Thus begins the Madrigal era

? - RF
Luis Robert - CF
Eloy Jimenez - LF
Yoan Moncada - 3B
Tim Anderson - SS
Nick Madrigal - 2B
Jose Abreu - 1B
Yasmani Grandal - C

Get a quality RF and a SP and Sox could do damage in Central IMO

2-yr 40-50 mil seems like a very fair extension for both sides (beyond this next season).

Is Betts on the block? Will Cole crack $300M?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

If the nonsense about Red Sox wanting to cut payroll to avoid luxury tax is true then Betts needs to be on block

And if a team gives up 300M for a SP there GM needs his head examined

Way too much risk in giving a pitcher longterm/300M deal

Shocked to see this guy end up on waivers. 4.0 fWAR last season, should get claimed easily

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

A's could use an upgrade at 2nd, too.

wonder if they're planning to go with neuse as the full time 2B

The problem is Villar made $4.825 million last year and has one more season of arbitration eligibility remaining. And, based on his performance in 2019, he’s looking at a huge raise in arbitration — MLB Trade Rumors predicts he could get $10.4 million.

That’s a whole lot of money for a terrible team to pay to a player who will be looking at free agency after 2020.

So, the Orioles have been trying to trade Villar before Monday’s deadline to tender contracts to arbitration-eligible players. They obviously have not had any luck in stirring up trade interest. So, as first reported by MasnSports.com, they requested outright waivers on Wednesday.

Villar's a good player, he should get multiple offers.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Lol. Every mlb team's nightmare... player is too good that he will get a raise from $4 mil per year to $10 mil per year. Feel bad for the O's that they were in such a difficult position.

Seems too quiet right now

Non-tender deadline is tomorrow, should be some moves around then.
