2018 Offseason And Targets

[BeanieAntics]

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

He's a Pipeline 50 FV. Which means he's probably a 45 FV lol

The Mariners are only expected to chip in something in the mid-$20MM range to cover Cano’s salary, per Passan (via Twitter). Seattle will still be absorbing the two significant contracts, of course, but it seems the New York org will be paying for about half of Cano’s contract (while also presumptively paying Diaz in arbitration).

Meanwhile, there’s still work to be done on the deal, which Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweets will not be concluded this evening.

This went from being horrific for Seattle, to horrific for New York, back to being horrific for Seattle, now its finally starting to settle in as horrific for New York... I think.

Per DoB: Braves have tendered all of their players contracts including Duvall and Viz

LOL - Still plenty of time to switch back

Kinda surprising.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Kinda surprising.

The contracts on non-guaranteed deals. So if we cut them late in spring training, we just pay a percentage of the overall contract....I wonder if we feel we might get someone better or could trade either of them.

I'm not surprised at all. Maybe mildly surprised that they tendered Duvall, but the non-tender Vizcaino talk was crazy in my opinion.

Duvall for 3 mil isnt horrible, he was very awful but maybe he gets it together next year depending what outfielder we get. And i agree with Viz, 5 mil for a proven RP is a good deal.

Yeah I was 50/50 on them tendering Duvall, but there are reasons for optimism with him

[Braves1976]

AA is a smart GM, no reason to drop either one at this point.

[ixiXSolidXixi]

But why keeping Sam Freeman?

Freeman's actually not THAT bad if he isnt used everyday.

[Braves1976]

They still might cut one of Viz, Freeman or Duvall depending on what they settle for and how ST works out. Viz is most unlikely unless his shoulder issues come back, then he might become likely fast. But hopefully he can stay healthy.

[Enscheff]

I was told Freeman would be dumped. Weird.

[elmore80]

I'd trade our 2 catchers for their 2

[TheRunningAgent]

I actually like Duvall and think he has value. He had a bad streak in Atlanta but has been fairly decent and an excellent defender.

All arbitration players can be cut during ST with the team only paying a small portion of the deal.

Yes DOB also covered that in his reporting this, and that's another reason why this wasn't surprising.

He was unlucky but even with neutral lucj he'd have been awful. His bat is slowing down. He's a huge risk of total collapse and has very little chance of being useful, especially since he's pretty much a LF only.
