After the all-star break he had a 2.48 ERA
 

29 IP, 26 H, 9 walks, 26 strikeouts 

You consider that dominant?  

I consider it a back end reliever. If you want to quibble on my word choice I will give you the win here.

Jordan Hicks to the Giants for 4 years and $44 Million.

Giants turned Gausman dominant, wonder if they can do the same for Hicks.

Another loss for the Jays and the AL East. Just keeping track of the talent added/lost. 

It doesn’t look like Montgomery and NYY want each other. Gotta hope he doesn’t go to BOS or TOR.

TOR in on Snell. 

Snell, Montgomery, Hader, Neris, Stephenson, and Chapman, are the only remaining FAs that would bother me if they went to an AL East team.

Except if they went to the Orioles.

Adding another reliever makes sense if Wells is in the rotation. Some realistic fits are,

Robertson, Ottavino, and Brasier. 

Fuji on a milb deal. 

Would Chapman take a one year deal here?  Would we want him around our clubhouse?

I definitely like Fuji on a minor league deal with a spring training invite. He has raw talent and hopefully our coaches could harness it.

Mariners sign Joey Krehbiel to a minor league deal.

Joey had his moments, but he was awfully lucky.

Blue Jays get SP/RP? Yariel Rodriguez for 4/32, which seems ballpark similar to Reynaldo Lopez/Jordan Hicks, and perhaps one day Tyler Wells/DL Hall.

Can anyone see us signing Ryu and having to suffer through a full season of Kevin Brown making witty Shoryuken remarks?

I can. This is my nightmare.

These are the same guys that said this would be a fast moving pace free agency year.  I would say it is moving at a snails pace but I don’t want to offend snails.  Almost half of the top 25 free agents are still unsigned and 21 of top 50.  They are right though sooner or later it will have to pick up or they will be missing spring training.

I bet a lot of these guys prefer to miss some spring training.
