    Cetainly not a sexy name but if Chicago's going to non-tender Avisail Garcia, there's a budget name that could be added to the OF list.

    Not a huge upgrade by any stretch, but Steamer's not terribly down on him in 2019 (.325 wOBA, 106 wRC+) - 1 year $8 million (projected) as a stopgap until Riley/Pache arrive if you're considering extending Donaldson for another couple years if he's healthy would leave planty of money to address the pen.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    What they're projected to make is irrelevant once they are non-tendered. They are a FA. And no one is giving Garcia 8 million.

    Well I wasn't tellin YOU anything as I wasn't even replying to one of your dumb posts. I've used plenty of statistics for Haniger in previous posts. Go away:

    I get that - the projected number still helps as a bit of a guide though. If their former team didn't think they were worth keeping at that number, it'll be pretty tough for them to expect an offer at that level from anyone else - if any of the other teams thought they were worth that, they'd have traded for him.

    Just something funny....Shelby Miller is available. The Braves sign him and he wins the Cy Young.

    Yangervis Solarte non-tendered by the Blue Jays. He is certainly a guy that we should take a look at for our final bench spot.

    Robbie Grossman also non-tendered. Could be a solid candidate for our 4th outfield spot. Fantastic OBP type of guy who had an .882 OPS against lefties last season. If we sign a right handed outfielder he'd be a good target.

    Lots of intriguing players being non-tendered today. I don't think we'll have much trouble filling out our offensive depth effectively.

    A lot of decent bench options hitting the market today.

    $2.25M for Venters seems like a lot...

    If i'm not mistaken, I believe he was projected at around $1.5m....

    Venters contract is not guaranteed...if he does not make the opening day roster, he doesn't get the money

    I'd guess Duvall is non-tendered, i could see it going either way with Viz. Near 5 mil is alot though.

    For Daniel Johnson, the Nats 7th rated prospect. He's a 50FV.

    I would imagine if we non tender Viz that we will be getting a Britton/Robertson/etc.

    Passan said Cano deal being pushed to Monday and the holdup is how much money is sent to the Mets. Passan said mid 20 range, oh boy.
