What does the image MMC posted. It won't show up for me.

MLB has informed clubs that OF Masataka Yoshida posts Wednesday morning at 8:00a ET. Terms must be reached no later than 5:00p ET on January 20, 2023.

Not bad for a guy who has pitched 13.2 innings since 2019.

Rangers signing Heaney would make sense. Health wise, him and DeGrom are similar.

Rangers have done a really good job with those mid-tier SP signings of late. Gray, Gibson, Perez, Lynn…I wouldn’t be surprised if someone like Heaney or Bundy (Oklahoma boys) or Syndergaard (DFW) wound up there on a deal akin to Tyler Anderson’s and produced really well in that ballpark.

If Judge signs with the Giants (which I hope he does) you know the Yankees will pivot to Carlos Correa and vice versa if the Giants can't sign Judge.

I will disagree that Heaney at four years (which is what is being said) would be good for any club. History would show that is simply not going to be the case. He is a head case and injured far too often.

btw the two SS's that the Angels have checked in on that I posted about last night was Nico Hoerner of the Cubs and Brendon Rodgers of the Rockies.

At 360 million even I would put up with those "neighborhoods" that constitute SF.

Might not be four years. Or if it is, it might go the way the Lynn and Gibson contracts did (and nearly Perez too) where they flip him a year or two in if he’s producing. Getting Mike Maddox back at pitching coach is significant too. I think the Rangers could be a real pain real fast.

Would love for Judge to sign with the Giants so Jon can finally get off his knees with Judge/Yankees

Changed thread title because this isn't the Verlander/Turner thread.

Rodgers might be much more affordable to trade for. I'm just weary of trading away the depth it looks like we finally have. 

Keep the depth and sign top talent. Angels would finally have a good mixture of it all if they did.

There’s a budget of some sort. So even if we trade for a SS it doesn’t mean they won’t sign another good starter or pen piece.

Hoerner would seem to be the likely play if the Cubs secure a star SS.

Rodgers is interesting.  He had a lot of promise but it has largely gone unfulfilled.  The Rockies are an awful organization though, so perhaps we could help extract more value out of him.
