Probably but why would you keep him on a 40 man when the last pitch he threw in AA was a 82 MPH fastball?

If they were going to remove him from the 40 they would have on Tuesday

That's definitely not for the purpose of driving his price as high as possible

e: the Cubs absolutely should bid hard on him of course, both on the off chance, however remote, that he might prove willing to leave the West Coast, and also to make sure the Dodgers have to pay him every possible penny

This still feels like a gigantic scam to try and extort more money out of Oakland, but maybe that's just because Fisher is an incredibly incompetent person in general

like there's basically nothing that's been determined about how this stadium will be built in Vegas outside of the skeleton of a funding arrangement and a site which doesn't seem to provide enough of a footprint for what is being proposed. Supposedly the agreement they have with the Ballys corporation on the 9 acres site on the Tropicana land has some opt-out clauses that can be triggered by Bally's or the A's at the end of the year, though I have just seen that speculated on as I haven't read the text of the agreement myself.

If this is a scheme to extort money from Oakland I'm not sure it's gonna work because it sounds like the city is done trying to negotiate with them.

well they did just have some big city council meeting where they declared that they were ready to keep the team in Oakland, but yeah it's hard to say whether that was just done for PR purposes to sooth what's left of the fanbase.

White Sox continue their quest to collect Royals castoffs. Nicky's an expensive all-glove little bat guy but he seems nice I guess.

Lots of rumors that KC is shopping Salvy and the White Sox are one of the rumored destinations (he's got a strong bond with the manager).

And when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss goes 8-8

I’m hearing reports that Shohei Ohtani is “desperate” to sign with the World Champion Texas Rangers. “I want to hang out in the clubhouse and blast Creed with the boys,” Ohtani was reportedly overheard saying.

of course they aren't in the realistic plans, Ohtani decided he wanted to be a Dodger at least 6 months ago and it's very unlikely they don't make him a competitive offer.

Well it could be Mariners management concluding he's going to sign with the Dodgers and they have better things to do than spend the winter bidding up the price. Or it could be ownership saying "lolno we are not giving out any $600M contracts" who knows.
