Mets sign Clay Holmes for $38M/3yrs as a SP. solid value as he would have been worth that as a RP.
So much for trading Caratini to the Rays. $8M/1yr is a good value. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/12/rays-sign-danny-jansen-catcher.html
It would be fascinating to see Bellinger traded. His contract leaves its analysis very subjective. It’s either $32.5M/1yr (if Bellinger plays...

Highlighting Houston’s rotation depth: Spencer Arrighetti showed the ability to miss bats and quietly posted an excellent finish in 2024; over...
Yeah I would peg him for something like $16M/2yr with potential bonuses and maybe an opt-out. Anything under $30M total guarantee is probably a...
Unless Bregman gives a big discount and the Cubs eat a ton of Bellinger’s salary, it’s extremely unlikely Crane would pony up for both of those...
Not so sure, they’ve got some decent young players and they’re probably a 3B and a ToR SP away from being over .500 this season.
Some context for Arrighetti’s potential trade value: Severino 2023: 7.96 k/9, 2.97 bb/9, 4.12 xFIP Arrighetti 2023: 10.61 k/9, 4.03 bb/9, 4.01...
Man, imagine if all the dead money the Astros are carrying (~$60M) was productive. If Abreu, McCullers, Javier, and Montero were all healthy and...
Pena certainly can hit 2nd against lefties. Not against RHP.
Who would be upset with this opening day roster: 2B Altuve DH Alvarez RF Tucker C Diaz LF Conforto 1B Santana 3B Polanco CF McCormick SS Pena...
For now if I’m making a prediction, I don’t think Houston will actually sign a major free agent. I think they’ll fill their holes with lesser...
I think 90% of the top free agents will sign before Christmas. Predictions: Soto: Mets (next in line: Jays, Dodgers) Burnes: Braves (Red Sox,...
It’s going to get even worse if/when MLB (or the teams) get ALL the streaming/tv rights, and the channels are sold directly as a service solely...
I am pretty high on Polanco too. I am totally cool with him being Houston’s opening day 3B next season, so long as he is the 2nd or 3rd best bat...
That deal would favor Houston quite a bit imho. Bohm will make less than half what Pressly will make and comes with another year of control....
Problem is there’s not really any bad contract that’s tradable other than McCullers, who still has a chance to recoup some value. I don’t think...
https://t.co/6uTp9fX8WN The Astros aren’t signing Bregman. It would not shock me if they signed a different big free agent (Fried, Adames,...
Well, I think the idea is that a proven market-value RP like Pressly is a luxury the Astros don’t need or can’t afford. I also think that Houston...
