    This is pretty similar to the Homer Bailey signing, just a guy to fill the #5 spot in the rotation. He won't move the needle much. Here's hoping for a Sonny Gray / Luis Castillo trade, or something in that vein.

    Well, they made a move today:

    So, Brantley to the Jays isn't happening. Instead, Houston wooed him back:

    Blankenhorn should be able to handle 2B & 3B. But we definitely need at least one veteran who can play SS/3B and can back up Donaldson and Polanco. Gordon is still on the 40 man, but it's hard to trust him to back up SS.

    Top notch catching prospects are rare. If you're going to trade one, you better be getting several years of a quality player (as the headline prospect). Not a year and a quarter of an above average reliever.

    I'd only bring Marwin back on a minor league deal. His bat is subpar and his skills in the outfield regressed, leaving his only real skill as a strong fielder at 1B/2B/3B. No thanks! I'm glad to see the Blue Jays land some deals, I'd like to see them be more competitive in 2021. Perhaps they can hang with the Yanks and Rays.

    Finally, a big deal! Also for the Jays:

    How many more starters are the Padres going to hoard?! They've got all-out upgrading their rotation, as they've traded for Clevinger, Darvish, Snell, and Musgrove in the past 6 months. Truly an unprecedented situation here. Also:

    I'm alright not getting Kluber... I just don't like the odds that he'll be as good as he once was and that he'll stay healthy.

    Falvey liked The Last Jedi? I can already hear the Twins-Star Wars fans raising their pitchforks.
  14. Danchat
    The Mets haven't gotten him to sign the deal yet, but it seems they're the favorite to get him.

    Not sure if I'd call that a lowball offer, he was likely going to get $4.3M to $5.7M in arbitration and the Reds didn't even tender him. He probably deserves more than just a one year deal, but he's getting more moolah in Philly.

    The reliever market is starting to move. Soria and Colome might be signing soon, according to reports.
  18. Danchat
    I do think the White Sox are better at the moment, but not by a lot. The offseason has barely started, and both sides will likely continue to make signings... the Twins need to add some hitting and relieving if they want to stack up on paper. Chicago's lineup is very strong and still very young, and the Twins' is lagging behind, especially down Rosario and Cruz.

    At this point I don't see any changes coming for the O-line scheme, especially since Dennison is returning as the OL coach. Bradbury and Cleveland are clearly zone guys who likely wouldn't work in a power scheme. Reiff and O'Neill would likely be fine in either. They really can't reboot the entire interior of the line since they just sunk 1st and 2nd rounders into Bradbury and Cleveland... it's not an ideal situation.

    Benintendi gets on base a lot more often (.353 OBP to .319 OBP) and averages 17 HRs a year. Kepler's had one outstanding season and 4 middling offensive seasons. They both have their niches - Benintendi is more suited for a leadoff role (much better at stealing than Kepler too), while Kepler is better at driving in runs.
  21. Danchat
    I'd love to go in a time machine and tell everyone in 2013 that Hendriks would one day make the most $ per year for a reliever in 2021... that'd be a hard sell. There was no reason to believe that this type of turnaround was going to happen, so the decision to DFA him was fine. But when in doubt, try a failed starter in bullpen - you'll never know what will happen!
  22. Danchat
    I’m hearing that the Red Sox are close to moving Benintendi, but the other team is unknown.
  23. Danchat
    The White Sox are splurging on a top-notch reliever. We're going to be seeing a lot more of him in the future...
  24. Danchat
    That’s a pretty disappointing return for Cleveland. I would have made that move in an instant, especially with Carrasco involved.
  25. Danchat
    Yeah, I don't get the love for Kepler. He was great in 2019, but his bat has consistently been middling the other 4 years he's played. His deal is pretty cheap, but he's starting to get more expensive. Kiriloff and Larnach have similar ceilings to him, and will be much cheaper. Also, Larnach is #10 and Kiriloff is in the top 5? Methinks they're very close as prospects and should be closer together in the rankings. Larnach's had the better minor league track record, but Kiriloff is younger (and younger compared to the competition throughout the minors).
