Offseason Rumors and Deals Around MLB

Podesta played both Baseball and Football at Harvard.

He's far from ignorant about the game.

He worked for the Baltimore Stallions before taking a job with the Indians

That is awesome. I'm the only person alive who preferred to have a CFL team in Baltimore instead of the Ravens.

It is my personal belief the Browns were allowed back into the NFL chiefly to serve as a football version of antidepressant medication. Think about it, no matter how bad things get for every other NFL fanbase, at least they can cling on to the fact that........ "at least we are not the Browns".

I think a lot of people would agree with you

I'm sure that there were actually a lot of people in Ohio that felt that way.

Cleveland took the compromise approach. They elected to have a CFL team that plays in the NFL

The Brewers have agreed to a one-year, $2.5MM contract with slugging first baseman Chris Carter, reports Kristie Rieken of the Associated Press (Twitter link). Carter’s contract also contains incentives that can boost the value of his deal.

Carter hit .199 last year and struck out a third of the time. I think 1/5 or 2/8 could land Alvarez. I don't think he will sign before February.

Boras has other business to attend to first.

Offensively, Chris Carter is fairly similar to Mark Trumbo ain't he?

$2.5M. Not bad.

I keep hearing that Upton really wants to play here. His friendship with Jones, coming from Norfolk, hitting in OPACY.

Makes sense to me. Coupled with the market climate and draft pick, could translate to a very reasonable contract.

Very, very similar to Chris Davis circa 2014.
