    Do you think the Cubs regret dealing Gleyber Torres for Aroldis Chapman? It’s one thing to deal Fernando Tatis Jr. for James Shields. But sometimes trading a future star does work out anyway…

    There’s enough post TJS history out there to allow for a very safe guess.

    Would you trade Campbell (plus?) for Sandy Alcantara? He can be controlled for the next 3 years for $55mill…

    But sometimes a prospect’s main contribution in MLB is just playing passably for minimum wage…

    You do realize it’s December 10th, right?

    And you should care. Your dad was probably up half the night perfecting that signature!

    Are Diaz and Grandal really better than Vazquez?

    Burnes wants money. Lots and lots of it. Like Scrooge McDuck levels. That’s my interpretation of him. Again, he won a Cy Young and still lost his arbitration hearings. Either he’s asking for waaay to much cash or he wants something teams can’t give him. Like a small island in the Pacific or a pet baby unicorn…

    They’ll just dial back on the ol’ health insurance again…

    Reportedly, but the Jays go in on everyone and no one has signed there since Kevin Gausman…..

    The Yankees can probably get both Fried and Bregman for what they’re not paying Soto…

    Grandal?? Didn’t he catch Koufax at one point?
  16. notin
    Fried seems more likely at this point, which doesn’t mean much. But it’s probably going to be another case of paying a pitcher in his 30s for what he did in his 20s. If the Sox move Casas, they may need Mayer…

    Bregman will be on their radar as well…

    Of all the pitcher names the Sox are connected to, I put Crochet atop my list…

    Most likely, Sale made it a contingency on waiving his 10/5 rights. The extension was announced two days after the trade. Certainly Atlanta didn’t decide in that 48 hour stretch that they’d seen something in Sale worth adding two years, especially given the spotty health history he had at the time. Almost always if a team offers an extension (or.picks up an option) that quickly after a trade, it’s because it was done to get the player to waive some rights…

    So nearly the exact same pace as Hamilton, unless that last 0.1 (really 0.06) fWAR is crucial to you…

    It makes some sense and it might go up or down. But $11.4 mill over 5 years isn’t exactly a stellar surplus value. Abreu, for example, has a surplus value of $29.8mill over 5 years. Castillo’s is lower but, no matter how he performs, he’s owed $72mill over the next 3 years. His surplus value indicates he should be worth roughly 8 fWAR in that time, which is more than Hamilton. But also for much, much more money. And he also might not reach it…

    I take Crochet over Miller. Not sure where Woo ranks among the three…

    Bullshiit Steamer projections aside, Hamilton was actually worth 1.7 fWAR in 98 games, which extrapolates out to 2.3 fWAR in 136 games. He’s not a step down from Moore. At worst, he’s an equal, and as he’s 5 years younger, is more likely to improve. Moore’s Gold Glove was undeserved. Ceddanne Rafaela played multiple roles and fared better on the defensive metrics. That said, and despite Hamilton’s significantly greater surplus value than Castillo’s, I’d be surprised if even Dipoto entertained that offer, as my guess is the primary reason Castillo is potentially available is because he’s marketed as a “low cost” starting solution…
