Winker to the Mets for $7.5M/1yr. Good value there. Sounds like Alonso is going elsewhere.
Dubon and Meyers are good against LHP but not playable against RHP, especially at the same time. Trammell, Dezenzo, and Hummel all project to be...
I suspect Polanco would be better to put in LF, because he is a little faster but also because Paredes is better and more experienced at 3B....
I don’t think so; playing Dubon everyday over Meyers doesn't improve anything. I don’t think they sign Polanco unless they think he can play LF...
Yep, any 7 figure contract is a bargain for Polanco and he’s probably a decent value at anything under $15M.
He is a career wRC+ 115 against RHP. For reference, last season Yainer Diaz hit for a 113 wRC+ against RHP. Polanco has posted a season of 127...
Alvarez only got $2M and Damian $400k so there should be a good chunk left from Houston’s pool of $4M. I can’t find bonuses for any of the other...
You might be looking at 2024. He is #7 on the 2025 list.
Fwiw, Fangraphs has a 45+ grade on Kevin Alvarez. Based on their last 2024 update, that would make him Houston’s 3rd best prospect (after Cam...
Here’s the list: Kevin Alvarez, OF, Cuba (reported $2M bonus) Anthony Millan, OF, Venezuela Omar Damian, RHP, Dominican Republic (reported $400k...
It’ll be very interesting to see how quickly Alvarez is brought to the US complex. He will start out ranked somewhere in the 7-20 range on...
I think Dustin Pedroia was a similar player to Bregman, with defense, plate discipline, and smarts as the hallmarks of his game (Bregman has more...
This mostly makes sense except the dropoff can be dramatic when a guy with middling power loses a little bat speed or a guy with middling speed...
From the current free agents, I like Polanco (if they think he can play LF most days) and Heyward (as a platoon partner with Meyers). Adding...
I’m officially wondering if there’s something in Bregman’s medicals that is scaring teams off.
I think Tucker is very likable in the right city (and agree SF would be a great fit for him much like it was for Pence), but I don’t know if he...
There are still 26 free agents who project for at least 1 fwar. ST starts in 32 days.
Not sure what you mean, he’s listed there and he’s already on the 40 man.
Yes, he’s not listed on that roster
Santander and Verdugo should would round out the roster: 2B Altuve 3B Paredes DH Alvarez RF Santander 1B Walker C Diaz LF Verdugo CF McCormick...
