K26dp Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 This was a tough day for mid-grade outfielders. All these guys were non-tendered: David Dahl Adam Duvall Eddie Rosario Kyle Schwarber Albert Almora Delino DeShields Brian Goodwin Scott Heineman Erick Mejia Bubba Starling Ben Gamel Nomar Mazara Tyler Naquin Jose Martinez These are added to a pool that already had Jorge Bonifacio, Jarrod Dyson, Adam Eaton, Brett Gardner, Matt Joyce, Nick Markakis, Cameron Maybin, Josh Reddick, Hunter Renfroe, and Steve Sousa.

True, but it is a sign the Mets recognize and are looking to correct a recurring flaw -- going for offense over defense behind the plate.

AUTiger7222 Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 Former pitcher Chris Young withdrew his name from the Mets GM search a few days ago and today it was announced he has been hired as new GM of the Rangers. Long time Rangers GM Jon Daniels will assume the role of president. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Phillies have told teams they'll trade Wheeler. Team is reportedly looking to dump some contracts. Harper isn't believed to be one on the books. Whoever the new GM is will be busy. Philly is said to be in the middle of a financial crunch.

K26dp Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Arrieta Santana Hunter Neshek Robertson Ramos McCutchen Harper Wheeler $709.2M in guarantees handed out in three off-seasons. There's stupid money, and then there's the Philadelphia Phillies. They never properly concluded their rebuild, tried to rush it with free agency and trades. Think they'd like JP Crawford, Jorge Alfaro, and Sixto Sanchez back now? AUTiger7222 and ATL Fan in the DMV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they'd like JP Crawford, Jorge Alfaro, and Sixto Sanchez back now? This is exactly what several people pushed for the Braves to do. They wanted the Braves to send stupid money without a plan to get better. But Coppy and now AA have done a wonderful job with the rebuild and now we've got 3 straight division titles and 1 win away from the World Series to show for it with the best yet to come.

And now the Phillies have said they wouldn't trade Babe Ruth or Ted Williams for Wheeler. Technically, I agree with them. It's a bad move to sign dead players. falconsd56, RING OF HONOR, CrimsonFalcon and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure salary dump. Reds GM said he was just looking for an arm he could use in the bullpen in 2021 and money to help the roster elsewhere.

Given that Lynn's only earning $8 million a year, less than what we're paying for Smyly, I like the deal a lot more for them during a time of economic uncertainty. I'm reminded of when Philly traded J.A. Happ and another player for Roy Oswalt. Dunning looks like a moderate rotation guy who turns 26 in a few days. Sure, there's risk, but Lynn would/should have gotten a lot more at the trade deadline. They screwed up by waiting. AUTiger7222 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
