Eagles27 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Time for offseason discussion for us less fortunate fans. Any rumors/minor news can go here. Start a new thread for any notable trades/signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Nationals ownership and upper management are flying out to Vegas to make one last attempt to re-sign Bryce Harper. Honestly, unless the Lerners are willing to go over the luxury tax threshold again, I cant think of anything more disastrous than inking Bryce to a 30+ AAV contract. They simply have too many holes/question marks on the current roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Two questions I have going into this offseason 1. Does David Price opt out? He has seemed to be unhappy in Boston, but I wonder how much that has to do with his poor performance until the second half of this season. 2. Do the Yankees deal Sonny Gray, and if so, for what?

tom cody Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Harper should be a fun situation to watch. Given the Cubs loss last night I expect them to make an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he's already said he won't be opting out, hasn't he? I see no way he does. 2. I think they roll the dice with him again next and see if he can right the ship over the offseason. They wouldn't get much at all for him if they dealt him, and he won't be that expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubs were going to be in on Harper regardless of the season outcome. Their funny money is going to start rolling in this year and they purposely stayed under the cap this year so that they can blow way past it in 2019 and 2020.

DirtyDez Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 The Diamondbacks are trading David Peralta and letting Corbin/Pollock walk in FA. Bring on the rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed that Pollock was a FA this offseason. He's gonna be a sneaky good pickup for someone this year. I'm thinking Corbin signs a really big deal with the Yankees.

Corbin to NYY seems like a foregone conclusion, unless the Yanks are scared off by his poor EV-against. Yanks, Dodgers, or Phillies for Machado. Harper to Cubs or Boston (*vomits*). Maybe Harper takes a one year do-over deal with Washington because the vets are still good and he can bounce back from the latest hidden injuries that cratered his season again.

Harper getting a 1 year bounce-back deal would basically be a 10 year contract at a slightly lower expect AAV with tons of player options. Which is what I expect Boras will be gunning for anyway.

Forge Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Just now, ramssuperbowl99 said: NO NO NO NO NO Haha. I'd be surprised if he's the one. How often do we see the first name associated with an opening be the guy that is actually hired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we POBO Stearns and GM Arnold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
