How does that make any sense for the Braves? It is one thing to not sign your star franchise guy to a bad contract, but then to instead plunder your entire farm system for a cheap knock off? But, why?

Cheaper on the short term, younger comparable player over the next 5-8 years. They have their core locked up long term and Olson slides in with the youth.

If the reds don’t trade Votto to a contender they need to be relegated to AAA. Come on, how can you sell so hard and leave him to finish his career that way.

Every Reds fan agrees. He deserves it. It's not like he's too old to contribute. Dude is still a great player even at his age.

that's actually shorter and cheaper than I'd have expected. i still think paying more for the older freeman and keeping all those good prospects might have been better, but that's about as good a "mega" contract is going to be for a team.

Blue Jays pick up Matt Chapman from Oakland without giving up their top pitching prospects. Blue Jays are looking really good this year, I would go so far as to say the strongest team in the AL East.

A's continue purge, trade Chapman to Blue Jays

Sorry for any A's fans here, hope you get a new owner soon.

A "WTF" signing if there ever was one.


Fernando Tatis Jr. Out Three Months With Fractured Wrist ;(


Busy day today. Correa, Story still left available and tons of trade options.

Word here locally is that Correa 7 year deal with the Astros with a player opt out every year.

We will see.

Wow. Correa didn't get the contract he wanted, now he takes maximum flexibility and high AAV short-term. I could see the Astros not being interested in that, knowing they weren't going to give him $300m anyway.

Curious where this takes Story: Do the Astros sign Story? Rumors tonight, Story might seek a shorter term deal and a different position with the Texas Rangers... Which would be insane if the Rangers signed 3 of the Top 4 SS this Free Agency, lol.

Yankees suck up that fat $50mm salary for 36 year old Donaldson. Twins now free to sign CC on a short term low risk deal.

poor yanks lol

Apparently the Yankees might be in on Story now? What's the point of adding IKF? Already an overload of INFs already, maybe they plan on trading Gleyber Torres for an arm?

Very confused. Maybe Torres for Montas from the A's, or Torres and more for Castillo from the Reds? Weird rumblings.

This is a dumb contract for the Twins. They're not winning anything this year, so one of three things happens:

- He plays like shit and the Twins have to keep him around because years 2 and 3 are a player option.
- He plays really well and Boras has him opt out and get a big payday
- He plays up to about the level of his contract and sticks around for years 2 and 3 (Boras still probably has him opt out after the first year)
