Offseason Rumors and Deals Around MLB

Olmos has no options. I'd rather try and DFA him and sign this guy. At least Olson as options.

As for trading Cruz, I don't think we're at the point yet where to make another trade for a MOO type bat. That's gotta wait till we see if Davis signs. Right now we should be in on trying to get a LH OF with a good OBP. We drafted Rickard in the Rule 5. He could be 1/2 of a platoon. Kim would work. Kelly Johnson, Nava, De Aza, DeJesus, Span, Murphy, Joyce, Venable, Parra could all work.

I'd like to see Kim and Venable/De Aza signed. Then Nava or Joyce on a milb deal with a ST invite.

That's what you'd like to see us sign? Venable and/or De Aza??? I don't see how we as fans are so quick to settle for mediocrity. That would be awful! Come on...

I like Venable MSK Rulz. I think he would be a value. I don't think he would be considered a big signing.

I don't know, weams, Venable looks like he may be done. I had interest in him 3 years ago, but he has looked worse and worse over the last two years. Was terrible for Texas at the end of last year, and that has nothing to do with Petco.

Sorry for sounding aggressive but I used to like Venable as well but his numbers have really seen a sharp decline and would really be a 5th OF type IMO and we already have a few of those.

A net gain of 100lbs from rookie season to 2015 (from comparing his baseball cards with what's listed on Baseball Reference).

Yep. Welcome to the land of Cuddyer, Wright and the Upton brothers.

Maybe Mark Reynolds can tell him about his time in Baltimore. Hopefully he enjoyed it.

But once they reached high school, they were joined together on the Tidewater Mets. B.J. played shortstop. Wright was at third base, and Zimmerman shared time at second base with Mark Reynolds, who played with Justin Upton in Arizona and now serves as the Indians' designated hitter.

Yadier Molina Ligament surgery did not take. They have to completely redo it.

If he doesn't play... Cardinals are finally looking like a third place team. They will have problems scoring runs with their current lineup and Molina makes a difference with that pitching staff.

    • Smith and Bowman signed Milb contacts, stop period. which means if they not have 6 years MLB service they make minor league money if they are in the minors. Albert signed a one guarenteed contract, 740k. Itwas A Milb contract to keep him off the 40. Even if he got DFA or never pitched one inning of MLB he still makes the 740k. He was good enough to demand this contract and get it. Smith and Bowman were not.
    • Just because you sign as a free agent doesn’t mean you aren’t subject to the rules around 6 years of service time. For instance, I don’t believe Burch Smith or Matt Bowman can elect free agency unless they are outrighted, released, or non-tendered. However, there are examples of foreign professionals being eligible to elect free agency early - for example Shintaro Fujinama last year.  It’s not part of the CBA, but presumably the commissioner will approve that special covenant as part of an FA deal if the player has at least 6 years of experience in foreign league.  It’s possible they would let Suarez combine his 1 year MLB service time (prior to this season) with his 3 years in NPB and 2 years in KBO.  And it’s possible they let Suarez write these terms into an MILB contract that had split MLB terms.  It wouldn’t have been my starting assumption, but it seems plausible.
    • Here I am checking in. We and our condo on the east side of Asheville made it through unscathed. On Tuesday we flew into DC and moved into a hotel in Falls Church. Our son, Eric, ordered us to make that trip and made all the arrangements because we had no internet and limited cell service. We expected to stay a week while electricity is restored and then we learned about the dire water situation. We are moving in with Eric and his family who have been supporting us in every way possible, anticipating needs and things that would help us. Our daughter, Robyn, and her husband, Ken live about 30 miles west of Asheville , Waynesville, had no damage, never lost power or water. Today they rescued my car from $30 a day hourly parking, threw out everything that was beginning to make the condo stink and tied up  a few ends we left loose when we left Dodge in a hurry. They are, collectively, the loving, supportive family everyone should want and have .
    • You should really try to read. It will make you less slow.
    • Just pointing out that not everyone wanted Adley extended last year. 
    • Hopefully he will spend money to keep guys long term.    This was a puff piece. 
    • At least Joe Jackson seemed to be a decent human.
