The Padres might be the only team in baseball to give up such an absurd package for Sonny Gray.
2.) 05 Dec 2018 21:01:45
I would doubt the Padres would give that up. Nix would instantly be around the 5th/ 6th best prospect in their system. I would imagine Gray would be more so far something like Torrens and a guy like Avila.

I think its too long and too much for McCutchen. I also don't think they will go after an OF that requires more than a one year contract to avoid blocking Tucker.
2.) 29 Nov 2018 17:53:55
1, I can't see the Astros adding $50 million in payroll (before arbitration) .
2, it would take more than that to acquire Perez.
3, I don't see them signing an OF beyond 1 year thus blocking Tucker who should be ready this season. I do like the Ross signing, but i think Kuechel winds up elsewhere next season due to his price.
3.) 29 Nov 2018 18:27:10
If it costs that much to get Salvador Perez, it's probably best to start the season with Max Stassi.
Perez is a serious buyer's beware type catcher who has gotten worse in almost every season. At 89 wRC+ last season and only 1.7 fWAR, I'm not sure any teams are willing to overspend for his future.

That’s $87 million in additional payroll for the A’s just in 2019. I highly doubt the A’s spend that much and have a $140 million+ payroll when they’ve never surpassed $100 million.
Also Happ will get more than that, and those are generous numbers for Familia ($15 million set up man? )
I could see most of those deals happen, just not all of them.

Yankees Offseason Review:
Yankees-Giants (Read Note #1)
Yankees trade:
- SP Sonny Gray
- SP Chance Adams
- SP Erik Swanson
Giants trade:
- 2B Joe Panik
- RP Hunter Strickland
Yankees-Cardinals (See Note #2)
Yankees trade:
- 3B Miguel Andujar
- 2B/SS Tyler Wade
Cardinals trade:
- SP Jack Flaherty
- RP Mike Mayers
Yankees-Marlins (See Note #3)
Yankees trade:
- SP/RP Luis Cessa
Marlins trade:
- Cash considerations
Note 1: It's been stated by Brian Cashman himself that Sonny Gray will be traded this offseason. There will be plenty of suitors for Gray, but I think the Giants make sense here. Buying low on Sonny Gray, without parting with any major prospects would be a plus. The Giants get a solid starting pitcher with some upside left and also acquire 2 young starting pitching prospects. The Yankees address their infield issue by acquiring Panik and ease the pain of losing Robertson in FA by acquiring Strickland.
Note 2: The Cardinals need an upgrade at 3rd, and with Gorman being far from contributing from the majors, the team is in need of a 3rd baseman. While not a good defender, Miguel Andujar's bat makes up for his lack of defense. The Yankees, meanwhile, acquire a young starting pitcher with tremendous upside in Jack Flaherty. Tyler Wade is in the deal because he offers defense and versatility, while also not being eligible for arbitration for a couple seasons. Mike Mayers is a solid bullpen piece for the Yankees as they add to their already elite bullpen.
Note 3: The Yankees get rid of Luis Cessa, who has no more minor league options. The Marlins acquire a young arm that needs a change of scenery. They can put Cessa in their rotation, or at the very least in their bullpen.

3B/SS Manny Machado - 8 years, $295M (opt out clause after 3rd season)
SP Patrick Corbin - 5 years, $95M

A few things to consider on Panik:
1. He's projected at half the cost of Gray. So the Giants are taking on twice the cost for a project piece.
2. Adding in three years of Strickland (coming off a season with an injury) is worth way, way more than Chance Adams. I've stated numerous times that I bet Adams is DFA'd in the next year or so. He's just not good, at all. I don't know why Zaidi would give up an extremely valuable asset for a horrible one.
2.) 15 Nov 2018 07:14:19
And can we agree that Tyler Wade is nothing more than an add in. Once he reaches arbitration, he won’t be tendered a contract by anyone. He’s not good at baseball.
