2016-2017 Offseason Thread

Winter meetings start Monday

Best time of the off season

With the weak FA market there should be a lot of trades this week

Looks like 3/48 for rich hill/dodgers
I like it

I dont understand why the Braves are trying to trade for Chris Sale. The White Sox asking price is going to be enormous and they arent even close to contending.

Yankees sign Matt Holiday

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

So who is about to throw that cash at Bryce Harper lol.

NATIONAL PARK, Md. - The Indians are negotiation with free agent slugger Edwin Encarnacion about a multiyear deal.
The deal might not happen. It might fall apart in the days to come, but right now things are serious.

Surprised that they'd actually cough up the money that it would take to get him.

Sale to the Nationals is becoming more and more likely

Sox acquire Thornburg.
 
And now we are duelling it out with the Nationals for Sale.

Yea seens like the sox are pushing hard for sale

 

[Giantmetfan07]

I hope the nationals miss out on both sale and mccutchen.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

im hoping the package is centred around jbj and devers.

Dodgers interested in todd frazier

Which is funny cause they could have had him last off season.

They traded 3 guys to cincy(peraza being one)
Frazier went to Chicago
3 Chicago guys went to LA (one being trayce Thompson and another traded for reddick/hill)

The White Sox are such a poorly run franchise. They spent all that money just to never compete and blow it all up within 3 or 4 years.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Strong buzz for moreland to Red Sox. Would let Hanley play DH full time, where he could mash again. 
 
Obviously won't replace Papi's bat, but Sale helps ease the need for offense. 
 
Really starting to wonder where Edwin goes tho. Red Sox haven't been in the mix. Jays are reportedly out. Astros are likely out with their signings. Guess that leaves mainly Cleveland and Texas. But can cleveland make that financial commitment (even with their increases in revenue from making the WS)?

 

[BrewCrewFan]

Sounds like both teams won the thornburg trade

 

[Phil The Thrill]

^Dubon is a decent prospect. No one really loves Shaw. He can be frustrating af, and just doesn't fit in the future. Pennington is a throw in.
 
Also Moreland to the Sox is official.

 

[Mexi]

Moreland is so meh
