Probably want a RHP going on opening day or as many against the Yankees. If Sanchez didnt come off such a bad season then i would go with him but my guess is Estrada.

  • Andrew Cashner wouldn’t have signed his two-year, $16MM deal with the Orioles unless he was allowed to keep his beard, Jon Meoli of the Baltimore Sunreports. The O’s usually have a ban on facial hair (besides “a well-manicured goatee”) but an exemption was made for Cashner, provided that he keeps his beard neatly trimmed. “I just think it’s a part of who I am, and it’s a part of my personality — it’s just me. I think this length is kind of what it’s supposed to be, I guess,” Cashner said, who noted that he disliked having to shave his beard when he played for the Marlins, another club with a facial hair ban.
Surprising to see the O's give in... Not in their MO.

ironically, well manicured goatees are the worst facial hair in the world.

Great signing for the Yanks. Baffles me how he is still on the market and if he gets less than 5M then that will be ridiculous.

Solid 2 WAR player who can hit from both sides. Good signing if he stays healthy and his defense can rebound a bit.

if he's starting next weekend, then he should be able to open the season on the roster, though he may be the 5th starter the first time through the rotation.

That signing stings a bit. Walker if he lives up to his potential can be more potent in that lineup then a Stanton or Judge!!!! Not good.

With the Red Sox having 3 young catchers without options left in Vasquez, Swihart and Leon...any chance we could pick one of them up to be the backup over Maile?

Combined projections:

Vazquez (27): 78wrc+, 2.0war650
Leon (29): 74wrc+, 2.0war650
Butler (31): 71wrc+, 0.5war650
Swihart(25): 69wrc+, -1.2war650

Martin (35): 100wrc+, 3.8war650
Jansen (23): 83wrc+, 2.0war650
McGuire (23): 71wrc+, 1.5war650
Maile (27): 50wrc+, 0.0war650

Sox should be calling US for catcher help.

Swihart is going to play other positions for them, apparently.
