@Joelsherman1: I'm a huge Realmuto fan, but feel Ramos is right move for #Mets. It cost just $. Allows them to keep inexpensive assets to continue to build if they are not a contender in '19 or use in July trades if they are. Ramos' deal does not tie NYM long term, traceable if NYM not in it.

So what's the market for Realmuto now?
Mets: Out
Nationals: Out
Braves:
probably out
Dodgers: ?
Astros: ?
Padres: ?
I'm thinking now that the market had shrunk, the Marlins will hold on to him and dangle him at the trade deadline again.

The Braves are another team that has apparently bowed out of the Realmuto sweepstakes, sources told MLB.com's Mark Bowman on Saturday. Based on past reports, that narrows the field to the Reds, Rays, Dodgers and Padres. All four clubs have very strong farm systems, and with the Marlins rebuilding, could make enticing offers for the 27-year-old All-Star.

How'd the nationals do in the playoffs?
Still rather Schwarber over Acuna?
Is Baez enjoying his first MVP award?

Michael Brantley is in agreement with the Houston Astros on a two-year, $32 million deal, sources tell Yahoo Sports. Straight two-year deal, no options. Still some work for it to be official, but the terms are in place.
More than I thought he'd get.

is that a lot for a DH? it feels that way but maybe not. and he probably wouldnt be a full time DH but idk how often the astros would want him to play in the outfield
Posted on 12/17/18 at 9:08 pm to WestCoastAg
I had him at like a 1 year 13M prove it deal.
Posted on 12/17/18 at 9:32 pm to WestCoastAg
He’ll probably play LF at MMP
Posted on 12/17/18 at 9:38 pm to UltimateHog
Fangraphs crowdsource average was 2.89 years at $42 million
I think it’s a good contract for a good player when healthy. He won’t be asked to carry the offense

Latest Vegas odds on Harper

Interesting. Thought STL was assumed to be out of it after the Goldy trade
Posted on 12/18/18 at 1:45 am to 5 Deep
Nah, Goldy didn't really have an effect on Harper. Still the same one foot in one foot out spot lurking.
I would be very surprised though.

Good move for Astros
This new market,is lowering the years. 2 years ago, brantley would of cost similar but it would of been a 3-5 year deal.
Now, teams are not willing to go more than 2-3 for 30+ players, unless they are super stars.
This actually helps the midmarket teams. Keeping the prices down, and guys doing 1-2 year deals. And teams flipping them at the deadline for prospects.
shite, some really good arms for bullpen out there and not even 1 has been rumored to have had a deal offered yet.

@JeffPassan: Despite reports out of Cuba that there is an agreement to allow Cuban players to come to MLB via a posting system similar to the league's agreement with Japan, no deal is finalized, sources tell Yahoo Sports. The sides do expect to complete a deal in the near future, per sources.

@JeffPassan: According to @Schustee, MLB spent $1.32 million in lobbying fees on matters related to Cuba last year and $999,000 this year. It’s a staggering number, and it shows the lengths to which the league has wanted to rid itself of the human trafficking that's part of Cuban defections.

Deal is done.
quote:
Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) jointly announced today an agreement with the Cuban Baseball Federation (FCB) that will provide Cuban baseball players with a safe and legal path to sign with a Major League Club.
The objective of the agreement, which is the product of years of negotiations with the FCB, is to end the dangerous trafficking of Cuban players who desire to play professional baseball in the United States, a practice that has been documented in legal proceedings and media reports, and which has caused significant hardship to Cuban players and their families.
Under this agreement, the FCB must release all players under contract to the FCB who are at least twenty-five (25) years old and have six (6) or more years of playing experience (known as "Foreign Professionals" under MLB rules) to sign with MLB Clubs. The FCB may also release younger players to sign with Major League Clubs. Once a player is released by the FCB, he is free to negotiate and sign with any Major League Club without leaving Cuba, subject to the same collectively bargained rules applicable to all international players. A Major League Club that signs a player released by the FCB pursuant to this agreement will pay the FCB a "release fee," the amount of which is calculated using the same formula contained in MLB's protocol agreements with the NPB, KBO and CPBL. When it is time for the player to report to the United States or Canada for baseball activities, he will do so pursuant to a standard work visa, which will also allow him to travel with his family and to return to Cuba during the off-season if he chooses.
