I think Bryant's decision makes a ton of sense - its all about the full no trade clause.   He extracts a "bad organization premium" from the Rockies, who I'm willing to bet offered significantly more years and money than anyone else. He goes to Coors, which will inflate his numbers - his hard hit rate is actually pretty bad for a player of his caliber, and in Coors a ton of those will fall for hits.  That inflation will keep him in demand, and when the Rockies turn it all over again - which will happen - the full no trade clause allows him to choose his destination among interested contenders. So he gets his bag and basically gets to choose what team pays him that money in a couple of years.

Interesting take Burrow, and quite plausible.

I think the Tigers' 1 year, $5.5 million deal with Pineda with innings pitched bonuses is the first deal I've seen this offseason where I went - "damn, I wish the Brewers had made that exact deal."

Why? He might not make the rotation. >:(

I get your larger point, though.

Twins sign Correa - guess they're serious about competing this year.

From The Athletic:

From the "things you don't want to hear your $330 million player say" file: When Fernando Tatís Jr. was asked when the motorcycle accident that could keep him out for several months occurred, he responded, "Which one?"

Trevor Story to the Red Sox.

Trevor Story to the Red Sox.
I believe they are trying to alienate every Red Sox fan.  I think this means this is Bogaerts' last season with the Red Sox.  Bogey ought to move to second or third, because he doesn't have the arm for short, but I'd rather have our guys stay rather than get similar guys who aren't out guys.  At least they finally did something.

Yeah this kind of feels like a worse version of the Dodgers bringing in Turner during Seager's contract year. The money on Story isn't as awful as it could have been, but there's a reason he only got 25% less money than Correa for one-half the years.

Brewers settled with nine of their ten arbitration eligible players:

Hader = $11M
Renfroe = $7.65M
Woodruff = $6.8M
Burnes = $6.5M
Navarez = $5M
Adamas = $4.6M
Suter = $2.7M
Urias = $2.55M
Lauer = $2.425M

Adrian Houser was the only player that did not settle, so his case will go to arbitration.

I'll stick with my opinion on Gold.  He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.

So is St. Louis going the NBA route now??

Get the two best players alive - Yadier & Albert - and build a championship team around them?

Yeah, it's working so well for the Lakers.
