    Let's predict who signs the remaining FAs

    MLBTR did a good write up about the top unsigned FAs: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/...ee-agents.html

    Let's see who can predict the final landing spots of the most of them.

    I'm guessing:

    Arrieta - Phillies
    Mous - White Sox
    Lynn - Nationals
    Holland - Cardinals
    Cobb - Brewers
    Lucroy - Nationals
    Walker - Brewers
    CarGo - Orioles
    Jay - Orioles

    I think we end up with Jon Jay or (ideally) CarGo on a 1 year deal.

    Arrieta - Braves
    Moustakas - Braves
    Lynn - Braves
    Holland - Probably the Braves
    Cobb - This one's tough, but I think the Braves
    Lucroy - No doubt the Braves... they've always coveted Lucroy
    Walker - Probably the Marlins... they're just a player or two away
    CarGo - Braves, not even close
    Jay - Expos

    Gonna be a good year, folks. I could be wrong, but I doubt it

    Has the MLB put an end to the "sign and trade" loophole where basically a scenario like the Royals could sign Moose and trade him to an interested team that doesn't want to lose a pick?

    I want CarGo on a show me deal.

    Sign him to a show me deal like 2/15 or something like that. If he sucks he's another Markakis but if he succeeds his upside is a very good player.

    Might be even more fun to predict how the grievance transpires.

    Lucroy is reason 1, 2, and 3 for not signing/adding big name players until your window is open. That would have been a useless trade.

    I’m with you on this. Braves have plenty of money to spend, and their budget will only increase as they continue to exceed attendance expectations in the new park.

    Such a deal for CarGo is going to be 1 year and may not even be an MLB contract.

    I'd rather give those PAs to Tucker.
