Trumbo is a similar situation to the Cruz one. Made a substantial offer. May not be enough to resign him. Mancini is a good fall back. 

[weams]

Not a simple equation. Made an offer. Has not led to a deal. Will get a pick if he signs elsewhere. Wants to improve outfield defense. 

[weams]

Davis could play right. Not really under strong consideration.

[weams]

Scott Boras questions get the belly laugh. Chance Sisco is fab. Probably not ready to start the season. Takes catchers a while to mature. 

[weams]

We are not talking actively with Manny Machado about a long term deal.

[weams]

He has the skills that get people a lot of money.

When he said "substantial offer," is that on top of the QO?

[weams]

The money is going to go to players, where it should go.  Hard cap evens the playing field.

Zach Britton is the best pitcher in the American league. He as perfect. There is a lot of interest in Zach Britton. You saw what the Yankees got back for Chapman and Miller. 

 

Dan says he prefers him on the Orioles.
