Brewers non tender Brandon Woodruff Someone is going to stash him on a 2 year deal Someone in NY. And probably longer, if I had to guess. He has such an issue staying healthy, but if you're shopping for discount pitching he's got high upside.

He has such an issue staying healthy, but if you're shopping for discount pitching he's got high upside. I assume he settles on a 2 year deal to hit the market but I could Yankees or Mets spending on him Could easily get him 2/$25-$30M and still come out on a bargain if he performs in 2025 Honestly wouldn't be surprised to see Tampa put a bid in since they probably deal Glagsnow this offseason

It would be a match made in heaven.

One team is eliminated from the Shohei sweepstakes, Mariners
It isn't in their "realistic agenda"

One team is eliminated from the Shohei sweepstakes, Mariners It isn't in their "realistic agenda" Really need Ohtani to sign somewhere soon. Seems like he’s holding up the entire market since big market teams likely aren’t going to move on to other FA’s until they know he’s not available anymore. Yamamoto will be posted next week apparently so that’s another one that’s likely holding up the market.

The early word is he was going to sign by Xmas which is still late as f*** as it should not take two months for FA to start before someone significant signs MLB has to do better with their offseason. There are no hot rumors, no nothing to even talk about

There are no hot rumors, no nothing to even talk about Agreed. It’s been 3 weeks since the World Series ended and there has been no significant free agent signing or trade yet. Just some minor stuff here and there. Unfortunately I don’t think there is a way to fix this with the current system. I feel like once Ohtani is signed, that’s when the flood gates will open up, but if that’s going to take another month, then yeah that’s not a good look.

I feel like there's been at least some interesting crumbs, like whatever the hell the Braves are doing. None of their deals have made much sense except if you presume they're signing like half a team out there

This is really the one place where the players have leverage and I don't blame them for using it cause they not going f*** up a pay day by dictating the market tho the owners can push the issue as seen a couple years ago when they colluded on deals for a few years. With no salary cap or floor, teams aren't in a rush to spend money

I wonder, would the NHL put a team in Oakland? And to piggyback, yeah this sucks considering the history of the A's who had some all time greats and all time great personalities like Reggie Jackson, Rollie Fingers, Rickey Henderson, Tony LaRussa, Catfish Hunter, the Bash Brothers & Dennis Eckersley to name a few. Doubtful: while San Jose is at the bottom of the Bay Area, the Sharks are still considered the team for that market in hockey. The 1960s club the Golden Seals played in Oakland for awhile, but that was back in the day. And if the NHL added a second team to the Bay Area it'd almost certainly be the more lucrative San Francisco in that new arena they built for the Warriors.

For the record, other teams offered MORE money for his services, Nola turned them down. He can be, but he is what they needed to sure up their top half of the rotation, there really isn't a ton that was going to be available and him going to the Braves would have been a DISASTER They're apparently still going to be aggressive in pursuing Yamamato, so the deal hasn't broken their cap ceiling.

Huh, I never knew there was never a year, until this year, where both the NL & AL MVPs were unanimous.

ummmm, I assume they are popping up in all the markets but still, driving home from work and seeing different Ohtani billboards about his MVP award win by O'Hare airport is making me all "HES 100% COMING TO THE CUBS!" right now.

Leaking things when Shohei’s people have been like “Don’t leak things, we’ll hold it against you” is certainly a strategy.
