    Abreu signs extension.

    Schoop did his job as a placeholder until Arraez got red hot. What's wrong with doing the same thing in 2020? If Arraez was traded...

    No one should be untouchable... Let's not get blinded by less than 400 MLB PAs like several did with the Turtle last winter. I'm intrigued trading with the Cubs...

    Echoing a lot of what's been said already. It's one thing to be added to the 40 man. It's another thing to produce while you're on the 40 man. Why are we putting the cart before the horse claiming these are "big hauls"? We've already seen plenty of players come and go on the 40 man during the Falvine regime. Also, it's not exactly breaking news that Falvine strongly prefers their acquisitions over the existing players from the past regime.

    Who designed this thing? It looks like someone designed it with Legos...

    The 5.2 number is Grandal's fWAR, which appears to be the standard here on TD when it comes to talking about pitchers. Why the big difference between his fWAR and bWAR? I'm not your guy for that answer... It's possible the Twins are paying for Castro's age 35 season if they re-sign him . Grandal is far more talented than him so I think it's a good move for the White Sox. If it takes longer to develop catchers I would hope they can be relied upon later in their 30s compared to other positions on the field!

    They will be solely in Fort Myers to develop free agents and rookies. Then he'll go to spring training with the whole organization. Also... he will be the pitching coach for the GCL league. His dream is to develop pitching programs for the whole organization... And she is very stressed! They have to pack up and move cross country by January!

    My best friend since I was 7 years old is married to him. Very excited for them both!!

    My HAWT Taek is Chicago finishes 2nd in the AL Central in 2020 and challenges for a WC spot. Cleveland's time at the top is over.

    To make room for Grandal, old friend Daniel Palka was DFA'd.

    4/$73 million.
  12. Vanimal46
    Chicago White Sox making moves... Grandal signs for 4/$73 million.

    I almost put this nugget in the Ex-Twins thread after how much we talked about this player in the winter of 2016/17. 3rd team in 3 years...

    Mr. Robot dropped the best TV episode of the year on Monday... That show is legitimately great and under appreciated just like The Americans.

    Concur! Even Detroit can't punt on a roster spot all season. He'd challenge Chris Davis for most consecutive PAs without a hit. https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2019/04/13/video-chris-davis-snaps-0-for-54-streak-with-rbi-single/

    The Raley add is redundant as the 40 man currently stands today. Pretty good bet 1 or 2 corner OFs are traded this winter. Jax is probably the only other player who will get selected in the rule 5 draft. Javier sticks and hopefully makes the decision more difficult next year.
  17. Vanimal46
    Luke Raley, Dakota Chalmers, Jhoan Duran, Gilberto Celestino, and Travis Blankenhorn were the adds. Raley is redundant given the current status of the 40. Makes me think there will be a corner OF or 2 traded this winter.
  18. Vanimal46
    I don't understand your logic. If he's a rapidly declining 40 year old DH only, teams aren't going to come calling offering valuable players for him.
  19. Vanimal46
    With all of the reasons you've given for a rapid decline, what do you expect to get back in a trade? If you feel that way about him, don't you think other teams feel that way and won't give up valuable pieces?
  20. Vanimal46
    For a buy low player I'd look at Givens from Baltimore. Good stuff but hasn't been able to harness it. I'd trade one of the many rule 5 eligible prospects for him.
  21. Vanimal46
    That also requires the bad teams somehow developing these very raw players. Javier would be horrendous as an MLB player next year. Horrendous.
  22. Vanimal46
    Maybe the Astros are onto something... We could eliminate signs entirely if pitchers had a buzzer in their glove. One buzz = fastball. Two buzzes = slider. Etc. Etc. Problem solved!
  23. Vanimal46
    That makes sense to bundle since they're all owned by FOX/Disney. Does ESPN+ also give access to live sports being played on ESPN normally? I don't have interest watching their hawt taek debate shows... It's amazing how we all paid for Amazon Prime video but never use it. Can't remember the last time I clicked on the app to see what shows they have available.

    There's rumors swirling in Twitterland that Luhnow stepped down as GM to avoid being fired... But the reputable reporters haven't said anything about it. Could be a hoax.
