Are they cutting payroll to put together a big offer for Sasaki? Gray fits the Anthopoulos' pattern to some extent, but like Hudson2 said, the...

Agree and I've always seen that as somewhat of a problem with him. I think there are times when he and the deep stats staff zero in on a guy because...

Doable, but the scouting department can't make big mistakes if a team goes that route. Prospect failure rate remains fairly high, so a team needs to...

Up here in Minnesota, nothing would surprise me what the Twins might do (or not do). They have playoff success in 2023 and the fan base is really...

First player in history to go from the diamond directly into the nursing home. I don't know how well he's going to hit in his late-50s.

Cousins will break your collective hearts. He'll rack up some big-time stats, but he just lacks some qualities that top-tier QBs possess.

Correct. If Adames lives in California for 183 days, he's taxed as a California resident. I think that's why a lot of players establish residency...

I don't think Soto would agree to deferred money seeing he's already close to retirement age.

That does seem like a Anthopoulos move. $3.7 MM for 2025 with a team option for $7 MM ($1 MM buyout) in 2026. Reasonable option to replace Jimenez...

I think they should make the guy that was bumped by the Golden AB should have to hit in that situation. It's a spectacularly stupid idea.

Surprised he got what he got in terms of a contract, but I thought he was a good buy-low candidate. Drew Smyly is still available!
