Moniak was above average with the bat last year and hit mostly righties. Freeland has 2026 $16M guaranteed then a $17M 2027 vesting option.
Rockies getting a new GM so maybe they might be interested in actually making moves: Astros get: SP Kyle Freeland OF Mickey Moniak Rockies get:...
I would take the under, just because there’s a lot of downside between age related decline and injury risk. But it’s going to be close. I think...
Jake Cronenworth and Jeff McNeil aren’t necessarily overpaid, but they are 2B on significant contracts on teams that might be willing to talk...
It’s an interesting question but I disagree with your analysis. Pena is really the only guy who played a lot who looks like he had a career year...
Anthony Santander and Andrew Benintendi come to mind but neither of their teams are likely to want Walker. Arizona would probably be interested...
Walker is not worth $40M/2yrs, which is what remains on his contract. My guess was that if he were a free agent, he’d be looking at something...
Roster Resource on fangraphs has them at ~$155M CBT calc for their 7 guaranteed contracts (Altuve, Yordan, Correa, Hader, Walker, Javier,...
It was interesting that Dana Brown talked openly about needing a backup C (and potentially bringing back Caratini). I expected them to at least...
Cole was on a 5 win pace in the majors. He posted elite elite power and baserunning numbers and was more than adequate defensively. He walked at...
No, but his big league sample was enough to avoid counting on him to be a decent hitter. He needs to be traded (if another team values him...
Mark DeRosa would be somebody I would look at if they fire Espada. It’s a bummer Beltran is not an option.
If you’re willing to carry 2 OF on the bench then Smith/Cole and Meyers/Melton probably form 2 pretty badass platoons.
I will be very surprised. Teams have to have a media availability after their season, so I think this is just them checking that box.
Rangers let Bochum go and publicly said they’re cutting payroll. They only have 5 meaningful contracts (Seager, deGrom, Eovaldi, Semien, and...
There are like 3-4 contending teams that even have that kind of prospect capital (Brewers, Cubs, Dodgers are the only ones I see) and none of them...
Ok well you’re not getting 4 Top 100 prospects for a DH only guy coming off a season where he missed over 100 games and didn’t hit that well when...
So sell low on Yordan Alvarez so you can overpay another aging 1B. I refuse to believe that’s actually your “dream”. You’re smarter than that.
If a couple of young players hit their ceiling I could see an everyday lineup of: CF Smith 2B Paredes DH Alvarez 3B Correa RF Cole SS Pena LF...
An outfield of Smith, Meyers, and Cole would probably be the best defensive outfield in baseball.
