by far the worst one

I think they will move for Olson and use Voit as trade bait but if the A's are asking for too much Freeman makes sense. As for the Marlins, right now I can see us improving a bit on last season and fighting for 3rd place in the division. I really like the additions of Avi Garcia, Stallings and Wendle but we still need more. I would love to see the Marlins make a big splash, trading for Bryan Reynolds or bringing Castellanos back home has been talked about. Craig Mish is as plugged in as they come when it comes to Marlins news and he is very confident that we're about to make some big moves so fingers crossed.

Can't wait to see Freddie in pinstripes 
Winker and Suarez to the Mariners
Reds doing Reds things

Ghost runners apparently sticking around this season.
Might be against the grain but I quite like that rule. It made extra innings more exciting, like injury time in football.
Yeah, I don’t mind it at all.
Just saw the details of the Olson trade. Oof, that was a kings ransom. Gutted their farm system and of Pache figures things out it will be a bloodbath for the Braves.
So... Suzuki ends up at the Chubs on an $85MM 5 year deal. Be interesting to see how he fares.
NL Central is looking like it could be a tight race between Chubs, Brewdogs and Cards.
Interested as well to see who comes 5th. Usually I'd say Pirates but the Reds are looking weak after trading Winker and Gray.

I really like Mat Olson, sad to see him leave Oakland, but the Braves are also a team I like.
I think that's an interesting option, I do love pitching also, but also love me some grand slams. Will see how it goes this season though.
Olson is a stud, he will rake for the Braves.
Can't wait to see him hit one over the chop house
Correa to the Twins? 
Yankees gave the Twins $40 million for Donaldson and they flipped it into Correa 
I get the Yankees strategy in fairness, they are all in on Volpe being their SS and didn't want to block him with a FA but still, that Correa contract would have worked anyway.

I held out faint hopes that Correa would return to Houston. Sad times man. He was one the reasons I was so drawn to the Astros.
I take it the spring training matches are not on live TV?
Nats lost 29-8 yesterday to the Cards with 15 runs scored in the 8th. This bodes very well for the coming season
Jesus. Did they have a position player pitching or something?Nats lost 29-8 yesterday to the Cards with 15 runs scored in the 8th. This bodes very well for the coming season
No, but lets just say that Cade Cavalli may need some more minor league seasoning.

Of course they have. The Dodgers only winning one WS during their Guggenheim fueled Man City level monetary advantage period still is the best thing. Don't let this end!
Kimbrel struggled in the set up role. I'm glad he can be a closer again but the fecking Dodgers man.
Completely missed Jansen went to the Braves! Jansen on he Braves and Kimbrel on the Dodgers. Bizarro world!Kimbrel struggled in the set up role. I'm glad he can be a closer again but the fecking Dodgers man.
This was a really classy move by the Dodgers. He gets paid $700K a year to not play.

Great story.
They should just go ahead and move to Vegas.

San Diego Padres acquire LHP Sean Manaea in trade with rebuilding Oakland A's
The A's are rebuilding after going 86-76 last year, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2017. Oakland has sent first baseman Matt Olson to Atlanta, third baseman Matt Chapman to Toronto and right-hander Chris Bassitt to the Mets this offseason.

That is a real shit return for Manaea.
Nah, it's today
So excited!
Let's go Giants and whoever is playing the Dodgers!
e- annoyed the Giants do not start till tomorrow
Finally.
Reasonable times for some of the matches so I will be watching. Will watch a bit of the cubs v brewers since its the earlier start, and then the pirates v cardinals.
Others are too early in the morning.

Who's watching the Chubs then?
It’s Masters week, baseball is secondary.
I can't join you in that unfortunately. I know people say baseball is boring but golf is a... well it's another story altogether.
