The Angels did fantastic here. The Red Sox did fantastic here. I'm higher on what the Twins did than some on here, because I really value extremely cheap control over 2-3 win players. Getting that kind of production for 3 million a year makes your team better, period. I'm not a big fan of...

I like this trade for Boston. They get a cheap long term asset in Verdugo who should be a ~3-4 win player for them over a full season plus an excellent pitching prospect who is relatively close to the majors for one year of Mookie. They didn't fleece the way the Yankees did the Cubs for...

He's also insanely cheap and signed for four more years. He had some decent value there.

How much foreskin is Boston gonna send in that deal?

Wasn't the Landlord's Game created by some lady who was a Georgist activist? Meaning that she believed that people didn't have a right to earn profit off of privately owned land and that those types of economic value should be redistributed equally? I don't remember her name, but I do remember...

The Foresight of Financial Flexibility and Fiscal Responsibility

Dude if we just went nuts and traded Acuna, Soroka, and Albies right now we could literally just have all the prospects. All of them. Seriously though, its kinda hilarious just how much surplus value those three players have combined at the moment. They are worth well over a half a billion...

I haven't seen anyone mention this as a possibility, but hasn't Adam Duvall logged a few innings at 3rd base in his career? At the very least I would give him some ST time there to see if he can handle it competently. I'd feel way more comfortable having three high variance options at 3rd base...

With your penis obviously

I'm gonna shoot my dog if someone doesn't post something interesting by 2pm CST tomorrow. You have been warned.

I'm not sure where those two would put their payroll, but it is possible that they would be looking to shave some and Turner might be a logical option to move in that scenario. But I think they would be looking to get fair value back for him, which in his case would probably be in the range of...

Their rotation certainly isn't as good as it has been in the past, but having Kershaw and Buehler at the top is pretty great. They have a bunch of question marks beyond those two, but a lot of quality depth that should be able to fill out their other three rotation spots without too many...

Dude Gonsolin/Verdugo/Downs plus taking Price's contract is an absolutely massive haul for one year of Betts and doesn't seem characteristic of the Dodgers at all. I'm actually pretty skeptical of a trade like that happening.

You know that isn't actually the worst answer ever. Before he got hurt he was showing some signs of life as a prospect. He is going to be 24 this season, so this really may be his last chance to show that he can make it. But stranger things have happened. It would be a nice little story if...

Tarnok is a guy that I've been high on since he was drafted. It was always thought that he'd move really slow through the system, but I think he has a lot of upside that you don't usually see from guys drafted in the 3rd round. This will be his 4th season in the organization and I think this...

I'm still pretty skeptical of the Reds overall, but they have substantially improved this offseason. I'm not sure what their ceiling is though because now that Votto has declined, they seem to have a bunch of good players but no great players. Outside of Suarez, do they have a position player...

It just depends on the value we'd be getting. If we could center a deal around Riley and an arm, I'd do it immediately. If its for Waters plus some sub 40 FV prospects, then I'd do it in a heartbeat. If its for Waters plus Wright or something along those lines, I'm not doing it.

Bumgarner's HR/FB rate isn't really as bad as you'd think it'd be for someone who gives up as many home runs as he does. He had the 44th worst HR/FB rate among qualified starters in 2019. Bumgarner's HR problem last year was his complete inability to induce ground balls at all. He had the 3rd...

I'm really excited to see Shea and Braden in person next year at AA Mississippi and also to get some more reports on Langeliers defensive prowess. How good Shea is defensively is going to give us an idea of how good his offense needs to be to succeed. I really wish that there was publicly...

I'd take the over on 35 but the under on 40. I think it'll be somewhere in that ballpark. But I'm very confident that he'll pitch poorly at home this year.
