Apparently the Indians are listening to offers for veterans including Corey Kluber according to Buster Olney. What are the Indians doing there? They going to blow it up or something? Not seeing anything as to why. Seems tightwad-ish. Indians projected payroll for 2019 is $96 million (BB Reference doesn't list Bauer and Lindor's contracts). Guess the Tribe believes that they can win the AL Central without Kluber (they can). Kluber is only owed $17,000,000 for next year, with a $16.5 million team option in 2020. However, Kluber will be 33 before April of 2019 is over. usually, the age when pitchers begin to deteriorate. Might be wise to dump him, get a haul of prospects and spend the cash on deals for Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez. looks like the yanks are going after kluber.

He also blows in the postseason. Brantley is going to the Cards last I heard... He was pretty damn good leading up to the World Series. (Kluber that is) I'd be shocked if Brantley went to StL. They have a bit of a logjam in regards to the OF. Ozuna/Bader/O'Neill/Fowler/Martinez. Ozuna and Bader seem to be locks while Fowler is eating a fat ass horrible contract. Martinez is a good bat but has no real position so they shoved him in RF late in the year when they went on a run. O'Neill is a guy who they like too. Not sure where Brantley fits in unless they trade away some guys. What the Cardinals really need is a power hitting Corner IF. Heard Josh Donaldson connected to them a lot. If the DBacks are legit shopping Goldschmidt the Cardinals would be an ideal spot for him too sadly.And move an aging Matt Carpenter to 3rd permanently? He's aging but still can hit the bejeezus out of the ball. St. Louis would be risking making the Phillies mistake and having your best player playing out of position. Though Goldschmidt is a better option than Carlos Santana. One disquieting rumor is the Yankees making a play for Paul Goldschmidt. They like Luke Voit, but c'mon. They could sign Machado, And then flip Andujar, Greg Bird or Luke Voit, Sonny Gray and Justus Sheffield or Clint Frazier (Yanks top prospects, AZ would demand one) to the Snakes for Goldy.. Hell of a deal for Arizona, They get a replacement, a hot 1st year player, an established vet starter (Gray will be fine when he leaves NYC) and one of the Yankees big prospects. And the Yanks give up nothing they can't spare. the heart of their order would be Machado, Judge, Stanton, Goldschmidt, and Sanchez. Yikes.

While moving Carp to 3rd permanently isn't ideal it doesn't seem to bother the Cards too much (plays there often anyway) as they'd improve at 1B greatly with Goldy. Carp isn't going to be a good defender anywhere he's put but if you have the chance to get Goldy? I'd certainly go for it. If he goes to the Yankees I'll just be sick. It makes a ton of sense for them to get him too.

It makes a ton of sense for them to get him too. It won't hurt Carpenter now, but if the break the bank to get Goldschmidt, I would think it would be predicated on signing him to an extension. How long cna he play 1b? And do you make him the unwanted house guest, bouncing him from place to place? Haven't heard anything concrete on the Goldy to NY. Just a couple things when AZ said he was available. Probably just writers making a headline. But it would make sense. They're not saying it, but this season has to leave a rotten taste in the Yankees mouth. 100 wins and play the ugly stepsister to the Sox. But is another big bat what they really need? This deal was dependent of the Yankees signing Manny Machado. Now I've read they are "lukewarm" on Johnny Hustle-NOT. And Goldschmidt can't pitch. Can they sign both Machado and Patrick Corbin and ink Goldy to a big extension? They're OK now, but in 2020, Gary Sanchez, Luis Severino and Aaron Judge are all arbitration eligible. What will be costly. Still paying Jacoby Ellsbury and Stanon will get increasingly expensive.

How long cna he play 1b? And do you make him the unwanted house guest, bouncing him from place to place? I don't know why they wouldn't give him like a 4-ish year extension and have him signed for the next 5 years up until he's 36. Players tend to love playing for the Cards when they get there so I'd think he'd sign a extension with them as well. I don't see him moving positions when he's older as the norm is as you age you then move to 1st. Are you asking how long he can play gold glove 1st base? Then that's a question nobody can really answer. I doubt they make the move for him but I think they're a fit. Personally I think they go the route of signing Donaldson for 2 or 3 years.

π¨Mariners nearing deal to send Mike Zunino to Tampa Bay The Mariners' offseason wheeling and dealing has begun. Sources say the M's are finalizing a deal to send catcher Mike Zunino and Guillermo Heredia to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for outfielder Mallex Smith and perhaps a minor league prospect.

Also mixed reports today on whether or not the Braves have made a significant offer to the Marlins for JT Realmuto. SiriusXM's Craig Mish reported Wednesday that the Braves made Miami a "strong offer" and that the Marlins were "operating as though a trade is likely to happen." In response, Fancred's Jon Heyman reported that the Braves "have yet to make any offer" involving Realmuto. Link: bleacherreport.com/articles/2804906-mlb-trade-rumors-braves-yet-to-make-any-offer-for-marlins-jt-realmutoI think I read somewhere that Mish was the first to report the Yelich trade last year. Does he know something the rest of the reporters don't? Or has he possibly been given false information to try and up competitive offers for Realmuto? As a Braves fan I personally really want to get him. He's probably the best overall catcher in baseball. He'd be a huge upgrade.

Yeah heard that too. Not sure how I feel about that one as a Braves fan. He's a fine player when healthy but he's not exactly the bat I'm hoping to be hitting behind Freeman.

142 Days until Opening Day. March 20th, 2091, Oakland and Seattle in Tokyo. Real schedule begins March 29th. To make the time past, post all the deals and rumors here! Yankees are "lukewarm" on Manny Machado. He would be a good fit, with the team wanting to move Miguel Andujar to the OF and Didi Gregorious having TJ surgery. He would be a dig at the Red Sox, who hate him about as much as Milwaukee. His recent fuckery is going to cost him big, www.sny.tv/yankees/news/sources-after-postseason-antics-yankees-lukewarm-on-signing-manny-machado/299924774Patrick Corbin drawing interest from Yankees, Phillies, Nationals,
