that final year written off. Predictions from mlbtraderumors 15. Zac Gallen, SP: four years, $80MM Tim: Diamondbacks / Anthony: Angels / Darragh: Giants / Steve: Giants Edited December 6 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 My bold predictions for the offseason are as follows: CF Robert, OF Benintendi, & $7M cash the to Phillies for OF Crawford and OF Castellanos (would be released immediately) Sign 1B/OF O’Hearn to 2/$27M deal Sign OF Bleday a 1/$2M deal Sign RP Hunter Harvey to 1/$8M Sign SP like Adrian Houser for 1/$4M Draft best pitcher available (starts season in pen) Lineup: Meidroth, 2B Teel, CA* O’Hearn, 1B* Montgomery, SS* Vargas, 3B Quero, DH# Bakdwin, LF# Bleday, RF* Crawford, CF* Bench: IF: Mead OF: Pereira UT: Sosa BC: Lee Rotation: Smith Davis Burke Key* Houser/FA Bullpen: CL: Harvey SU: Taylor SU: Leasure MR: Gonzalez MR: Gilbert* MR: Rule 5 Guy LR: Vasil LR: Murphy* 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the Robert trade. It looks to me like Robert and $7M for Crawford (which I think is a bit much for the Phils), THEN they take on two years of Benintendi for Castellanos. Do you see Beni's slight upside compared to Castellanos as balancing out Crawford's better value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 4 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: Hill is on a two way contract and can be sent to AAA for $450K instead of his major league salary. Are you sure about that? He's out of options. They'd need to DFA him to send him to Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 2 hours ago, WestEddy said: Hill is out of options, as is Pereira. If they want to send Hill to the minors, they have to DFA him. They agreed to a specific two way contract with him, so I’m assuming he would accept an assignment in AAA if DFAed. Honestly not too worried about him getting claimed.

Maybe you're right, but if Will Robertson can get claimed twice in the same offseason, Hill may have value to someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you see Beni's slight upside compared to Castellanos as balancing out Crawford's better value? Money might need to be adjusted some, but Castellanos is a $20M sunk cost. As such, the theoretical trade is: Robert at 1/$10M + Benintendi at 2/$15M for Crawford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the worst contracts in mlb. I think $66 mil for a guy who’s considered difficult. I bet they want to trade him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 I want JJ Bleday for RF. Not sure what Robert would fetch in a trade. Relievers I would want are Jakob Junis and Gregory Soto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 6 Author Share Posted December 6 Jays probably headed for a $300 million payroll... "It has already been a busy offseason for the Blue Jays, who have signed Ponce and Dylan Cease to multi-year contracts, and Shane Bieber is also staying in the rotation after declining to opt out of the final year of his deal. This puts the Jays in line for approximately a $267.9MM payroll and a $282.5MM luxury tax number (projections courtesy of RosterResource), and this is before Toronto addresses its lineup or bullpen needs heading into the 2026 campaign." mlbtraderumors.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
