Is there a team in baseball not named Dodgers that wouldn't say that about their projected #5 starter?

Honestly not even sure who their #5 is right now. Buehler, Ohtani, and Kershaw will start the year on the IL (or in Ohtani’s case, will DH only). I think they’d sign Montgomery too. Glasnow is likely to be sidelined at least part of the season because he always is. 
 

I’d definitely trade Kremer if we could get a good return for him and sign Montgomery, but bullpen is definitely a more pressing need.

FA signings mean a more active waiver wire market. We have an open spot with being able to put Bautista on the 60 day IL. One name that is interesting…

OF Simon Muzziotti L/L Phillies - currently in DFA limbo

Currently ranked as the Phillies #8 prospect by mlb pipeline https://www.mlb.com/prospects/2023/phillies/

He’s LH. Can play CF and all three OF spots. Has an option for 2024. More speed than pop. 

He’d give us some AAA depth behind McKenna/Hilliard that both are out of options. This would be similar thinking as to claiming Soto. AAA depth. Some prospect ceiling. Maybe we can sprinkle some Orange Oriole prospect dust on him. Try and tap into his power. 7 HR, 26 steals last season. 

Tell me you don't have a good farm system w/o telling me you don't have a good farm system.  This guy sounds like McKenna lite.

You don’t see how it’s important to have a guy like McKenna on your 40 man roster? Also, are you saying the O’s don’t have a good farm system?

I think he was talking about the Phillies’ farm system.

1. How many of those teams are spending less than $100M on their payroll? 

2. The goal is to be better than the other teams in baseball.

I have been suggesting this all off season because the free agent period just lasts to long and drags out.  I know it won’t happen but since the players won’t sign off on a deadline how about all teams just make their own.   What would players do if all the owners just stopped signing guys after a set deadline forcing the players hands.

I'm guessing another round of this.

No, I'm saying the Phillies system can't be very good if a backup OF is their #8 prospect.

Red Sox sell some 2024 wins to the Royals, giving up John Schreiber for a $400K college arm with a good A-ball season.

Interesting action by Craig Breslow and J.J. Picollo on 2024 tournament aspirations.    Picollo's next conversation with Bobby Witt will perhaps be more upbeat than Breslow's next one with Rafael Devers.

Feels clear here the Red Sox are peacing out on 2024 as they prepare for the coming Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, Kyle Teel rosters.

      If a team that loses a qualifying free agent does not receive revenue sharing and did exceed the luxury-tax salary threshold the previous season, it is awarded a compensatory pick after the fourth round. San Diego Padres Compensation for Josh Hader. The Astros forfeited their second-round pick for signing Hader. San Diego Padres Compensation for Blake Snell. The Giants forfeited their third-round pick for signing Snell. Toronto Blue Jays Compensation for Matt Chapman. The Giants forfeited their second-round pick for signing Chapman.

      If a team that loses a qualifying free agent does not receive revenue sharing and did not exceed the luxury-tax salary threshold the previous season, it is awarded a compensatory pick after Competitive Balance Round B.   Los Angeles Angels Compensation for Shohei Ohtani. The Dodgers forfeited their second- and fifth-round picks for signing Ohtani.

      picks If a team that loses a qualifying free agent is a revenue-sharing recipient and the free agent signs for at least $50 million, the team will be awarded a pick between the first round and Competitive Balance Round A.   Minnesota Twins Compensation for Sonny Gray. The Cardinals forfeited their second-round pick for signing Gray.

      The answer appears to be, yes, you can receive more than one compensation picks. Angels -- Shohei Ohtani: Pick after Competitive Balance Round B Blue Jays -- Matt Chapman: Pick after Round 4 Cubs -- Cody Bellinger: Pick after Competitive Balance Round B Padres -- Blake Snell: Pick after Round 4 Padres -- Josh Hader: Pick after Round 4

      the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.

      I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.

      It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
