MLB winter meeting start Monday - do we see any big trades / signings happening next week?

[djefferis]

Traditionally - a lot of big moves made during the meetings.

Of course last couple of years - you’ve seen the biggest free agent prizes waiting until after pitchers/catchers report to sign - both feeling the max the market will pay and best fits.

Stands to reason that we will see a big trade next week involving a small/mid market team who can’t compete on top level free agents.

Who do we see getting moved next week ?

you don’t see a ton of big trades you’ll see those signings free agents. I think teams are strapped for money most of them.

soto most likely going to the Mets they’re gonna overpay

How good is this Japanese player Rōki Sasaki?

 

[djefferis]

IDK - but at 23 he could well become this years ROY - especially if he joins the Dodgers as anticipated.

Lanky, young and has a 99 mph fastball and knows how to pitch - not just throw the ball fast.

Hopefully he doesn’t burn out in 5 years.

Alonzo strikes out too much. I wouldn’t want that guy.

 

[phillyflyers]

Yankees land Fried on $218 million contract​

BREAKING: Left-hander Max Fried and the New York Yankees are in agreement on a eight-year, $218 million contract, pending physical, sources tell ESPN. It is the largest guarantee in baseball history for a left-handed pitcher.

 

[djefferis]

Smart signing by the Yankees here I think.
