Ottoneu has introduced a feature showing if 2 teams in the same league were paid for my the same PayPal account. On both roster pages earlier today there was a note stating just that. Couple of hours later, both teams abandoned

Hold up. What happened??

The same PayPal account paid for both teams…

I wonder what’s up with that. Gotta be a story. Probably not a good one.
-
Wow. I guess we need 2 new team owners!

It’s the deadline for cuts. Everybody but Region Rats is renewed, and he has been an active owner so I’ll assume he is coming back too.
-
Maybe not $50+, but definitely $40+ the ceiling is still just sky high. He is only 24 and look at what he did in 130 games just 2 years ago.
-
With a guaranteed contract like he has, I don’t know what my work ethic would be. I want to think I’d work harder than ever. But in all honesty I don’t know that I would.
-
Since his last MLB game, Tatis Jr has had shoulder surgery, two wrist surgeries, missed an entire season, will miss a month of this season, and needs to learn a new position (assuming Xander did not sign there to move off SS). How do you guys calculate his auction price this year? Is he still a $50+ value? Maybe. It will be interesting to see how he returns.
-
Tuesday is the deadline. Get your trades and your cuts done soon.
-
There are 4 teams that have not renewed yet. Are you guys all staying? If not, please let us know.

I was going over the Mets projected financials last night. I might be missing some various expenses, and I was using a relatively high $350m projected revenue, I have the Mets losing at least $207M next year on a $2.4B investment.

Twins fan here who absolutely loves Arraez. Twins did fantastic in the trade and I was immediately happy w it.
-
Wow - I just read the mlbtr article again and they say Twins are also trying to sign Gurriel. If so, Twins will replace everything they gave up to get Lopez and 2 decent prospects. How embarrassing for Miami.
-
Not a Twins fan, but seems like a win for the Twins to me. I think Arraez value will never be higher than right now.
-
I like the Twins side a lot even factoring in that Arraez is under control for 1 more year.

Arraez is basically Yuli Gurriel. Now mlbtraderumors is reporting the Marlins are also trying to sign Gurriel himself.

I order DoorDash five days a week.

My kids taught me what “door dash” is tonight. I’ll never need to make dinner again!
-
Kimbrel isn’t what he used to be, but RP prices always go off the deep end in the draft. I’d trade Kimbrel for any player with even marginal keeper value. After adding Diaz, DeGrom and Cole I can’t afford to keep Kimbrel at $6.
-
If you have players you plan to cut but who are close to auction value, maybe we could work a deal out. I need OF, RP, Util, 3B… pretty much everything.

ESPN surveyed about two-dozen agents and front-office executives over the past month in an effort to gauge Bauer's potential free agent market. The most common response landed closely with what a rival general manager plainly stated in a text message "I don't expect anyone will sign him," the GM wrote.

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't. Might get the Luke Heimlich treatment. I know their situations and accusations are very different in numerous ways but he was a consensus first round draft pick level talent and nobody would touch him. Bauer is already an established successful SP and his allegations are different than Heimlich's but could see teams taking a similar approach with him as they did with Heimlich.

Any prediction where (or if) Trevor Bauer will pitch? The chance to add a SO with his pedigree for league minimum must be so tempting, despite the media consequences. But I wonder if Bauer wants to pitch. He gets paid exactly the same if he chooses to stay home and relax, and he already has a lot of money. Bauer has a different personality - maybe he doesn’t feel the need to play and just collects his $22.5M to stay home and fly drones.
-
Sounds like the ink is dry on the Correa to Twins contract. I actually like this deal for the Twins and think they did the best out of Correa, Swanson, Bogaerts and Turner. I'd take Correa and his deal over those. And that must be very frustrating for the Red Sox and their fans how this Story thing turned out. Reminds me of the frustration when Tatis needed wrist surgery but due to the lockout it didn't happen until months later than it could have/should have.

I think you summed up Cohen perfectly.

re. Story.... wow... the Red Sox are turning into Rockies East in terms of head-scratching decision-making.
-
Why the heck did Trevor Story not realize he needed surgery until now?! So… Story will miss at least half the season and probably can’t play SS when he returns, and he waited until all the SAs are off the market to announce this? Red Sox are a mess right now.
-
As for Cohen - nothing would surprise me. The more I read about his background, the more convinced I am he is a total fraud. If anybody thinks Madoff, Epstein, Enron, FTX, HealthSouth, Theranos, etc are just crazy, isolated stories and Cohen couldn’t possibly be a fraud, you are kidding yourself. Cohen spends recklessly - as if he knows it is all a fraud and he is partying like his world is coming to an end.
-
I assume the reporting about Correa is incomplete. The doctors are not free to disclose their reports, the teams are not free to do so either, and Correa may have reasons to control what gets out. For all we know, the problems may have been distinct from the 2014 surgery. The way sports reporting is these days, rumours count as “news.” How would we know for sure why the Giants and Mets backed out of their agreements?
-
The whole situation is very strange. Correa finished the season strong and this "issue" was from a surgery in 2014. He has never spent time on the IL from complications from this surgery. Doesn't make sense. Maybe Cohen's firm got a letter of inquiry from the SEC. He must of missed a payment.

LOL if the Twins balk at the physical, at this point, I will legit feel bad for Correa, which is hard to do for a guy making hundreds of millions of dollars most likely.
-
By this time tomorrow I expect to hear, “Twins delay Correa signing pending further review of medical reports,” followed by “Correa agrees to sign 4 year/$120M contract with LA Angels.”
-
I am a happy Twins fan. Of course it can fall apart, but 6/200 is totally fine by me. Will be interesting to see what happens with Brooks Lee and Royce Lewis, but Correa has already shown he will move off if it makes sense, Lewis has already moved for Correa in the past, and either could be trade candidates for pitching, in addition to Austin Martin.
-
It should be fun to see whether Cohen can handle the ego hit. I hope he overreacts and makes some irrational moves (trade for Trevor Bauer, overpay for Bryan Reynolds, scoop up remaining free agents like Sanchez, Harrison).
-
Twins really needed a SS this year, but Royce Lewis will be back at some point. I wonder if he is now a trade candidate.
-
New York baseball media is having meltdown over Correa signing with the Twins. Mad Dog Russo is going nuts right now.

Also sounds like Correa may not end up with the Mets and either the Twins or other teams could be talking with him. Very bizarre free agency for him.

Padres could use another SP, and I bet they would love the idea of Dodgers paying g Bauer $22M to beat them.
-
As a Pirate fan, I will be angry if the Bucs don’t at least try to sign Bauer. A team like Pitt could never sign a SP with Bauer’s ability without taking advantage of something like this. I get the PR hit but I also hate seeing them lose every single night.
-
Looks like LA is going through a Bauer outage, just DFA's him. Will be interesting to see who, if anyone, is willing to pick him up. Literally every team could use a good SP but maybe they think it's not worth the distraction or potential backlash.

I’ll set the draft for Tuesday 2/21 at 8pm NY time. That should be plenty of time to clear schedules, and we can get our draft set before other leagues. The longer we wait, the harder it is to find a day/time that works.
-
I unfortunately will be on a plane at that time
-
Works for me.

As far as I know that should work for me for the draft.

For a draft date - I know from experience there is never a perfect day/time for everybody, but if we set a date now we can give everyone a chance to free up a couple hours and make it work. We can also beat the other leagues to it so we avoid conflicts…. I propose Sunday, Feb 19th at 8pm. The weekend after Super Bowl - no big sports events.

Happy New Year! 🎉
