re: MLB Offseason Thread: Hosmer to the Padres, Twins get a starter

If Otani signs with LAA, I can only assume Pujols is playing 1B. No way they are paying $30 mil to platoon a DH. Even though I would put nothing past that front office.

I don't think Pujols is physically capable of playing a position.

I hope you don't think the Marlins are going to take on Gonzalez and McCarthy without Buehler and at least two more of those prospects coming along. Buehler is the prize of the Dodgers farm system, he's gone if Stanton goes to LA. And you can't just unload players in exchange to make the money work so they can get Stanton and Gordon, Jeter would hang up.

Now I do see Puig getting traded for Stanton to make room. He's not good for a team IMO but would offset with the tickets he'd sell due to the proximity of Cuba.

the dodgers are not trading buehler unless the marlins want to the vast majority of that contract

Cubs sign Tyler Chatwood. 3 yrs, ~40 mill

Not really sure how I feel about that.

It could work out, or he could be the white Edwin Jackson. I’d imagine his ERA would drop a bit leaving Coors Field. His home ERA was double his road ERA last year

Chatwood has a career 3.31 ERA away from Coors over 300+ innings.

The Cubs are still in for Cobb this doesn't take him out of the market for him. I like the Chatwood signing dude has potential to breakout his road era away from coors was really good.

This is what I came into this thread to say.

He's not Lackey, so I like the move by default.

Cardinals are already tight on the 40 man roster, so it may have something to do with that. If they sign someone they would have to leave someone they like exposed.
