Re Ohtani trade, I wouldn't be surprised if the Angels tried to package him with Rendon for a reduced prospect package. Looking at you Yankees...

They'd also have to play Stanton in RF the entire season with Ohtani at DH. Unless they send Stanton to Anaheim as part of the deal lol.

Is Rendon completely cooked? I know it's been bad injuries and he's got an awful contract now, but wondering if he is at least a bounceback candidate.

He's going into his Age 33 season coming off back to back seasons ending in hip and then wrist surgery, so I wouldn't expect much

wow I forgot he signed with LA after 2019. Which means 2020 was his last full season, when he played 52 games, six fewer than 2021.

he's going into his age 33 season and will be making $36 million, then for the following four years $38 million I don't know if basesball truly has any unmoveable contracts but that one has to be close. No way in hell anyone is taking it on for one year of Ohtani even if you don't have to include any prospects

Nico not being a finalist at SS is some BS. Tied for second in OAA with Lindor and absolutely passed the eye test. Also  at Yelich being a finalist, he was an absolutely dogshit defender this year. Did they just pick names out of a hat?

tylertfb posted:Soto a RF finalist but Machado not one for 3rd???? It's funny how much people are complaining that a superstar didn't get nominated over good young players in Pittsburgh and Colorado. For as bad as the nominators did with every other position, they nominated the three OAA leaders at third.

IIRC his range is the best in baseball and matches Correa in 2021. That makes up a ton over the "boneheaded" mistakes. Edit: Best SS range.

Man, I always had so much respect for the opinions of sportswriters but this is really making me rethink my stance. E: forgot this is voted on by coaching staffs. They are held in slightly less esteem.

I demand to know if Peralta is any good at fielding. The non-OAA measurements haven't been kind to him in the past. He was usually anything between "not good" and "awful" in his career with 2021 as the exception on Fangraphs.
