I can not comparing multiple variant stats, I am references BRs 2021 projections only. BR projects them both to be the exact same batter next year (given full time 3B duties). A platoon works great if you can afford the extra $18M ($10M if they take ender just to dump salary). Everyone here...

I guess I do not get the thought of trading for Seager. If he replaces Riley, you are getting the exact same batter (just from the other side) as you have now. You pay $18M more and hope that ages 33+ do not show significant regression (like it does on almost all non-superstars). If you want...

I know it is just BR projections, but how much more is Seager worth than Riley? Is this just hometown critics? AR - 243/309/452 w/ 16HR KS - 231/311/428 w/ 15HR

Before we know / hear who all is available and if we will resign JD, I am curious to hear everyone's opinion on blocking prospects? For example: What if HOU decided they really like Mueller & Wright...and would give us Tucker for both. Ignoring value comparisons of the trade, would you want to...

I feel a MLB ready player will be required for NY. What about Folty, Ender, Anderson for Syndergaard, Diaz?

None of this feels like how AA thinks. While he is very analytical in his evaluations, he feels much more like LAD's AA than TOR's AA. I think he wants to build the team today & in the future with young (from within or under the radar) talent and fill in the key holes with short term, high...

I think another thing that is hard to quantify in this advanced stat era is the chemistry of the clubhouse, that leads to attitude (I will pick you up), that leads to clutchness, that leads to team success, that leads to chemistry, that leads to attitude...you get it. Philly decided to build on...

Looking forward to seeing if Wright can make it 3 out of 4 good outings. I think he has the highest potential to be a solid #2 if he can gain consistency.

It is oddly quiet on the Soroka front. That is the scariest part of spring so far.

I think you will continue to see a flurry of lower level FAs sign....that is it. Everyone in the media (including interviews with many playesr) keeps talking about how the teams have changed and something has to be fixed (like now it is broken). That just does not resonate with me though...

The Royals make the most sense, just like SD, JTR will be a FA prior to them competing.

It is all speculation until a trade is consummated. Everyone knows that the Marlins should trade JTR. Mish has heard that Florida has talked with ATL, LAD, SD, CIN, etc. No formal offers from any team have been made. However, judging from the conversation / information, Florida likes the...

When is AA getting back from his six month vacation?

What if AA thinks way outside the box to fill in holes. Houston has a gap in SP coming, we have a gap in cOF. What if he did something like Touki & Weigel for Tucker deal? and plan on spelling Tucker with Camargo if he struggles.

All of this debate hinges on one very unknown thing. Currently, will Marky take a 1 year deal at under $10M? Even though Streamer projects him at 1.1 War, does he think he his better? Does he know this may be his last contract and wants multi-years? Does he want to go back to Baltimore? We...

Of course, who would not want to get rid of the guys that have less value to you...but they also would like to have a #3 pitcher the quality of Wright coming up as Kershaw ages. If Wright is what he could be, a rotation of Kershaw, Buehler, Wright, Ryu is pretty good when you have run producers...

The more I think about it, the more I like it. Haniger was/is my first choice, but he will obviously drain part of the prospect capital we have (at least a couple of them). Verdugo may not cost us any of prospect capital. i am just assuming he is ready for a full season of MLB at a average or...

If the only remaining thing AA did for the lineup was to trade Wright for Verdugo straight up, would you be satisfied? Albies, JD, FF, Acuna, Verdugo, Flowers/Mac, Swanson, Ender w/ Camargo, Culberson, Flowers/Mac on the bench

I believe if you consider the various comments / rumors that have come out along with the comments by AA and other Atlanta brass, that AA has put in place his offers and is waiting for answers. It will likely be until January before the key things happen so the moves can be made. Maybe... 1)...

NYM should maybe swing to the Yankees and do Thor for Andujar +
