The Braves were able to do that before the Ohtani and Soto deals gave every player visions of sugar plums. Also, the Braves had a bunch of guys...
LHH FA OF: Verdugo Winker Heyward Gamel Sheets LHH OF potentially available in trade: B Lowe W Abreu Yastrzemski Mullins S Brown J Lowe Wade...
After this last week of moves, the Rangers moved ahead of the Astros in fangraphs projections. They are neck and neck. The Rangers have some...
DFA’ing Kessinger over Cooper Hummel and Bennett Sousa is an interesting choice.
<200 pa in AAA (where he had a 78 wRC+). That’s in range of “rushed” for a guy in his 3 full pro season. But yeah it’s not extreme.
Elite raw power, plus game power, plus speed, solid arm. For now he is still mostly tools, although he has performed well enough across 2.5...
Not sure a separate thread is necessary, but there is almost zero chance this depth chart looks the same by opening day. Houston will add at...
Looking highly doubtful to me. Walker Buehler just got $21M plus incentives. Looks like any pitcher worthy of a rotation slot is gonna get 8...

There’s a theoretical case that Goldschmidt will outhit Walker in 2025. Walker cost $60M plus a $1M penalty in international signing and a 2nd...
The max risk of Goldschmidt’s contract is $12M. The max risk of Walker’s is $60M. Both players are in their mid 30’s. Yes, Walker is likely to...
Probably a little more. Luzardo has an extra year of control but has not been healthy or as good.
Phillies getting Luzardo for their #3 (71 overall) and #13 prospects.
Interesting note from Fangraphs prospect guy’s chat: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/eric-longenhagen-prospects-chat-12-20-24/ 12:41 Kelvin Cato:...
Top 5 trade targets: Brandon Lowe Cedric Mullins Luis Robert Jr. Wilyer Abreu Mike Yastrzemski
That’s a good signing for the Yankees. Probably a better $:$ value than Walker.
