He’s a lot like Kramer or Reyes (without the ability to play OF). He does have a fair bit of MMLB experience already and is approaching his prime. So, do you keep Kramer and/or Reyes down or move them if we sign Flores?

<t>This comes down to the question of whether or not you see Diaz as a starting catcher. If you think he can start 100-120 games and give you the kind of offense he provided last year, then it makes a lot of sense to trade Cervelli. The money saved will surely buy a decent backup C from the FA marke...

Like others, I’m happily surprised. When he wasn’t resigned by last Friday and all other teams got a shot at him, I figured it was less than 50-50 that he’d be back. Low risk, high upside. Good re-signing.

<t>I don't know if the rules allow it, but assuming they do, you would think the FO would have been negotiating this all with Kang ahead of the deadline. I would have expected them to almost immediately announce the new contract - unless he and his agent decided that they might as well test the FA w...

<t>If they were going to spend big, and I don't think they will, then I'd spend on a LHSP.  My big spend would be Corbin.  I'd also spend on Happ, but for a shorter term.  I probably would not be willing to spend as much for Keuchel as he will cost.  Get one, and you can then trade Nova. You'll reco...

<t>I like the way Markakis plays, but he is about to turn 35 and just had his best year at the plate since 2012. If he'd take a 1-yr deal and be willing to be the 4th OFer once Polanco is back...<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> They may make a run at him if the other options (see the FA OFers thread) get too...
