1 year, $8 million. I'm a little annoyed at this one. I had figured Hill was going to a contender so didn't seriously say he was a guy the Nats should target. He's projected to be in the Pirates rotation, which maybe the Nats could not offer after signing Williams, but I would feel a lot better about the Nats pitching if you could pencil him in for 120 quality innings that he's been doing the past 7 or 8 seasons. About the only way he would not have helped is if the Nats are confident that they will have 5 of Gore /Cavalli / Gray / Corbin / Williams / Stras healthy and ready to start from April-September. Also, that's an easy to flip contract.

There isnt much difference between Hill and Williams

I think you have to project a lot of regression for Hill due to his age and assume that Williams can upgrade his performance as a starter to what he has done as a reliever the past couple of years in order to say that.

There's nothing wrong with the Williams signing, btw. It's more that I think they need more innings to be respectable. I am in the Williams AND another starter camp.

Hosmer to the Cubs who will pay him league minimum. The Padres still owe him $38 million.

11 years, $331 million.

Devers’ megadeal is still not finalized, but the expectation is that both the Red Sox and Devers will sign a contract that will keep Devers in the heart of Boston’s lineup through the 2034 season.

Devers’ new deal — which will see him earn $30.09 million per season once the contract kicks in during the 2024 campaign — stands as the sixth-largest in MLB history in terms of total value.

The arb year is included, so that makes it 10 years, 313 million.

Gotta say, the last deal we offered Soto is looking closer and closer to "fair" than "insulting." It was definitely worthy of a counter offer

The bigger issue was deferred money. We will never know how much was deferred.

The thing about the Soto deal is it was a no-lose situation for us. We wouldn't of been ready to compete with him for two years anyway. He wouldn't of signed an extension before he was a free agent. So when he is a free agent we can bid just like everybody else just like if he had stayed with us. Hopefully we'll have a new owner and we'll be able to go after him and he'll be the player we need to go with our young players that puts us back into contention.

the timing would work out well if we're ready to compete heading into 2025.

I thought it was reported there was no deferred money in the offer?

Orioles trade for Ryan O'Hearn and then DFA him.

MLBTR says that Correa is talking to at least one other team. Well, that would solve our 3B issues for a while.

'Hi, we are sending you a package of Corbin, Candelario, and 200lbs of Fentanyl laced chewing gum. Would you please send Trout in return? Chew some gum and think on it.'

That would be some sweet action to take a flyer on him.

It would, but Rizzo would never do it.

I'd be sorely tempted if I were Philly. And I would pay good money to watch the streams of his starts with on-field/in-stands audio

Quote

Over the past few days, the Mets have grown “very frustrated” with Carlos Correa negotiations, in the words of one source with direct knowledge of the team’s thinking, and are now considering walking away altogether.

Correa-to-Mets is not dead. In fact, the source said that in the end, they still believed the sides stood a strong chance of reaching an agreement. But the deal is clearly at an inflection point, and for the first time the team is seriously questioning whether it wants to proceed.
