It's not the worst idea but you also don't improve the OF defense.

Man, I'd hate to rely on either Sousa or Banks next year. Those guys are closer to "fat I'd trim on a potential 40-man roster crunch when we add guys" than guys I want to keep in the pen. Crochet could be an option to open the year in the minors (will he be ready by start of the year?).

That could still work with Kirk getting majority of the DH at bats against lefties.

I was thinking Winker could be a piece going back to Seattle to DH. I think their entire lineup was right-handed (before the trade).

Makes sense as the Jays try to get more left-handed. Wonder who is going back the other way.

Not that I was pushing for it, but Teoscar dealt to Seattle.

They do need a right-handed hitting (preferable 4th) OF, assuming they non-tender Engel.

Sox get QO control of Hernandez. Giolito is also a 1-year stop gap.

I too was confused at that comment.

Guardians trade Nolan Jones to Rockies. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/11/rockies-acquire-nolan-jones-from-guardians.html

And now you can have Tapia for free basically.

It opened last week I believe. After the 5 day window after the World Series when free agents could only sign with their former team.

I count Pirates, Cubs, Giants, Marlins. I miss any other ones?

Also opened up a 40-man spot trading Choi last week and releasing (but probably re-signing to a minor league deal) Brendan McKay.

I’m with you here. Classic Angels.

Yep. 5pm deadline.

Problem is, Winker should also be DHing.

Qualifying Offer Decision deadline is at 3PM today. Rule 5 Deadline is at 5PM. I figured this info should be tossed out here somewhere.

Jerry approves.

Please don't will this into existence

Well, a team who is in their competitive window and who's goal is to win the whole thing.

The fluff pieces begin.

I think that was Trea Turner.

Uhhhh people have started threads for Tweets from less credible accounts?

Yeah, the Rays I guess have been in "advanced trade negotiations (https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/11/rays-notes-40-man-roster-trades-choi-kiermaier.html) so they'll probably make a few trades between now and the deadline (whatever time that is tomorrow).
