Interesting maybe there will be a big trade before a star position player free agent signs a contract.

Guess it's the classic "calm before the storm."  Very, very calm.

We probably could get Lyles for half of what he was signed for now.

We will still only pay half when he’s in the running for Cy Young award at the break. A contender will pay the other half. (Chess not checkers)

Things should start falling into place very, very soon. Pitchers in particular know getting late starts hurt them. I cold see a lot of one-year deals in order for them to become a free agent next year in a full offseason.

Passan reporting Rodon to Giants 2/44 and an opt-out after Year 1.

Good this should get the ball rolling.

Interesting deal there.  Big money but if healthy, he will be worth it.  It’s a big gamble but only for 2 years.

That's a steal for the Giants.

With the way Giants can coach up pitching, that could be a really good deal for them.

He has to be healthy for it to be a steal.  
 

It’s a very good gamble by them.

Kershaw to the Dodgers on a 1 year deal.  

Not that we had a chance to get him, but glad to see he goes back to LAD.  Would be weird to see him in anything else.
