MLB 2020-2021 OFF-SEASON NEWS AND RUMORS

Owners just don’t want to give something for nothing.

 

I'd put money on the Giants and Reds being two of the most active for him. Giants especially since Luciano is still 2+ years away. Reds like the rental and QO route while the Giants will want him in a year anyway. They may try to wow him now since they have some decent talent. I think there is no chance we do anything after the year Seager had.

 

The Mets are another team that could be in on Lindor. They are one of the only teams to announce they plan to spend this offseason, so we could see a number of big moves by them.

 

Ah, yep forgot about them. Mets farm is somewhat mediocre though so they may have to wait a year. Man... if I was the Mets, I would sell off some of my assets for more prospects and try to come out swinging in next years big FA market. No Syndergaard in 2021 and their staff was garbage in 2020. They have some decent pieces to build around going forward.

 

I don't see anything wrong with having seager and Lindor. They can man the middle infield or the left side. However, I do not want to be worried about paying Lindor, Seager Bellinger and the young pitchers in consecutive seasons.

 

Looks like MLB has ended their investigation on Turner and there will be no penalty. They are blaming everyone else while dropping this info on Friday afternoon in the midst of an election. Seems like a Friday dump to put to bed a stupid stupid stupid fucking story.

 

Speaking of Friday news dump during an election, the Red Sox hire back Alex Cora.

 

Must not care about winning in 2021 cause holy fuck is it going to be a nearly daily shit show with nightly questions about it from the media. Same thing for the Tigers, but we all knew that.

 

I just don't see how a MLB manager can bring enough value to make it worth dealing with the distraction.

 

Lombard to Detroit to work as Hinch's bench coach. I guess it's a step closer to becoming a manger, but it's AJ Fucking Finch.

Sure shit would sort itself out. Always amazing how things tend to work out when you win big. The pandemic could also somewhat affect contracts moving forward. Should just roll the dice, nab Lindor and complete the infinity gauntlet already so that fans can have the dynasty they've deserved for years. The door's open. Finally. Now remove the door from the hinges, toss it out, light a match and burn it

 

• Expect word this week about the realignment of Minor League Baseball. This is going to be very interesting as teams are expected to move levels and potentially divide/add/subtract leagues to tighten the travelling and lower costs. If what was said on MLB Radio was true this morning, teams will have little to no say on where their teams will be AND if the MLB team owns MiLB affiliate, it will have little to no impact on the decision.

• 9 Dodgers have tested positive for COVID since the WS and 1 family member.

• Andrew Friedman said on MLB radio that the FO has taken extra time off after the WS and are getting ready to get into the offseason swing. He admits that they're behind.

• Friedman is looking to add some differing looks for the pen.

• The Dodgers are also looking for a right handed bat to fit into the lineup.

• Not preparing for the universal DH next year.

 

the members of the team testing positive were NOT in the playoff bubble and have nothing to do w JT

 

I really think one of the NY teams get him
