Hahaha Nats are a dumb team

They did once employ Dusty Baker as manager, and acquired years back Jose "Clubhouse Troubling" Guillen.

Wanna bet? He is going to sign for 6/136, on December 11. Not sure with which team. 

@Lou, can you bookmark this?

Sure.  Gentlemen's bet.

I don't think Corbin will get 6 years.  I think most teams will not even want to give 5 years and will attempt to hold it to 4, with a team maybe finally caving in and giving him the 5th year to get the deal done.

I just cannot see a team giving him 6 years.  No way.

 

you owe Phil a gentleman

Corbin got married in the off-season, and supposedly his best man brother, pulled out a Yankees Cap and said it's going to be good to have you pitching close to home again.

He's from New York, so I don't see the Yankees losing out on him.

And the Phillies can talk all they want, but I doubt they get Machado to agree to play 3rd, Harper to play RF, Corbin to go with Arrieta and Nola and then are players for Trout in two years.

1. Yankees

2. Phillies

No one else has a shot.

Hahaha, I guess I should admit when I'm wrong. 6/140 is ridiculous money.

And now I will make my prediction, that will also be wrong, that the Angels will not trade for Greinke and also not trade for JT Realmuto and not sign Andrew McCutchen on a one year deal.

[Second Base]

Pat Corbin is a good pitcher.  No doubt about that.  

Looks like this year's free agent market is going to involve a lot of money being thrown around.  Maybe Angels should be looking toward the trade market for lower cost alternatives.  Or perhaps gambling on Pomeranz type of arms. 

At this rate, you're probably looking at Dallas Keuchel getting 4/90 (insanity!) or Nate Eovaldi getting 4/80.

rumor: Yankees topped out at 5/100

Hopefully the ball gets rolling here. Do the Nats have the money to bring Harper back, too?

They do, if they're willing to go over the luxury tax threshold for a year or two.

More reason to expect the Angels to turn to the trade market for an upper-end SP, and given Eppler’s disinterest in dealing prospects, makes me think Greinke is near the top of the list.

[Halokingfish]

I read that Eppler wanted durable pitching. Patrick Corbin already had a Tommy John surgery in his career, and after witnessing the pitching injuries this season we didn’t need to sign a guy that had that issue in the past for the stupid money the Nats gave him. Too bad Ohtani had the same injury but at least he is younger and can still contribute offensively at the plate. With luck hopefully Ohtani can recover faster.

Greinke feels like the sort he would target but you never know.  Here's an outside the box target, Yu Darvish.  The Cubs might look at going in a different direction, and this is probably the lowest they could buy him at, if Darvish were interested.

Apparently, there were 40 million more reasons to sign with Washington.

im guessing his brother in law isnt the one writing the check for the extra years at 23+Mil     Besides its just a few hours up the 95

I wondered about him, or Quintana + Zobrist to help clear their payroll.

[m0nkey]

Bryce will re-sign there and say “where’s my ring?” again 

[VariousCrap]

The Angels need to stay far away from Yu Darvish.  Come on now.

Yanks already got a Paxton for the holidays. And the Phillies got them some Segura.

[T.G.]

Most experts thought he was a lock for the Yankees using the "tired" argument that he grew up a Yankee fan, etc.

He clearly went to the highest bidder.

No going "home" once again!

well when one deal is a year less and 20-30 M it isnt exactly an apples to apples discussion but dont let that derail a quality rant

[VariousCrap]

Does this mean that what we saw last off-season, teams not throwing huge money at free agents, is not going to happen this off-season?

[tdawg87]

The Nationals just fucked the pitching market. Keuchel will probably get 6/160.

No kidding. Has everyone here forgotten how crappy he was last year?

[GrittyVeterans]

What a ridiculous contract. The odds of him living up to that are horrendous

I guess but aren't most free agent contracts somewhat "ridiculous"?

The fact is the teams have the money.

So I don't care what they make.  I just want good players.
