I thought I was going to expire after hearing of the Goldschmidt deal last year, but a few weeks in I had moved on. Kinda makes my signed Goldy ball look a bit silly packed in a Dbacks box that I got this time last year

Donaldson off to the twins on 4 year $100m deal. Bit surprised braves didn't match as they had last offer rights. Not sure what we do to get the big bat to protect Freeman

He was bad first half of last season, big money for mid 30s

Yeah I was happy with what he produced but was a slow first half. Injury prone and as you say getting old, not to disappointed.
Having said that, we need a big bat to protect Freeman and are in the win it all timeline.
Reckon we will go for either arenado or Bryant via trade if we can get guaranteed years contracts and obviously a trade (have surplus prospects to get a trade done)

Jeter and Larry walker inducted into the hall of fame. Bonds and clemens both garnered over 60% of the. They’ll get in in their last year on the ballot

Derek Jeter, Larry Walker selected to Hall of Fame
Jeter, a Kalamazoo native, earned 396 of 397 votes (99.7 percent).
Probably rather Ozuna than Donaldson as long as Riley can play 3B well enough.
Angels will be a pretty good side this year.

Woooo Mets baby we’re going to surprise this year, that rotation
Hopefully Polar bear doesn’t have a sophomore slump.

One of the toughest divisions in all of baseball this year.

Early reports Mookie Betts & David Price to Dodgers, Alex Verdugo to Redsox, and the Twins are involved, getting Maeda and sending propsect Graterol to redsox.
Joc Pederson to end up at the Angels somehow as well.

I just read on Reddit that Boston will trade Mookie Betts and Price to the Dodgers - surely not
It sort of made sense to include Price to get his big contract off the books but now i read they will pay a big chunk of his salary so not so great.
From what im reading, redsox dont think they can sign Betts to a long term deal before the end of the season (as he wants to go to free agency and get as much as he can) so will try and get what they can for him (some good young talent). Wouldnt surprise if they try and resign him next year though but by the sounds of things they are trying to lessen their payroll a bit

Price is neither here nor there as you say. He is 34. His ERA is going up and he is on a huge contract.
Mookie Betts though is the best in his position in the MLB and just coming into his prime age. You just don't sell those players. Unless you have another one I guess - do they?

Yeah not sure, bit of a head scratcher. Very unlike the redsox to trade a player like this, usually they/yankees are buying these players.
My only thoughts are they know they wont be able to afford him when he becomes a free agent so trade him now while they get something in return (although i dont know much about the players mentioned or havnt been blown away by the names they are getting)
