Only thing catching my eye is he said 72 hours, the article essentially says they want it done in 72 hours.

Wait...is there actually smoke to this bullshit???

He said it before the 2018 season. I severely over drafted him in fantasy solely based on what James said.

Finish a proposed trade to the Sox.

Sorry if it's already been brought up or refuted, but this Mazara stuff seems leaked to put another teams feet to the fire to finish off a trade.

Kershaw

Go for broke and go for Urias, especially since the Dodgers insist on him being in the bullpen.

Feeling very pessimistic about this week.

Nelson

Seems like things moved faster and got richer than teams intended. Washington owner coming out tonight, Minnesota giving that deal to Pineda and Atlanta giving an aggressive deal to Hamels. Think these deals and rumored deals shell shocked some teams.

Why can't he play RF against lefties and be a DH/occasional RF the rest of the time? Especially if the primary RF is a guy like Pederson.

All the power players are gonna start making way to San D. Think the flurry yesterday was getting things done before the meetings. Its gonna stay quiet through the weekend.

24 hours later, I'm good with Ryu. Especially with Grandal here. Get a deal done with LA to get Pederson and Maeda here. Sign Castellanos. Hope 1 or 2 of Kopech/Lopez/Cease/Rodon make a leap like Moncada/Gio/TA/Eloy did last year. Dont know a much better way outside of Hahn having a big trade up his sleeve.

Realistically for both sides, probably gotta start with Vaughn. Stiever, Walker, Bush?

Not alot. Colorado...Gray or German...Julio Urias (longshot) Kenta Maeda from Dodgers. Miami has some good young arms, may not have enough to get any. Is anything about taking on Sale realistic?

Kind of agree. Go for Keuchel or Ryu and hope the in house starters bloom. Go Castellanos and JDM. Time to get creative.

Bilek and Kamka too

By my math on what is already under contract and project Arb, the team is at about 80 mill right now. 5 mill of Abreu's salary was a signing bonus, so he is making 12 mill instead of 17.8 mill in 2020. There's plenty of $$$ to still play with. Would be embarrassing if about $125 mill isn't a realistic payroll next year.

Ok thanks. Another $34 mill should be spent. $44 mill even.

Get Wheeler done. Grab Betances. Trade for Marte or Mancini or Haniger. OR sign Gardner or Dickerson or Calhoun. Would be an outstanding offseason...with the Abreu and Grandal deals and cutting Yolmer, the teams sits around $80 mill in salary at the moment, correct?

Seems like Flores may have a inkling he's at least being dangled if not involved in a pending trade.

Merkin retweeting news about Orioles trading Dylan Bundy. Seems suspect, don't normally see him retweeting info about other teams/players. Gross if this is what the 40 man spot clearing has been about.

Going cold gang...

#Metoo

On MLB radio earlier they talked about how if Strasburg was going to re-sign with Nats it likely would have happened by now (I.E. Abreu with the Sox). They then said some believe the Sox have gotten involved with him and Cole. I don't buy it, but the timing of the Sanchez move was interesting being it didnt need to get done today. Don't buy this, but Sox operate in stealth mode which makes the Wheeler smoke a little strange. Maybe a diversion?
