A primer for free agency, barring some CBA bullshit, it's going to be an absolutely loaded class. Fun!

The top 25 free agents this offseason
This will be a fascinating winter in the baseball business world, as the expiration of the Collective Bargaining Agreement just so happens to coincide with one of the deepest and most talented free agent classes in years. It is anybody’s guess as to how this will all play out --

Makes me sad to say it, but I would rather the Dodgers pay Scherzer than Kershaw at this point. Kinda crazy since Scherzer is actually a few years older. I would be really bummed if they don't manage to hang onto Seager as well.

I don't have the link on hand, but the Reds' GM as already said they're lowering the amount they're spending... Sucks for Cinci fans.
Edit: Japan is posting it's best player. Dude projects to be a 27 yr old, middle of the order bat, with "above-average" to "good" corner outfield defense. Seiya Suzuki.

Yep. In some ways I get it. The rookie call ups this season look like cornerstones. But there's a serious hole in RF with the Castellanos departure and the bullpen needs help. And we need a backup plan for 3B because I have no fucking clue what happened to Suarez.
