I'd love to get Bauer. Bauer, Folty, Gausman, Newk, Julio/Touki/Etc looks pretty stout.
Wow. RIP.
Former LA Angels infielder Luis Valbuena was killed in a car accident with former Pirates 2B Jose Castillo.

I tend to think that AA will make a couple of deals that are not on anybody’s radar. Something out of the blue. The guys that are being talked about have multiple teams engaged and that causes the price to go up. He’s smarter than that. So, any guesses?
It's fast but still fits the traditional rebuild mold. Mass selloff, wait for youngsters to mature, become competitive when they do. Ours matured quick making it a shorter rebuild.
The accelerated rebuilds, at least to me, is a team with a goal of becoming competitive after one or two years down. It requires you to force the issue at some point. Teams with money can sign FAs and do it. Teams without tend to make dumb trades.
It was. Probably can thank holding on to Freddie Freeman rather than trading him more than any other move for the relatively short time frame. Perhaps that's what the Mariners will get out of Ryan Haniger.
Every team just isn't going to burn it all down and commit to being awful for five years. That seems to be what everyone thinks is the obvious plan for anyone that isn't winning 95 games, but it's not realistic at a lot of places.
Indians open to dealing Yandy Diaz. Would've been a good try at 3B a year or so ago.
