Around Baseball Offseason Thread

I think you are in the same boat with Miller and Freeman. You have to keep both guys unless some team comes along willing to offer a TON of value. If not, not big deal. If so, and the package helps you in a near future, you pull the trigger.

Freeman can re-establish value if he goes out and has a healthy year back closer to his career numbers.

The pitching market next season is pretty light, so you make Teheran and Miller available in the right deal after the season.
 
I don't think we need a TON for Miller... We just need good value. We are wasting his cheap years on garbage seasons... so let's maximize his value

Olney: Since Shelby Miller's name first emerged in the trade market, the Giants and Dodgers have checked in on his availability.

Considering we asked for Pollack from the D-Backs, I doubt we see trade talks about Miller gaining any real traction. I'm actually not opposed to trading Miller. He had a great bounce back year and has a good bit of value. Still, he looks to have gotten a little lucky last year and is still a risky proposition. If we could get back some legitimate young offensive talent, I'd pull the trigger and deal Miller.

I think it's the right move to leave Camargo unprotected. Would be quite a reach for him to stick on someone's roster. Looking forward to seeing upcoming Rule 5 eligibility list, as we'll almost surely take someone.
 
Zimmerman to the Tigers for 5/110 it seems. 22 million a year for a ~3 WAR pitcher. The 7 million per WAR line still seems to be in place. Will be interesting to see if position players come in a little bit higher then that.
 
Thats about what i figured JZimm would get.

Be interesting if thats what Cueto wants/gets.
 
Was offered 5/105 and he declined, only signed for 5 more mil.

Maybe he wanted to be closer to home, he's from Wisconsin.
 
It may or may not be a sinking ship, but there is definitely a bad vibe in Washington. I wouldn't be surprised if that contributed to his decision.

It depends. If Harper is healthy, he's one of the best five position players in the game. Scherzer is a great anchor in the starting rotation. Farm system still looks pretty solid. Curious to see how they fill in behind those two, but they will likely have money to spend. I think their biggest problem is that the Mets have improved so dramatically. I think the Mets are closing the window for them more than anything else.

Mets were a year ahead of where they should be.

Most of the Mets SP is under control for a good while.

Strasburg is a FA after this year and will be in heavy command next winter if he doesnt get a new deal.
 
Solid deal for Detroit. 22 million is a bit price but keeping it to only 5 years is a big win. And no I don't care how much his salary relates to WAR. It's a trash stat.
 
I really hope we can swing a deal for Baez. I feel like Shelby holds enough value we could get him and one of their prospects in the 6-10 range.
