1.  Yankees

2.  Philly

3.  Mets

4.  Mariners

5.  Yankees

6.  1-year contract with Texas

7.  Traded at the end of July

8.  (I literally have no idea if AZ is trying to resign him.)  If he gets traded, I think it's in the offseason to Houston.  I don't think AZ will go into March with him not extended.

9.  SF extends him.

10.  99.9% chance they trade him in the offseason.  Guessing Seattle?

 

Forgot about Donaldson, but fuck him.

The club initially declined Gardner’s $12.5M option, which they had up until midnight to decide upon. They then signed the journeyman to $7.5M for 2019.

Guy has played 11 years for one organization... Journeyman?

It would have been fun to see Kershaw on the open market.

1.  Where does Harper go? Cubs - New tv deal gets even sweeter with him in the fold. 

2.  Where does Machado go? Phillies, then they get Trout 2020

3.  Where does AJ Pollack go? Braves

4.  Where does Dallas Keuchel go? Mariners

5.  Where does Patrick Corbin go? Yankees

6.  What does Adrian Beltre do? Don't really care

Does he get traded because he's a free agent in 2020?

7.  Arenado - No

8.  Goldschmidt - Yes (Twins, Mariners, or Rays)

9.  Bumgarner - Yes and he should be

10.  Khris Davis - No

It's hard to understand why Kershaw would take that deal, at least from a purely financial standpoint. $28m might be about right for his age 33 season but it's going to be even tougher for him to get a longer-term deal going into his age 34 season. 


I thought he could get at least 5 years guaranteed on the FA market and I agree with you. I don’t trust Kershaw or Bum 3 years from now with the amount of mileage they have.

Maybe maximizing his career earnings isn’t his top priority.

He'll be 33 going on 40.  I think it puts the dodgers financially in a better chance to win a title and that's all he's got left to check off on his list. 

I think he knows he's going to be done by 34 or 35 anyway and I don't think he likes the limelight. Seems to fly way under the radar.

Discuss. 

Davey Johnson probably deserves in.  They do let in too many managers/execs, so Pinella might get in to.

They'll vote Lee Smith in.  

There are worse players than Will Clark in.  

I think Joe Carter is literally the most overrated player of my lifetime.  

But my greatest fear is a HoF with Kuhn, Selig, and Steinbrenner, but without Marvin Mitchell.
