We don't know if the Phillies were outbid.Love how quickly that went from THE PHILLIES WILL NOT BE OUTBID to Corbin signing with a division rival.
The Phillies and Yankees offered 5 years while the Nats offered 6. I saw Yankees offered $20MM AAV but am not sure what the Phillies 5-year offer was for.We don't know if the Phillies were outbid.
I'm almost wondering if their interest in Corbin were intended as a diversion. Or maybe I'm just overthinking this. I feel like they will be making a major move that nobody saw coming.Francesa saying the Yankees reportedly stopped at 5/$100m. That is a big ole' contract but sure doesn't look like they were trying too hard.
Taking away another potential bidder for Grandal/Ramos. Hope DD pounces when one of them is unsigned in February.in other news

#Astros making significant progress toward signing free-agent catcher Robinson Chirinos, sources tell The Athletic. Deal is believed to be in place, pending physical.
We'll see what they end up with, I'd rather have both of Happ and Morton than Corbin at that price and juggle six pitchers all year.If I were a Yankees fan I'd be mad, they should never get outbid on anyone (within reason).
Corbin is younger and better than Happ and Morton though....much better unless you think is 2018 was just a free agent hoax - if so then I can understand the trepidation.We'll see what they end up with, I'd rather have both of Happ and Morton than Corbin at that price and juggle six pitchers all year.
There’s always a question switching leagues and he only did it for one season really, I have no problem with Cashman setting a ceiling on how high he was willing to go and have no doubt he has backup plans in mind.Corbin is younger and better than Happ and Morton though....much better unless you think is 2018 was just a free agent hoax - if so then I can understand the trepidation.
I was terrified he was going to end up in NY after just turning a corner and being dominant for the next 2-3 years at least..
.The NL East is loaded.
2019-2021 under the current CBA, Brodie will be an agent again by the time that comes up so what does he care.Interesting conversation on MLB radio with Mets GM yesterday. One question they asked was concern about Cano not being able to stay at 2B long term. The GM answer was that there’s a collective bargaining agreement coming up, and that it’s not out of the question that you’d end up with the DH being adopted in the NL as part of that.
Kelly can be their starting C next year and Weaver is under control for 5 years. Plus that draft pick will be 78th overall. For 1 year of Goldy, I'd say AZ did quite well.That seems.... very under whelming
Agreed. Dbacks did really well here.Kelly can be their starting C next year and Weaver is under control for 5 years. Plus that draft pick will be 78th overall. For 1 year of Goldy, I'd say AZ did quite well.

You don't under stand: If SoSH poster only goes by name recognition, trade no goodAgreed. Dbacks did really well here.
Living like a king in Cleveland sounds a bit like being the worlds tallest midget.Also, I feel like making 10 mil in Cleveland can end up being just as much as double in NYC. You could live like a king for decades in OH off one year of that
Well that escalated quickly.Yes, everyone should aspire to live in a glorified box in NYC, Sf, LA, CHI, DC, or Boston, and be packed into an underground sardine can (smell included) with 1000s if their closest friends to get to work, after which they can pay $15 a glass for Woodbridge wine at misery hour at the corner bar.
It’s worse than that, if he isn’t hurt or Bauer doesn’t have a mishap with a drone and get cut the outcome is likely much different. And that cut was fluke as hellIt's a shame Carrasco was hurt in 2016. With one more arm, the Indians don't pitch Kluber and Miller into the ground and probably end their drought instead of the Cubs ending theirs.
- Trade talks for Kluber have intensified. Cleveland looking for young outfielder. Phillies, Yankees have them.Crickets in this thread on the first day of the winter meetings.
Its not going to be a mystery for long once someone can track their private jet...“Mystery Owner” flying to Vegas to meet with Bryce Harper, per Jon Heyman.
