I have heard assumptions of like 2/30~32 for Turner. My biggest issue with JT is that I'm worried he'll fall off a cliff and turn into the righty 3B version of Adrian Gonzalez, able to drive it in the gap, but not always fast enough to make it to second.

Based on how things have been going in the USA covid-wise, I don't think it's possible we're going to have a full season schedule with full stadiums by the time April rolls around.

I mean we just won yesterday, why am I doing this to myself? Dodgers offseason/FA wishlist: keep the band together as much as possible, though it'll be hard. Also unsure of roster sizes for next year. Turner: Conflicted. Still can rake, just worried about dropping off a cliff. Would probably be a good almost full time DH candidate should it be here to stay. Wouldn't mind Rios getting more playing time. McGee: Expendable, most likely. Didn't get to see him all that much this year, seemed to only throw fastballs. Multiple lefties (Gonzalez, Kolarek?, even Wood) seemed to be ahead of him in the pecking order. Baez: Love/hate relationship. Probably too expensive, go get your (COVID-suppressed) payday. Welcome back for the right price. Wood: Can he be stretched back into a starter? If so, worth another one year deal if he's not too pricey. Could be useful in the Stripling semi-swingman role, though that seemed to have negative effects on Chicken Strip. Treinen: Sure, why not. Hopefully not used in quite as high leverage situations as this year if he comes back. Keeks: Please stay. Just amazing in general, and Madbum is still in the same division. Fingers crossed. Joc: Oh Joc. I love you Joc. I wish you fit in to the makeup of this team better, but it seems like it's probably time to say goodbye. Sign with an AL team so that you can continue to reign in Joctober. other random thoughts: Barnes seems to be personal catcher for the top two in the starting rotation now. Does that mean Smith continuing to DH a lot? Can Mookie keep Barnes hitting? Does this make Keibert somewhat expendable as a really valuable trade chip (also Cartaya is around lol), or do we just carry three catchers next year? Where does Lux fit into all of this? Can he make the throw from 2nd lol? Looking forward to seeing Gray and White next year.

bawfuls posted:I doubt he gets the same AAV as the deal he's just completed. For what he's going to get who cares if he breaks down in the last year of it? That's fair, I'm just paranoid that that breakdown is coming in something like 50 games or so. But as long as he's healthy for the postseason, I guess it doesn't matter.

They'll split the difference. I fully expect MLB to try its hardest to do a 162-game schedule, but there's no way stadiums will be at full capacity, and the league will use public gathering limits (e.g., Chicago) as an excuse to try to get the MLBPA to agree to something like a 20 percent universal salary rollback.

What I want the Astros to do in the offseason: - Non-tender Osuna - Be aggressive about resigning George - Failing the above, try to sign Brantley to a 2/3 year deal - Try to extend Correa. He’s an injury nightmare but if you’re going to lose Springer then you’ll need him offensively and he’s a solid defender. Plus, that’ll secure the IF nucleus for a while. What they’ll probably actually do: - Somehow keep Osuna around forever - Let Brantley and Springer walk after incredibly weak negotiations - Never even broach the subject of an extension with Correa - Buy some smaller, more discreet cans

Only 20%? There's going to be a declined option/non-tender bloodbath, every team is going to dive under the salary ca....umm, luxury tax threshold and we're probably going to see an avalanche of 1 year deals before the CBA expires in a year. Many fans will happily lick the boot. Then owners are going to make it all up, with mob-style interest the second a new CBA is settled by expanding by 4 teams instead of two.

Giants Offseason Wishlist - Throw money at all the best FA starting pitchers, including the ones on the team this year. Also use Zaidi magic to find some bad and cheap starters that can be polished up into good starters. - Also throw money at all the best FA relievers. Also Zaidi magic etc. etc. - Some more utility infielders? Can't have too many utility infielders. - Bring up all the prospects. - Hope Zaidi stole whatever Dodgers Devil Magic turns every prospect into a superstar. Too bad this offseason isn't exactly ripe with impact starters. I don't give a poo poo about Trevor Bauer's terrible tweets, if he actually has the balls to sign a one-year deal the Giants should jump on that. We don't have much in the way of pitching prospects either, especially at the upper minors.

So here's the question that's gonna make a lot of Cubs fans angry at me: if the market is such that the Cardinals don't think Wong is worth his $12.5M option, do the Cubs think Rizzo is worth his $16.5M one?

Rizzo is probably safe because he is 100 percent the PR face of the franchise. They'll exercise his option as an attempt to save face and say that they're still willing to spend within COVID restraints while dumping Bryant and others for pennies on the dollar.

Wong has only had 2 seasons with an OPS+ (barely) above Rizzo's career worst this year, Rizzo will be back. The real question is will they let him walk or will Jed drop big bucks on a 1B with back issues on the wrong side of 30.

if the cubs are going to what they've been telegraphing and just stop spending money and being competitive for the foreseeable future i would like them to blow some money on keeping Big Rizz around even if he ages and stinks and can't move anymore because it is cool to have him on the team.

I think Turner will get the Friedman special: minimal years at a high AAV. Something like the Rich Hill deal. I'd be happy to see Enrique and Treinen be brought back, but I wouldn't bet on it. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say JT will be the only outgoing FA to re-sign. An as-is super deep team coupled with the current economic landscape would seem to spell a very quiet offseason for the Dodgers. A JT deal, a few under-the-radar signings and trades...maaaybe an extension for Corey? I am not expecting much.

No matter how heartbreaking it’ll be to see your World Series-winning team yuck it up at the White House in a few weeks, at least Dodgers fans can take solace in the fact that it won’t get more embarrassing than watching them do a Titanic reenactment.

Atlanta: Free agents: Tyler Flowers, Shane Greene, Cole Hamels, Adeiny Hechavarría, Nick Markakis, Mark Melancon, Marcell Ozuna, Pablo Sandoval, Josh Tomlin - Give Ozuna all the money. - Maybe re-sign Greene, maybe Melancon. - The rest of the above are either horrible or toast. - Sign another starting pitcher or three, preferably people who aren't rear end and aren't old. - If you can end the Austin Riley experiment, please do. He's not horrible, but slightly below league average seems to be his future. - Dump Luke Jackson and clean every surface his greasy hair has touched.
