It's laughable Morosi says they want one of the most valuable pieces in baseball without dangling Lux or May. I know their farm system is nice and all, but yeesh.

I also think it's pretty pointless as the Dodgers need to revamp their pen and probably add another starting pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, for financial reasons if I'm LAD, I'm just keeping what I have on the infield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dodgers are part of luxury tax cabal and are content with Lux, Muncy, Taylor, Seager, etc. They don't want to pay Lindor. Dodgers have quite a bit of room before the 208 million luxury tax threshold. But yes I don't know that this is realistic and don't know that he's needed or that Friedman would give up what's required to get him. It would also lead to Seager being dealt and he's a fan favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be moronic to trade Seager, but I’d trade anyone but Gleyber and Sevy for him lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbuff Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 @redsoxsuck05 you did not just say you would trade Aaron Judge for Corey Seager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I do think the Yankees would be a much better chance at trading for him. Lindor and Urshella are good friends and the Yankees will need a SS after Didi isn't retained. Question would be what are they willing to give up for him. Move LeMahieu to first and that infield is stacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slateman Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 What kind of contract did Hudson earn himself with his second half/postseason performance? After the deadline, he threw 25 innings, notching 6 saves, posting a 1.44 ERA (3.53 FIP), a 8.28 K/9 and a 1.44 BB/9. In the postseason, he had 4 saves, 1 hold, and 1 win. He gave up 4 earned runs, three in the Game 5 blowout. Dude was flat out money and the Nats likely don't even make the playoffs if they don't trade for him, let alone win the World Series. He will be 33 next season, and stated several times that he doesn't actually like closing that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a shorter version of Brandon Morrow's deal or Anthony Swarzack's deal, who also kind of came out of nowhere? Maybe a 1/$7MM full guaranteed deal, with a pretty small buyout on an $8MM team option kind of thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Earlier today the Yankees announced that they declined the club option for 2020 on Edwin Encarnacion, making the veteran slugger a free agent. The team will pay him a $5 million buyout instead of a $20 million salary next season. ////////////// Next year was never gonna happen at 20M and that was before the end of season melt down.

Maybe a mutual option for $8 million in 2021 with a solid buyout of $1.5 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Per MLBTR, the Indians picked up Kluber's $17.5m option, and will buyout Kipnis for $2.5m and Otero for $100k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
