MLB Trade Rumors‏ @mlbtraderumors 45m45 minutes ago #SFGiants seem to be in on the Giancarlo Stanton sweepstakes. But the club is also reportedly interested in quite a different player: #Reds CF Billy Hamilton. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/11/giants-interested-in-billy-hamilton-reds-rumors-trade.html …://https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017...rs-trade.html …

Jerry Crasnick‏Verified account @jcrasnick 5m5 minutes ago The #BlueJays and #Mets have reached out early on free agent Lorenzo Cain, sources say. #Rangers, #Mariners and #SFGiants also have CF openings and could be potential fits. The Giants are juggling a lot of balls right now.

I think 20 years ago Beltran does not get in. He doesn't have any of the "Qualifying stats" like 500 home runs or whatever to get in. Closest thing he's got is top 50 all time RBI, but he's only 30 ahead of McGriff and McGriff didn't make it.

 

But...in the modern era, he's sitting at 67 career WAR and that's a hall of fame caliber number. I do think there will need to be some campaigning for him, but it'll be one of those that builds up into a yes vote over a few years of comments.

 

He's Jim Edmonds to me. And Jim didn't last a single year on the ballot (which was BS, but still).

Edmonds absolutely should be a Hall of Famer too. Among all hitters, Edmonds has the 90th highest career WAR, which means you can safely say he was probably one of the 100 best non-pitchers of all time. That deserves a place in the Hall.

Supposedly there is a lot of interest between Alex Cobb and the Cubs.

 

This match seems like a no-brainer IMO. Although, any discussion I've had with Cubs fans about what they think they're going to do this off-season, they say, "We're going to sign Cobb and trade for Archer" just because they hired the Rays' pitching coach lol the Cobb part I agree with. I imagine a deal for Archer starts with Happ and then one of Russel, Baez, Schwarber as Archer is very valuable to the Rays and they are not rebuilding.

Bob Nightengale‏Verified account @BNightengale 2h2 hours ago Scott Boras says there have been no talks w #Nats about contract extension for Bryce Harper but he's willing to listen. The Nats ownership believe Harper in free agency would cost in excess of $500 million

 

I doubt any team would sign him for more than 12 years or give him more than $40 million AAV.

Andrew Marchand‏Verified account @AndrewMarchand 20m20 minutes ago The Yankees interviewed Giants' bench coach Hensley Meulens for their managerial job today. He was a former top prospect in their organization and has earned a strong reputation as a hitting coach. http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0722883218201647484-4 …://http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=...18201647484-4 …

This was the expected behavior after new CBA right?

There were some thoughts that a couple of them (Hosmer, maybe Davis) could consider 1 year, $18 million deals, but it's not surprising. The new CBA lowers the penalty for signing these guys, so that should make their markets stronger.
