Off-season roster moves 2021-22 (Non-Nats)

[Natsinpwc]

so, laureano is next, I guess.

FWIW, Bosox are supposed to be in on Freeman.  That would make Dalbec available, but more significantly, that looks like it blocks Casas (or locks in a post-JD time split at 1st and DH).

Dodgers.  SAWX. Jays (he’s a Canadian). Rays. Last seems unlikely.

Manaea.  Interesting to see what they get for a reasonably cheap 30-year-old mid-rotation guy who will be FA next winter.   But there's no way the A's want to pay him $10 million after this fire sale.

Schwarber to the Phillies

Manae and Montas would be my bets

[Kevrock]

The Nats really screwed up with KLong

Yeah, Montas too.  He's just paid less and has one additional year of control so not as urgent for them to dump.  I can't imagine them keeping either, though.

Matt Chapman to the Blue Jays

he would have been a nice fit for us

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Seiya Suzuki to the Cubs.  5 years, $85 million. With posting fee payment to his old team, total cost is a shade under $100 million

#Phillies deal with Kyle Schwarber, pending physical, is a 4-year agreement with an AAV just under $20 million per year, sources tell The Athletic.

I wouldn't have minded him back, but 4 years at 20 seems too much of a gamble.

maybe not so much now that the NL has the DH.

That was the deal Dan Szymborski projected for him.

Hoglund is their #4 prospect (19th overall pick in 2021), Smith is #9, Logue is 27. Not a huge return it seems.

for comparison, that a 45 FV pitcher on Fangraphs with an MLB ETA of 2024, a 40 middle infielder who has reached MLB, a 40 SP who is nearly 26 and in AAA, and a 35+ MLB single inning reliever (27 year old).  #3, #16, #10, and #26 again per FG. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/toronto-blue-jays-top-37-prospects-2022/

For comparison, for the Nats, that'd roughly be perhaps Lara, maybe Luis Garcia or possibly Cluff (who is not MLB ready), a high floor, low ceiling SP on the roster or AAA, and maybe Seth Romero?

FG rates pitchers (particularly young ones) really low.

I think it's a bargain or just in line with his value. And reuniting him with KLong in that tiny park. Yikes.

then that means Hoaglund could be really special b/c he's 22.

Greinke to the Royals.  1 year/$13 million plus up to $2 million in incentives.

that's a lot.  They could keep him to retire as a Royal, or wheel him if he's ok with it and is pitching well.

[Slateman]

Freeman to the Dodgers. 7 years, 220 million

[zimm_da_kid]

Bryant to Rockies 7/$182

Bryant must be a Moron

Why?  He apparently lives there and loves it.  He will hit great in that park.

He was a first round pick out of high school, then again out of college (and was even in the top 2 or 3 conversation until he needed TJ). 

It still seems like Oakland should have gotten more for Chapman, but I guess a lot of teams thought the offensive trend line was ugly.  It is, but he had a hip injury and those take a long time to get right.

The Rockies are literally the worst run organization in baseball.  By a mile.
