2020 Team

His velo was way down in the mid-80s when he put on a showcase for other teams recently, but would still like to take a chance on him.

[funkster]

He has a standing offer for a rotation spot with the Ms, but isn't jumping at it?  Sounds like bullshit.

Maybe it's for peanuts. Hard to say, but it doesn't make sense.

Well, this presser seems to make it official.  No real moves coming, incredible.  They better really hope their FO moves made a difference, cause they sure are selling it like those were the big moves they had planned.  Hoping a "new environment" will make the difference with the roster is some serious pie in the sky nonsense.

[rok]

It's been the same state of paralysis for 2 consecutive offseasons. Most of the FO restructuring won't have a significant impact on the big league roster for at least a few years, so it feels like they are hoping for a collapse and forced teardown. We'll see if that finally happens at the July trade deadline.

That would be a fun story -- if he had a resurgence for his hometown team.

Sounds like Walker is signing with Seattle.

$2 million deal, but can earn up to $3 million. Would have been worth a gamble, but probably not on a major league deal.

The Kap Man is at it again...

If the Kapster is wrong, I don't want to be right.  No.  Shot.

Didn't he revamp his swing last offseason too?

This would be an AWESOME trade for the Cubs lol

[rok]

Is this one of Kap's "sources"?

[Kid]

Makes no sense.  Why is Cleveland going to trade Lindor who has 3 years left of team control for Bryant who has 2?
