Phillies exercise the option on Aaron Nola:

 

[MatthewB]

Anthony Rizzo has apparently elected to decline his player option with the Yankees and is now a free agent.

Probably will re-sign a larger multi year contract

 

[FRUMPY]

Swanson for the braves is an interesting one - could be the 2nd year in a row we dont re-sign out leader of the clubhouse. Apparently offered him a 5 year $100m contract during the year which he turned down. Do they offer him more or go for a Turner/Bogaerts/Correa who would cost more but a more reliable bat. In the end I think they re-sign dansby

 

[Dixie Flatline]

A.J. Pollock declines his option with the Chicago White Sox, receives a $5 million buyout instead and becomes a free agent.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Cubs have made the qualifying offer to Willson Contreras and he's declining it.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Blue Jays expected to trade a catcher during the off-season.

Now's as good a time as any to post a link to a site that is maintained by a couple of A's fans. It's a bit like the NBA trade machine on ESPN, in that you can try out different hypothetical trades to see if a hypothetical trade is likely to be accepted:

Cubs have made the qualifying offer to Willson Contreras and he's declining it.

Doesnt surprise, he'll be after a 5 yr contract from someone - including the cubs.

Boston want to bring back Xander Bogaerts, but are speaking to other teams about the availability of their second basemen, with the plan to put Trevor Story at short in case Bogaerts leaves Boston.

Bogaerts an X-factor on free-agent market

LAS VEGAS -- Executives from all 30 clubs descended upon the Conrad at Resorts World on Monday, officially launching the offseason with this year’s General Managers Meetings. The meetings fall during MLB’s “quiet period,” as free agents are not permitted to negotiate with other teams until...

It's funny how MLB can get the schedule for 30 teams x 162 games released in August, yet the AFL can't get 18 teams x 22 released

not many take the QF offer - must be nice to know you cane arn more when turning down that type of money

 

[Dixie Flatline]

not many take the QF offer - must be nice to know you cane arn more when turning down that type of money

Isn't it more to do with the fact that the qualifying offer is only for one year and most players will want to have longer term deals?

Rays trade Ji-Man Choi for Pirates pitching prospect Jack Hartman.
