What I didn’t like was the top of the 11th. Runner on second and you swing away swing away swing away. Why not bunt him over to 3rd? Or maybe atleast make contact. Instead it was strikeout strikeout strikeout. And I realize it’s only one game but anyone really feel comfortable watching dalbec as a championship player on the team? It a long season but there is a lot of work to be done I fear King was throwing disgusting pitches and Cora has said a lot of times that he's playing for multiple runs on the road, not one, with the zombie runner.

Liu was supposed to pitch for Greenville, but there has been a bug going around the team and he seems unlikely to go tonight.
edit: a news report out of Salem made it sound like Wilkelman is pitching, but it's a bit ambiguous.

The Marlins reportedly cut off negotiations for Reynolds because the price was so exorbitant. He's a Super 2, so he has 4 years left.
BTV has Reynolds at 85M in surplus trade value and Mayer at 55M, for perspective.
If we are talking to the Pirates, I hope it's about Bednar.

Rosenthal goes scorched earth: theathletic.com/3152105/2022/02/27/rosenthal-rob-manfred-on-course-to-fulfill-his-own-doomsday-prophesy-for-baseball/As for the owners running the show: "But at this point, it’s fair to wonder whether Manfred has the 23 votes necessary from his owners to approve any proposal." "Which raises the question: Who is running this show anyway? The small- and mid-market clubs seemingly are dictating the league’s hard-line positions, particularly on the luxury-tax thresholds and penalties. Those teams outnumber the big-market behemoths, making them important to Manfred politically. But a commissioner with vision would recognize that suffocating the big-market behemoths is not necessarily a wise strategy for the league, which needs those teams to thrive."

If they do get rid of comp picks for losing free agents, that opens up some serious questions regarding Xander and Nate and their impending free agency The teams that sign them won't lose a pick, but I bet teams that lose elite talent will still get a pick based on the contract the player you lose signs or something. Small markets need that.

What does "draft compensation for draft picks" mean?
Is that "draft compensation for not signing draft picks," like the Jud Fabian situation?
It was a bad tweet, free agent draft pick compensation is gone.

Brian Bannister was on a podcast (maybe the SP podcast?) a few years ago, and IIRC his philosophy was that there are only 3-4 guys each draft with the physical skills to be true starting pitchers, and they’re gone in the first 15 picks. In other words, if they’re not in a position to grab one of those guys, they’re likely to go position player. I have no idea if that represents his own thoughts or an organizational philosophy (and also he’s not with the Sox anymore), but it lines up with what ramireja was saying. It was with Bradford and it was really good:

In tomorrow's Nikkan sports paper, it says Suzuki is preparing to come to the USA so that he can narrow down his list of teams to 3 or 4. It says his agent is preparing to resume negotiations with teams when the lockout ends. Seems to list mariners, cubs, giants, padres as finalists. news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/c1478c39f1d6f34c4a688fe15baab89f99e36f63

A Devers extension increases his 2022 CBT number by 10-15 million. I don't think it makes much sense to extend him until free agency is over with. If the famously trigger-shy Chaim Bloom can't find enough deals to his liking, then Devers can help them reach their payroll limit. If Chaim is overwhelmed with all the cheap free agency WAR available to him, then maybe he can worry about Devers next year. The usual gimmick is to announce it like two days after the season starts, right? No reason to think that's not how they'd do it this time around. That CTB loophole was closed a long time ago, it doesn't matter now, they can sign him this winter and either have 2022 in the calculation or not.

Semien has been better than Bogaerts But there are more gigantic SS contracts to come These guys are all getting at least age 37 deals now Next year is Bogaerts, Turner, Judge, and that's it I have little doubt Bogey reaches 8/200 at minimum with a pretty good Semien comp

Duran/Bobby/Seabold. If we package two of the three players would it be enough for one of Pablo Lopez or Frankie Montas? Lopez has 3 years left, Montas 2, so basically he is roughly 33% more valuable. Duran and Dalbec get you to just about Montas' value, Seabold, while he is throwing 88 and looking bad, can't be very valuable at this point imo.
