Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
It almost seems ridiculous to say it, but who's gonna take on a one-year $20 million arbitration case? Is this where the Mets actually start spending money?

Whoever trades for Lindor has to be thinking extension immediately like what happened with Betts.

Dodges got Betts to sign an extension and the market looks... murky going forward, I don't particularly envy anybody hitting FA after next season with CBA negotiations going on. I think if a tem is willing to throw enough money at Lindor he signs.

Lindor had a "down" year too (I know I know short/weird season).

LeMahieu shows how hard it is to evaluate Coors Field players. Rockies fans were bummed when they didn't re-sign him, but no one here thought they were losing a superstar, either.

DJLM in Colorado: .299/.352/.408, 49 HR in 7 seasons
DJLM in New York: .336/.386/.536, 36 dingers in a year and a half (!!!)

Talk radio was roasting Jeff Bridich the other day for letting LeMahieu walk and then giving the exact same 2/$24M contract he got to Daniel Murphy, calling it a fireable offense and I mean... yeah, kinda.

Toronto gets Lindor
Cleveland gets Gurriel Jr. and a couple prospects.

Cleveland gets an outfielder who can actually hit and is under control for 4 years.

Toronto rolls into 2021 with Bichette at 3rd, Lindor at SS, Biggio at 2nd, and Vlad Jr. at 1st. Can they sign him to an extension? Who knows. Maybe they have to give him an opt out after 3 years, but that’s 3-4 years of a potentially all-world infield.
