Having six 1 WAR infielders rotating in your corner spots is the new market inefficiency.

If he can play 3B, then I'm cool with the trade I guess. But if they're just sticking him at 1B, I don't get it since you already have Mervis. Plus 1B is not exactly a tough position to fill. I guess what bums me out is it gets them out of having to spend money. A little worried this will be the left handed power bat if they won't sign Bellinger.

Yankees are definitely getting Stroman. Yankee media is working over time to excuse his “antics” and defuse criticism.

I knew who Busch was because he was just listed at #1 on Foolish Bailey's "Top 10 prospects older than Juan Soto" video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hywpQZSeXY8

The Yankees apparently offered Snell a contract but it was not close to what he wants https://twitter.com/mlbtraderumors/status/1745596869743444383?s=20

The vibe I get is that Stroman is close to done but they just have had opening talks with Snell. My guess is they’ll sign Stroman and try and use that as leverage to get Snell to panic and take a lower deal. Maybe something like the Imanaga deal with opt outs and stuff.

My guess is they’ll sign Stroman and try and use that as leverage to get Snell to panic and take a lower deal. Maybe something like the Imanaga deal with opt outs and stuff. Stroman was elite for like 100 innings last year, as in legit competing for the Cy elite, but then he hurt his rib somehow and just absolutely fell apart. If he can actually stay healthy there's no reason to think he'll be cooked or anything close. I am curious to see what kind of deal he's sniffing for after turning down what was effectively a 1/21 contract to stick with Chicago. Normally I'd say there's no way he'll get up to that AAV in the market given how badly he imploded in the second half but the market has also been juiced as hell for arms so who knows.

I think it’s a very stupid bit of GM back room dealing. I refuse to believe the Dodgers scouted and signed an international guy and then changed their mind on him a month later before they’d have any chance to really work on him or evaluate him in their system. That’s what desperate FO’s do without a coherent plan, and the Alvarez deal happened several years into Friedman’s tenure. It’s still a bad look because why are you cutting dumbass back room deals like that in the first place? But I think it’s more likely that they basically didn’t scout the guy at all than that they scouted him, decided they liked him, signed him, then changed their mind a month later.

I'm in shock that the Yankees just signed Luke Weaver to a 1 year/$2m deal. I didn't think a 1/2 deal was even possible these days. It's practically a minor-league deal!

Seems like he's trying to absolve them of trading Yordan for nothing by saying they made an underhanded deal to trade him for nothing, it's weird e: the simplest explanation is the one they gave: they needed a hard throwing bullpen arm, they had a young player who had yet to show any kind of power and was years away from being able to contribute to what was already a WS contender, they made the deal Intruder fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Jan 12, 2024 |

The Dodgers are not that scatterbrained, but they certainly are shady enough to agree to sign a guy with extra IFA money to do another GM a solid and expect some later tit-for-tat.

Yeah as someone who doesn't care about either team involved it seems pretty transparent that is what happened. Well I don't know if they signed a guy on June 15 planning that far in advance to include him in a deadline deal with Houston specifically 6 weeks later. But it seems obvious that rather than just lose the rest of their international pool for the year when there weren't any more international prospects they were super sweet on, they just signed a decent looking prospect other teams wanted for the purpose of trading him.

The Yankees used to not sign assholes on purpose. They have no coherent plan or anything like that. They are just throwing darts against the wall and hope it works out. Cashman didn't just become a good GM magically by trading for Soto.

So there's that https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/1745624998851514446?s=20 Also seeing "two years with an option for a third." Interested to see what type of option, and how much.
