Official 2022 Offseason Moves Thread

[thewupk]

MLB Free Agency should always be like this. No reason players should be waiting until January/February to sign deals.

I'd propose a deadline for multi-year deals. Say Dec 1 because why not. And if you aren't signed by that date you can only do a 1 year deal.

I'm not a follower of the NBA, but don't they have a day every offseason where tons of action gets completed? I wish MLB was more like that each year.

There's not a day but in the NBA FA. Basically all the big names are signed in the first week. NFL is the same way.

That is artificial. Deals are completed in June, but cannot be announced until July (moratorium). Compare it to the J2 International signing day. The reason why deals are completed so early (1) max contracts - teams/players can’t have a standoff - and (2) salary cap holds - salary cap space is tied up with the player’s original team until either his rights are renounced or the player signs with a new team, so the process moves quickly.

It’s truly a race against the clock in the NBA to sign players.

PEDs - 80 games
Beat your wife - 20 games

Absolutely absurd, and surprising after MLB's virtue signaling with the ASG.

Ozuna didn't beat his wife though

Good day all around with a flyer on a formerly elite reliever and the good news on Ozuna.

Everyone said today would be crazy and it’s been mildly so, at best.

I mean we had another 300 million contract and a guy signing for 43 per.

I think us finding out about Ozuna was huge. If we can re sign FF then we just have minimal work left to do.

no thank you

[Hudson2]

no thank you

Huh? On which part?

[Heyward]

no thank you

There's 3 years left on Ozuna's deal. It is what it is with him. We have no choice but to play him. But if we can keep Freeman, tender Duvall, our offseason is just about good.

[sturg33]

These crazy deals make me think there won't be any play stoppage. Can't see the owners losing out on any losses of revenue (or fans due to strike) after shelling out this much cash

[Heyward]

I actually agree it's been pretty mild. Everyone said Monday would be insane and there's only been Scherzer, Ray, Seager, Yates, Hudson, and Stallings.

Remember that the #BlueJays won more games this year than the team that won the World Series and already had a dynamic position-player core in place.

They now have Gausman, Berrios, Manoah and Pearson under control thru at least 2026, plus Ryu thru 2023. Dangerous team.

I think they have a very solid rotation.

Jays are the AL East favorite imo

[cajunrevenge]

I dont think a FA signing here or there is bad. But going crazy like the Mets are never works out, maybe the Mets are the first to sign a bunch of guys and win.

Worked out pretty well for the Marlins in the 90's.

[bravesfanMatt]

Jays are the AL East favorite imo

Mets are AL east favorites too.

[Enscheff]

AA should be able to put together a 90+ win roster pretty easily with the resources on hand, just like he always does. Then we just enjoy the show and hope they catch a few hot streaks in October, just like they did last season.

Taking as many shots as possible with a 90 win team is the best chance this organization has at winning championships. It doesn’t really matter how much the Mets spend because the Braves will always have that shot at the title due to never blowing their wad on a single season.
