They might retain Holt, who has expressed strong desire to stay. But both Lin and Hernandez will be out of options, so they either get a spot or get lost...
-
No, but that is a common misconception. The popularity of the mp3 pushed Columbia House out of the music distribution industry and into the next logical step of murder for hire. Happens all the time. K-Tel did it too... -
This is true. But I think they get Boyd or Ray...
-
Next season, I think Hernandez and Lin take the roster spots occupied by Holt and Nunez...
-
Dalbec is the better fielder, but with Devers taking 3b, I keep Chavis. 1b is just not as hard to defend as 3b. I’ve taken the stance most of the season that I am surprised Dalbec is still with this organization...
-
Love JBJ but I send him to Queens for Diaz. That said, it can’t be a 1 for 1 deal...
-
Well yeah. That goes without saying. Also Winona Ryder and the Columbia House Company. (Get your first eight hitmen for a penny!! Ah but you have to buy lots more later!)
-
If that’s true, then Cashman dropped the ball. Andujar was certainly a nice source of RHH power, but to pass on a potential TOR starter with multiple years of control in order to hold on to a defensively limited 1b/DH type strikes me as a bad non-move. The Yankees could have replaced Andujar with the money spent on Happ much more efficiently than the struggle they will have trying to replace what Cole would have brought. And they did, with LeMahieu. But hey, hindsight is 20/20...

So you think it was a big conspiracy with ties all the way up to and including Keith Richards and the Hostess Corporation? Big Twinkie is in on it?
-
Per Rotoworld, Speier and Ken Rosenthal are reporting the Sox weak farm likely has them out on Diaz, Shane Greene and Rasiel Iglesias. Alex Colome was not mentioned, but it’s also possible they’re out on him as well. So the pen upgrade will be a lesser pitcher. Buck Farmer, anyone?
-
Well it’s still good advice...
-
Wasn’t it a case of mistaken identity? To me the moral of the story is “when pricing hitmen, don’t suddenly get cheap.” Although I’m not sure I can use this lesson in my daily life...
-
I see the “Marco Hernandez Fan Club” has a new leader. You’re out, moon!
-
The offense is more fun with Chavis at 2b and a slugging 1b in the mix, but the internal options are somewhat limited. Marco Hernandez, Tzu-Wei Lin and CJ Chatham headline the middle infield options. Chatham and Lin are the better defenders, but Hernandez is no slouch. Chavis might require some platoon help at 1b, but the internal options there are pretty weak, too. Ockimey is the closest. Hernandez seems like the most complete player at 2b, but also strikes me as a player you don’t want getting 600 plate appearances. For some reason, Lin strikes me as the most likely late bloomer of the bunch. But that’s all speculation. Chatham is just unlikely barring a monster spring. If the Sox look outside at free agency, Scooter Gennett has struggled his way down into the “potential bargain” bin. He won’t be cheap, but he also isn’t likely to cost what he would have cost a year ago...

Using the values at http://www.baseballtradevalues.com, if Yankees offered Frazier and Loasigia, it would be a fair deal for that pair. That may or may not exceed other offers and also depends how the Diamondbacks feel about that pair, especially Loasigia. Or the Diamondbacks could demand Garcia and be obstinate about his inclusion...
-
Billy Beane traded his best starter (Kenny Rogers) in 1999 to the Mets (for Terrance Long) and just missed the postseason, which he would have made under today’s rules. But he also had a rookie named Tim Hudson step up and fill the void. Can Bieber be this year’s Hudson?
-
Other than not including Garcia, we don’t know what Toronto asked for yet. But sometimes a team will focus solely on one prospect/player, and if they don’t get their guy, they move on without looking at secondary packages. Like Pittsburgh did when the Yankees wouldn’t include Torres (I believe) for Cole...
-
The Sox can’t outbid them. If the Sox move on an established closer, Greene or Colome are more likely.
-
While fans like “consistent” hitting, over the course of a season, this concept is extremely rare. Every hitter has good and bad stretches. One good month can take a hitter from “average” to “worthy of MVP votes.”
-
It’s not a question of value. A trade of Bauer for Andujar ends Cleveland’s season. Andujar brings nothing this year. If Cleveland was out of it, this deal makes more sense. But they’re not. And with Kluber and Carrasco still on the shelf, a deal of Bauer looks less likely by the day. Now Boyd does make sense here. Spotty track record or not, he’s become one of the best strikeout pitchers in the game today and is under control for several more seasons. If Detroit opts to deal him, Andujar makes a ton of sense for both sides. You’ll need to pair Andujar with Deivi Garcia to get Syndergaard. No idea if this deal makes sense for the Mets because, like most people, I have no idea what the Mets are doing. However, if the Mets flip Stroman for Andujar, then BVW takes a huge step closer to genius.
-
Because BVW is acting like a kid trading baseball cards and NOT an MLB GM with a clue? True story - Steve Matz was injured earlier this year when BVW jammed him into the spokes of his bicycle. Didn’t get the motorcycle sound he wanted. Unless he likes motorcycles that scream in agony...
-
Won’t get you Bauer. But it might get you Boyd...
-
Reportedly the wishlist for the Yankees to acquire Stroman was significantly better than what they settled for. Call it a Division Tax, if you will. No idea what the Mets are doing. Buy Cano! Sell Kelenic and Dunn! Buy Stroman! Sell Syndergaard and Diaz! Sell Wheeler! You can drop your transmission right out of your car changing gears that quickly and that often...
-
I wonder if they keep Stroman. Toronto foolishly took a light package early. The Mets might be able to flip Stroman for better prospects once the dust starts settling...
-
http://www.baseballtradevalues.com has Diaz well over three times as valuable as Dalbec, and roughly equal to Dodger prospects Dustin May and Gavin Lux...
