Blue Jays are in a tough spot. Tough to know what to do in the most competitive division in the league. They’re not the Rays so they can’t...
To me there’s a clear hierarchy of players teams are working through. Soto was the first piece and everyone knew nothing major was getting done...
They were lined up as starters even before the Tucker trade.
Mostly guess, although Boston has been widely reported as involved with Bregman. Both Boston and Toronto were involved with Soto and have the...
Boston, Toronto
Easily Framber, who has just a tick less trade value than Tucker did. Arrighetti has high trade value, probably in line with a prospect ranked in...
Looking at the 2017/2022 rosters: They had an average of 6 3+ fwar position players; the current roster has 5. They had an average of 3 solid...
I think Leon is the type of player who could get hot and be a superstar for a few weeks then never be heard from again. I also could see him...
Surprised there hasn’t been more movement in the market. MLBTR #2, 3, 7-11, 13-14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24-26, 28, 31, 33-35, 37-43, 45, and 47-50...

He was their scouting head. So he was the primary decision maker on who to draft, which players to target via trade, and how to develop their own...
$150M/6yrs would have been the best realistic deal. That ain’t happening. $180M/6yrs would be a fair deal with an appropriate amount of risk...
The way I look at it: Paredes replaces Bregman. Dezenzo is an upgrade from Abreu, Loperfido, and Cabbage, and takes pa away from Singleton...
Paredes will probably outhit Bregman by himself. Walker will not offset the loss of Tucker but between not having Abreu in there and McCormick...
3B Paredes 2B Altuve DH Alvarez TBD Walker, Arenado, Polanco, etc. C Diaz OF McCormick Dezenzo SS Pena TBD The Astros still have a lot of work to...
I don’t have a great explanation but over the course of the offseason I’ve bought in on Zach Dezenzo, to the point that I’d be ok with him being...
Available players ranked in the top 120 of wRC+ against RHP since 2022 (min 400 pa): 20. Joc Pederson 21. Alex Bregman 35. Josh Naylor 38. Brandon...
Weak against RHP: SS, RF, CF, LF Weak against LHP: 1B, LF Astros need a good all-around corner OF plus a good all-around hitter who can...
