I’m sure he has everybody’s offers by now. I wouldn’t expect there to be a bidding war. Weird nothing has happened. We’ve heard nothing on Correa and Story.

I also thought most big names would be signed in an NBA-like flurry of deals.

I should have known better though. If baseball as an industry is good at one thing, it’s taking something with the potential to bring exciting news cycles to the sport, and throwing a wet blanket over it to smother whatever hype may have been brewing.

You know these guys had dialogue with teams before the lockout and have since it ended. With the season so close you’d think these guys would wanna get settled in a new city. A deadline on offseason moves might not be a bad idea.
 
There’s no deadline in the NBA. Why do they have a crazy first day of FA signing that shifts millions of eyeballs to the sport for a week as everyone digests and dissects how the power in the league has changed? I know nothing about basketball, but even I know when NBA FA hits and the sport world spends a week talking about it.

It’s just frustrating that everything that could be exciting (draft, FA signings, opening of ST) has somehow morphed into a drawn out yawn inducing slog in baseball.

Oh well, just a rant.

Combination of a salary cap and max salaries. There isn’t anything for the top players to negotiate. It always comes down to whatever city that player wants to live in.

Lewis brinson on minor league deal to Astros. Would've liked this deal for braves

Why???

He's never hit more than Pache did the first month of last season, and we know for a fact he's not better than Cristian defensively.

Brinson's another toolsy guy without a hit tool. If you're going to use a roster spot on a defense-only player, you use that spot on the best defense-only player you can find - and that guy's already on the roster.
 
I am very surprised Freddie hasn’t signed with LA yet. That seemed inevitable on Friday. The longer this drags on seems advantageous for the Braves.
 
FYI: On MLB Network Radio this morning, Jim Bowden said the Braves are being very aggressive in years and dollars with Freeman. Heard this from a source close to his camp. Says the 6th year narrative is false and that it’s basically the Braves or Dodgers.

So we are essentially in a bidding war with the Dodgers..
 
Hold strong, Chelsea!
