Around Baseball Offseason Thread

Don't think this merits a standalone thread, but the Royals have DFAed Louis Coleman. He's a side-arming righty reliever who's bounced back and forth between Kansas City and Omaha the last few years. He was a fairly consistent reliever for the Royals in 2011 and 2012, but one they developed their cyborg death machine bullpen he was never able to hold onto a spot.

Career 129 ERA+ with a 9.4 K/9, but too many walks and homers make for an ugly FIP. He has some nice career AAA numbers as well. He's 30, and there's really nothing to get too excited about here, but considering the uncertainty in our bullpen, it might worth us making a call to Dayton.

Braves did draft Coleman out of high school. 28th round in 2005.
 
Aw. According to Gammonds, we tried to get in on the Isan Diaz/Aaron Hill deal and fell short. That would have been incredible to fleece Arizona again. Too bad we didn't have a premium top of the order hitter like Jean Segura to sweeten the deal...

If only. Good to know we were at least trying though.
 
White Sox are in the market for a lefty outfielder. Maybe we could match up with them on a Markakis deal? Wouldn't want to send Inciarte to an org with that level of farm system, but they should be able to afford Markakis prospect-wise.

Not sure the FO is interested in trading Nick..He kind of represents the commitment by the FO not to completely handcuff the team. Also, who is the RF depth.. Ender in RF devalues him IMO..

They have some guys like Anderson, Adams and Fulmer who could easily headline a package for Inciarte.

I'll always be grateful to Freddy for game four of the 2013 LDS. A 36-year-old Freddy Garcia threw six innings of two-run ball on the road in an elimination game against Clayton Kershaw. Would have gotten the win, too, if not for Juan bloody Uribe. He came through for us when there was no reason to think he would.

Latos just signed with the ChiSox for $3M and no incentives. I find it hard to believe the Braves couldn't have found a spot for him at that price.
