Buxton staying with the Twins. As a baseball fan, it's nice to see teams like the Rays and Twins keep some of their players.

$25 million/year for Semien... Whew, they'll regret that move in a few years.

4 years 53 million for Avasail Garcia - to the Marlins. The fish spending some money.

4 years 53 million for Avasail Garcia - to the Marlins. The fish spending some money. I think maybe teams are thinking there's a salary floor to spending coming in the next CBA agreement. Small market teams even spending. Even the cheap Ray's are spending money. Although Oakland is selling off pieces and are ready to dumpster dive for one of the lowest payrolls in the league again.

Those both look like major overpays.

Buxton staying with the Twins. This is an amazing job by the Twins. There are incentives of 3-8mil (for top 10 MVP finishes) but even with the limit on the ceiling and the no-trade clause, it's a heck of a deal. The 6 year extension (he has 1 year left of arbitration in this deal) equates to about 4.5mil per fWAR (using steamer's current projection and assuming 0.5 war decreases starting at age 31). That's a huge discount off the free agent market. Even if he only plays 81 games per year, it's a solid deal. (Last year he posted 4.2 fWAR in 61 games)

Lol Steve Cohen is a monster. Unlimited money it seems.

Lol Steve Cohen is a monster. Unlimited money it seems. And the owners were afraid of Mark Cuban.

Oof… I actually slot Gausman ahead of Semien in the you’ll-be-sorry Olympics.

Do not want that contract on the books

Is it me or do you have a feeling that agents are mentioning the Red Sox just for leverage?

The potential impact of the Gausman signing is that SF probably gets more involved in the Stroman market. I would think that Stroman or Rodon would slot into E-Rod's vacated rotation slot?
Also means the loser of Scherzer, likely either the Mets or Angels goes after Ray. I would also think that the Yankees might be involved with Ray, too?

Wonder what that gray deal will look like. I thought he could be a good target for the Sox. Oh well.

Yeah I can start to see why Bloom gave Wacha 7 million now.

That's a lot of money for a guy that's maybe a smidge better than Nick Pivetta.

This is insane money for Scherzer if true.
