Yikes. Good for Kinsler; bad for Padres.

not sure you can teach guys how to strike out less https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2018/12/13/tigers-take-first-steps-toward-retooling-approach-developing-hitters/2299853002/

Baltimore ends up with both R Martin and D Jackson. God what an awful team. Those 2 may be the most impactful additions they make.

baseballamerica Reed Garrett, RHP, Rangers Garrett took a nice step forward in 2018 as improved control paid off in excellent results as he both threw more strikes and did a better job of keeping the ball in the ballpark. Garrett now has more than 200 innings of Double-A/Triple-A experience with a mid-90s fastball and a hard slider.

Justin Bour to Angels to be the 3rd string DH.

they were one of the best shifting teams last year.

EVERYTHING MUST GO AT CRAZY AL'S FIRE SALE (WHICH IS NOT DRIVEN IN ANY WAY BY PAYROLL) A's Interested In Blaine Hardy https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/12/trade-rumors-cubs-hardy-holt-yankees.html

If the Braves are dangling Swanson, I would think they could get more than one year of Nick Castellanos

The White Sox, laser focused on 2nd place, obviously are concerned about the Tigers' addition of Ross Moore

There's an entire thread on this already, but Nick was the 29th best hitter in 2018 by wOBA, 27th best by OPS, 26th best by wRC+, and 25th best by OPS+. On a team with a smaller outfield or a DH vacancy, or both, he would be very valuable. I think we are going to be pleasantly surprised by what AA can get for him.

adding Chris Herrmann AND Bobby Wilson? I don't believe it; too good to be true.

Does Moore or Ross start the Wild Card Game?

Dodgers need to counter by signing Harper

Who could have predicted that a life long grifter would turn out to be a grifter?
