Giants and Pirates talking Andrew McCutchen That would be a bad move IMO. Also, I find it hilarious that the division rivals are hitting the Marlins up about Yelich. He's a stud and they've both got good farm systems, but I'm sure the last thing any remaining Marlins fans want to see is him tearing up for good division rivals.

Marlins are charging a ransom to trade in the division. They want Robles from Nats plus others while they would want the Braves top prospect and a few other players Also yeah I don't see Cutch profiling well in SF playing Center Field. Cutch wouldn't cost them much as opposed to Hamilton

McCutchen is surprisingly young for a guy who looks past his prime.

McCutchen is surprisingly young for a guy who looks past his prime. Cutch still has some good years left but yeah his prime MVP seasons are done and he needs to be moved permanently to the corner Marlins aren't to fleece Braves or Nats. They better off just waiting and hoping someone gives up a good haul as the Yankees and White Sox have set the standards high for getting back players. At best, they can move one player, probably J.T. and be able get rid of a big contract to get some B level prospects back

I don't want McCutchen. Another ho-hum move for a declining name who's better than nothing, but won't help the team even get to .500.

The big news this offseason about Mike Trout, is that he blew up Jim Cantore's phone about this storm, since he loves weather so much. Dude's going to become a weatherman when he retires.

However, I don’t like Cutch in CF and they still have Pence there as well. Still think they need to make that Hamilton trade happen.

Dodgers apparently interested in Yelich. Doubt it happens but if it does Joc is out I think.

In the end, I think he ends up a Marlin on opening day. Dodgers wouldn't give up Buehler or Urias, so I don't think Miami would bite. He's their last real good player and they've taken nothing but huge PR hits all off-season. They need to get a serious Rocky Maivia blue chipper for him, and it seems like that's the way they're approaching it. The Cards are interested, but don't have a big need in the OF. SF would love him, but have no prospects. Braves and Nats want him, but they're in-division. Yanks have mad prospects, but their OF is pretty set and Bryce looming possibly. Cubs swoop in maybe? Not a lot of AL teams have good farms vs. NL.

Not a lot of AL teams have good farms vs. NL. I don't see the Cards going after Yelich hard unless they really going to trade off Pham or Fowler and I don't see that happening because the Marlins are not going to take on Fowlers contract and I don't see Pham moving after last season's performce. There OF is set with Ozuna, Pham, and Fowler, and currently have Grichick as the forth and plenty others in system to play the backup guy. If they are still worried about position players they need to look at 3rd and 1st, those are the spots you could upgrade on a defense level and maybe hitters. Really there biggest focus needs to figure out the closer and get another starter (They are not going to sell me that the current rotation and options are good enough for playoffs and a deep run.). Not another OFer. They been linked to Arrieta too which I'm not sure if I want him over the other options unless they are because Rays are not really interested in moving Archer who been thrown a lot over the off season.

I agree. We've been linked to Yelich even after the Ozuna deal, but it doesn't make any sense. We're set in the OF. There's like a 2% chance we move Pham seperately (who has more value in a deal than Fowler) and package prospects to do the deal. But I really can't see it. I think the Cubs are the favorite to nab him and ultimately I don't think he gets dealt this off-season.

Something’s gotta give pretty soon, right? I would assume that's the case but we been saying that since Stanton and Ohtani got off the board Idk if it's players or teams just dragging shit but nothing is really getting done and it seems people are just talking in circles. J.D> Martinez has had a contract from the Red Sox for a while, same with Eric Hosmer apparently and Darvish/Arrieta are sort of stuck in a stalemate of who get's the most years and most money The longer these things play out, the more likely someone gets snatched up for a good price. Yankees have been trying to get another start all offseason (tho they need an infielder or two) and I wouldn't be surprised if they snatched up Darvish for 4/5 years at $25 mill a piece assuming they can trade Ellsbury Same with Arrieta ending up with someone like the Brewers who could potentially go for it a year earlier than planned assuming they get another bat like Lorenzo Cain. Angels aren't shy about spending money either and could have one of the pitchers fall in their lap.

I'm looking at my team the Cardinals and it's crazy with all the different players and teams they where linked too, that no movement as been made since the Winter meetings and nothing seem to gotten any closer that they where from the original link and all gone cold. I feel like the agents of the top free agents are waiting out to getting what they expected and the teams are not really moving on it. They got offers but I feel like there not as big as they wanted and are waiting in hopes someone jumps in and makes the offer.

Martinez, Eric Hosmer, and Mike Moustakas are all Scott Boras clients who likes to wait late and sign I think someone like Arietta can work for the Cardinals depending on the price

The Cardinals where linked to him and Colome and the team only spends when they have too history say. I'm sure if Archer was a option they take him because of his club friendly deal. Than again if they wanted Arietta they should be in for Darvish as well. But for me I think if Archer was an option they go for it in a package deal with Colome and give up whatever, I'm sure they have enough prospects to make it happen and Archer is locked in for several years. Than take the money and sign Hosmer who they been linked too and I think the team will look really good.
