Official Offseason Thread

Not defending it in any way but I'm pretty sure they are proposing Bryant AND Quintana for Waters, Riley, Wright and Tarnok.

Can't see that.

I would do:

Bryant, Quintana, Happ

for

Inciarte, Riley, Anderson and Tarnok
 
Supposedly same account that broke Betts trade is saying Arenado to White Sox. Arenado has to talk with white sox owner first.

That guy didn't break the Betts trade. He had been saying the Betts trade was done like 3 months ago. He also got the players wrong and said that Bryant to the Braves was a done deal. He's a well documented guy who makes all sorts of insider claims and then deletes every tweet on his account every time it doesn't work out... then he changes his Twitter name and starts all over again. It was rumored for like 2 weeks now that Betts was going to the Dodgers... not exactly out on a limb.

I've run the numbers and there is approximately a 1.38174% chance of that trade happening, but if it did the White Sox might go from a 77 win team to a solid 82 win team. Might be worth it.

If you can't tell, I'm the low man on the White Sox next season lol. I think the Twins and even the Indians are still significantly better than them.

So the chisox are the padres of the AL
 
I do think that Yanks are prime trade partners now with Paxton on the IL till around June. Wright and Camargo for Andujar?
 
David Kaplan said people around the game arent as high on Bryant as Cubs fans are, take it FWIW.

I'm with them.

Don't get me wrong, he'd fit perfectly right now and I'd love to add him - just not backing up the truck for him. Matt Chapman on the other hand...

Too steep for my liking - whether it fits the value models is always another story. Andujar's 3B defense is going to be close to historically bad and we've already got a 1B with Ozuna hitting behind him this year.

Swap out Wright for Newk and I'm all in - Riley can take over 3B when the DH comes, and you can use Culberson or Hech over there in the late innings for defense at least this year.


Completely against my nature, but I think THIS is the year AA gets rewarded for his patience. Riley and Wright finally take that last step forward, and when you add the two of them, Pache, and Waters to the roster full-time in 2021 he's going to be *hitting financial flexibility all over the yard.
