CJ Cron DFA'd.... not every day you see a 30 homer 122 wRC+ guy get designated... but he's a bad first baseman

Somebody will pick Cron up for sure
Could anybody possibly line up better with them in a non 3-team deal than Colorado???
Adding Brendan Rodgers, Colton Welker, and Raimel Tapia suddenly makes the Mutts legitimate contenders in 2020. Adding Tapia allows them to play Conforto and Nimmo on the corners and move Bruce to 1B. Rodgers takes over at 2B immediately. Ride Frazier's contract out this year until Welker's ready to take over for him next season. Extend deGrom and Wheeler, add a C and Closer, and they're in business.
The Rockies trade from their depth to add 3 years of the type of SP they'll never be able to get otherwise. Extend Arenado, and they're in business as well.
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?
Kiley has now tripled down on his MLB player valuation math by making it even more fuzzy so he doesn't appear to be wrong haha.

Kiley McDaniel: So, the math I did here: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/inst...cts-in-…

Kiley McDaniel: and landed on $34 million in prospects for $35-50 million in Paxton
Nowhere in that article did he mention a range of $35M-$50M for Paxton's value. He stated, "Those figures both add up to around $35 million", which is now somehow "$35-50 million for Paxton". The range is a direct result of being challenged on that valuation in the comments of his article, so at least he's willing to absorb information.
Dude needs to just stick to scouting I think.

Will: Paxton seemed like a perfect trade target for the Braves. Do you see them in the market for a Patrick Corbin type of free agent?

Kiley McDaniel: Paxton does fit what they seem to be looking for, sounds like they made a healthy offer. Corbin fits as a player, but for the contract I think it’s unlikely
I would be very interested to see if anyone could dig up more info on what the Braves supposedly offered.
Just say no to Corbin...good lord that's going to be a bad contract.
Bummed we didn’t get Paxton. Wish we knew what we actually offered.
Interesting to see Grandal changed agents today... same agency that Teheran employs
Reds have agreed to contract extension with their closer Iglesias...actually it is not an extension, they just agreed to a new contract for the final 3 years leading up to free agency
will definitely make him a lot more expensive on trade, IF they make him available. My guess is they don't
Get off my lawn!
Mlbtraderumors projects our payroll at $135m giving us roughly $50.6m to spend
Get off my lawn!
Don't think that number is right - as far as Opening Day payroll is concerned - but if it is, there's little reason anybody else should get a chance to sign Grandal. AA should have already talked to his reps and told them "call me when you've heard offers from everybody else he's interested in talking to and we'll talk".

Lol. I just read the MLBtraderumors article and found out that we owe Bruce Sutter 10 MILLION dollars in 2021. I really hope that the organization has had that money tucked away in a mattress somewhere.

Spangenberg dropped by the Padres. He might make a decent budget LHH bench option until Riley is ready...essentially a modest upgrade to the role Flaherty played.
I've been hearing a lot about Edwin Diaz lately. As much as I'm opposed to making a significant deal for a SP, my feelings are even stronger that we should spend significant resources on a reliever. I wouldn't mind a medium sized bullpen upgrade, but Diaz would cost an absolute assload. 4 years of control for a 24 year old closer coming off phenomenal season. A player like that will take a king's ransom, if the trends of the last few years stay true.
I really hope we don't end up blowing the farm on a SP and/or a closer. It just seems like such a bad investment for us.
