Dodgers gave Roberts a 4 year deal. :/

Kenley working on cardio week after his heart surgery. And Magic plus his partners going all in and met with Harper. He probably tried to pull a move he used with Lebron

Trade for Goldschmidt who can walk in a year. Same as Ozuna.

Or just spend on Harper who you can for sure lock up long term.

Nationals are going to heavily regret that deal and just lol @ Yankees fans getting mad because the Yankees are "cheap" for not paying Corbin $23.3 million AAV over six years.

On one side I really hope the white sox don't spend that much on one player that is likely only going to average like 3 WAR during the contract. On the other side it would be nice to have a star player on the white sox again since they really haven't since Frank Thomas (Chris Sale was to some degree but you only got to see him every 5 days)

That's a lot of money for effectively 1 good year.

Holy fuck. Nats have a ton tied up in 3 pitchers.

Guess they're out on Harper.

The fact that the reported number the Yankees offered was 5/100 doesn't mean that was their last, best and final.

It assuredly wasn't. There's no reason to put your cards on the table when the guy across from it wants a term you're not willing to do, e.g. a sixth year.

Phils are going to react fast. I'm thinking they go after Harper and get it done.

Tucker Barnhart tweeted something suspicious after the Reds blockbuster trade leaked out.
Kluber is gonna be ours :,)

Or Baur
I mean he's great but his views and personality are gross.

I really hope the Mets don't trade Rosario or Conforto for Realmuto, but a Nimmo led package PLUS a signing of Pollock makes me happy

I'm calling Arizona the winner there.
two former top 100 players (once as recently as this year was 55th) another decent prospect and a draft pick for a 1 year rental.

I mean there is a chance none of them can pan out, but that seems like a really solid return for a 1 year rental.

I guess my viewpoint is its a great trade for both. Cards have pitching they believe can fare better than Weaver, and Kelly looks be supplanted by Knizner. I just don't trust this approach anymore, it burned us w/ Heyward (though that clearly turned out in our favor), but Goldschmidt will likely want to test FA, and Ozuna will for sure.

I also feel that since Goldy was acquired via trade, they still should go for Harper. Either way, you have a guy to build around, and if you extend Goldschmidt or Ozuna depending on how he bounces back, then even better.

I just don't see the Cards going that route. We'll get a few BP arms, and that'll be it. Fowler in RF next year w/ O'Neill as the 4th guy.

Well, I suppose there's always the "trade Goldschmidt before the deadline to the Yankees when you're out of playoff contention" dreams.
