Feels weird to have a 1 year deal with over half deferred

That’s crazy money.  Not surprised the Cubs didn’t sign him.

4.2 5.2 2.8

Averaged 4.1 fWAR for three seasons before turning 30 last August.

Last year clearly a down season.

But that would be $28-40 million fair market value one offseason ago.

 

The QO attached just killed his market, and his last two seasons compared to prime of 2022-23.

With losing a draft choice. Pass.

Will be interesting to see where Griffin Canning signs and for how much.  Coming off of a busted Achilles.  Curious what he will end up signing for.

Castellanos to  SD

Boras just trying to save face after he turned down the QO for the same amount.

Dodgers extending Max Muncy, possibly through 2028.

Looks like they're not 100% in on Mune Murakami as of yet at 3B.

LAD "stuck" with Freeman/Ohtani at DH...eventually Betts.

SD adding Marquez (no terms yet announced) possibly through 2027:

leaves Michael King, Nick Pivetta, and Joe Musgrove (TJS return) in the top three spots, with some combination of Márquez, Canning (when healthy, returning from Achilles'), Randy Vásquez, and JP Sears taking the last two spots.

Seems Mason Miller back to closer.

Castellanos replaces O'Hearn.

Still haven't really replaced R.Suarez, Arraez and Cease...the latter two the biggest losses.

They might want to look up James Kruk's TED talk about how to keep pitchers healthy.

ReyLo was never on the Red Sox. But still, being teammates on 5 different teams would be crazy.

Sources: The Pirates are designating Jack Suwinski for assignment.

Suwinski had an Eloy-like career trajectory.

Hard to get anywhere when promising players do that.
