2020 Offseason Thread

The interesting part is that ESPN supposedly knew about this back in 2016, but somehow the Cubs and the local media was oblivious to it. Sounds like it was covered up and hushed. Meanwhile Theo is one step away from running the league.

That's a lie......

Jeff Passan is really, really pissed at the "irresponsible" WFAN hosts who suggested that ESPN sat on the Jared Porter story for four years.

So basically, Passan is claiming that she never mentioned it to anyone until now, and ESPN was unaware of it until now? Interesting.

Dominos are starting fall. Springer and Brantley to Jays and Quintana to Angels.

Anyone see deets on Brantley's 3 years yet? Is it guaranteed? Buyout? Cost Per Year? I wouldn't have wanted him locked in for 3 years at a high per year cost.

Springer, Brantley and Yates....To the Jays...Not bad!

[Bainsy]

Yankees ,Toronto and Tampa to fight it out for the East Division....

[Sockeye]

The Springer deal was pretty rich for my taste.

[Bainsy]

If they sign Bauer....They will be the favorites to come out of the AL. And they have a ton of money.

[Sockeye]

Conflicting reports on Brantley, with Jays now saying a deal is not in place.

Saw that, I’m sure that deal will get done. They need pitching though. Does you no good to have a powerful lineup but garbage pitching. Sign Bauer and make a few moves and now they’re talking.

[dabears34ft]

This should light a fire under ours and the Yankees ***** to make a move. I wonder what will come of Brantley? Seems to be some bad reporting this morning and a battle of who's 1st. I've been getting Athletic updates 1st on the last few MLB moves. With MLB.com shortly after, followed by ESPN

Does a trade for Benintendi make any sense for the White Sox?

(provided that they do not have to trade a major asset or top tier prospect)

Yes,, if we do not have to give up anything of huge value...But I do not see Boston just giving him away.

[Bainsy]

I'm too lazy to look at the Pirates roster....But do they have anything of value left to trade? They seem to be trading some assets for prospects.

[Bainsy]

Oooops..........Brantly back to the stros...
