Revenue Sharing Recipients: Diamondbacks, Braves, Orioles, Reds, Indians, Rockies, Tigers, Royals, Marlins, Brewers, Twins, Athletics, Pirates, Padres, Mariners, Rays These 16 teams received revenue sharing and did not exceed the competitive balance tax during the 2019 season. As such, they’d forfeit “only” their third-highest selection in the 2020 draft by signing a qualified free agent. Signing a second qualified free agent would require forfeiting their fourth-highest pick. A third would mean their fifth-highest pick (and so on). Revenue-sharing recipients who do not cross the luxury threshold face the smallest penalty in signing a qualified free agent.
Bowman, DOB and the new AJC writer have all mentioned that despite confusion, it’s our second highest pick. And the $500k comes with it.
Also, believe we can sign international free agents again, we just have 50% of our original pool. Next year we are full go.
And that's the crazy thing. Smith is a year younger than Stephen Strasburg, who I've heard no one complain about being on the wrong side of 30 and aging.
We also dont know our budget for next year either. We could have an upgraded budget. We declined JT and replaced with Smith. Trade Ender and let JD walk, and that's Money for a high priced corner piece at 3b or the OF. Or hell, Cole.
Moustakas is projected to sign for about half of Donaldson. Wouldn't hate it. Also like the idea of bringing wood back on the cheap. Make his deal based on staying healthy.
Yep, add Grandal and I'm not mad at that setup at all. Would give us time to see how the young guys develop while also not blocking anybody. Riley and Goat man left, Acuna in Cf, Kakes/Duvall in right?
Unless Riley can hit a curveball from the 5-hole there’s no way I can abide that outfield. Shit, sign Avisail or Puig or maybe, just maybe Ozuna
Had forgotten Will was the reliever that Fredi got ejected for a foreign-substance on his arm. Smith had a bunch of family in the stands, I believe.
Hate to let facts ruin a good story.. But O'Day appears to be born and raised in Jacksonville Florida.
I'd be all for Ozuna, there is just no way we are going into next season with a Riley/Acuna/Markakis outfield. With Duvall and Camargo as the next guys up. That makes me sick thinking about it.
Yeah, as much as I want Pache and Waters to be studs, we cannot count on them contributing after a few months of shit production from the corner spots.

I’ve been quiet but that’s the move I want. But not just him. Bring back Clevinger too. Something like Bae, Touki, Wright, Muller, and Minter for Lindor and Clevinger. I’ve also had concerns as to whether there will be any lingering clubhouse effects from Freddie calling out Ronnie. If there is any shred of concern by those close to the team you also swap Freddie and Santana.
He didn't say. Just speculation really but said we'd probably be in on lindor and not Bryant. Said he had a feeling lindor would resign.
Santana is 3 years older than Freddie and has been a 4 win player once. (This season) He's projected to be worth around 2.5 wins next year. Freddie has been a 4 win player 6 times. And is projected to be worth over 4 wins again next year.
