Thanks, Clay.

Well, that was an interesting Sunday morning. Gone are Lindsey and Sanford. We welcome into town Soto, Gerard, Tufts, Roes, and Dani Rodriguez.

You can never have too many quality pitching options. I'd still like to move one or two though.

Looks like Z and I have revived the Ale race a bit and looks like Denver wants to make it a race with Dallas.

Everyone just wants to catch Dave.

Per a source, California has offered Japanese outfielder Kokoro Fujii an eight-year contract with an average annual salary of roughly $27M. Wow.

[Ryan]

I look forward to seeing how these International guys work out, especially the younger ones that aren't fully developed.

But 27MM. Wow.

Yeah, looks like Linty is on a spending spree for the first time since early 90's. He has "Vulture" at a decent penny also.


Luv the guys....but can't do it.

[Carlos]

LMR is making $9 MM and he's proven. And it's one year. And the team trading him isn't even asking for much in return.

It's like free agency but at a discount!

I would question those reports, but of all people...I'm all in on INT FAs if I'm Linty. Betts is a beast. CAL is just going to be that team that gives these guys homes.

I've lost 2 and gained 0 in FA and picked up 0.6 in WAR. Addition by subtraction.

Betts is good, but he's making $8M a year, not $27M.

Mine is 6.1 from 8.4 but I think Bollati would have been more than the difference had he played last year. So I'm happy.

[Z]

I'm still excited about that three-team trade!

[Jistic]

Betts is good, but he's making $8M a year, not $27M.

And if he opts out after next year and Cali signs these guys he goes bye bye.

Ha. As am I.

Nothing big for Pawtucket in this sim. Did receive a comp B pick.
