2020-21 Free Agent Frenzy

[Cas]

It wouldn't be terrible if Gausman accepted his QO. He alternates between average and above-average (outside of a terrible 2019), and his K rate has gone way up (although his HR rate is still high). One year at $19 million for a rich team that has a lot of payroll space (if they're willing to spend) isn't a bad deal. The worst case scenario is he sucks, and then they can just cut bait.

I dont many forfeiting their draft pick to sign stroman or gausman

I'd have no issues with the Angels doing it for either

If I'm Gausman I sign it.

Seeing as Mets/Giants aren't 'Revenue Sharing' teams per the CBA and I doubt either guy signs for more than 50M, the penalty for the signing team should only be their 3rd/4th highest draft selection.

There’s a certain date that the pick compensation goes away though right? I think it’s usually part way through the season though if I’m remembering correctly

early June

or at least it used to be, who knows this year

Cleveland's estimated payroll for 2021 is $64 million. They have exactly two players under contract for 2021 (Carrasco and Ramirez).

Jays re-sign Robbie Ray to a 1 year, $8 million deal.

That's insane

The Jays, meanwhile, continue to pursue free agents at a breakneck pace. They are interested not only in outfielder George Springer and infielder DJ LeMahieu, but also have been in recent contact with outfielder Michael Brantley and third baseman Justin Turner, among others, sources say.

Hope not, he's someone I really wanted

@MMC @Marc the Habs Fan there doesn't seem to be a lot of FA signings this year

what is the reason

I expect it to pick up after tomorrow's nontender deadline. Because so many players (more than usual) will get nontendered due to financial constraints, teams are waiting to see the full scale of what the market will look like before making moves.

Kemp back to Oakland 1 yr 1.05 m.

hopefully they bring back la stella next

That would be nice. Kemp is a backup and Pinder hasn't proven he can hit consistently yet.
