MLB 2018 Offseason Thread - Donald Trump is a better manager than Dave Roberts edition

[Melena]

Fuck the Dodgers. Hope Kershaw opts out. We have three days to wait and see how Free Agency is going to start. Winter meetings will be in a little over a month. Approximately 4 months until your team is eliminated from the post season.

[Melena]

Nationals exercised their 6M option for Sean Doolittle.

[Boyiee]

Fuck Manny Machado.

I hope the Yankees don't buy him.

[synistar]

If the Dodgers re-sign him and trade Seager, I'm gonna cut myself. Fuck Machado.

It's really a 50/50 for Kershaw opting out. He has lost market value obviously. If he does opt out, he's going to either the Astros or Rangers imo.

[Melena]

Giants exercised their options on both Sandoval and Bumgarner. No surprise on each as Sandoval only costs us the veteran's minimum (thanks Boston), and Bumgarner's option is a steal of a price.

[Melena]

Sale's option exercised

Twins declined the options of Logan Morrison and Ervin Santana.

[Melena]

Goldschmidt's option picked up.

Soria and Moustakes declined their player options and are free agents.

Price chose to not opt out of his contract.

[Melena]

Posted also in celebrity death thread but Willie McCovey passed away today.

[Melena]

Kershaw redid his contract as a 3yr 93 million deal + incentives with no opt out with the Dodgers today.

Lorenzo Cain was completely fucking robbed.

If Olsen and Chapman didn't win for 1st and 3rd base in the AL, there would have been riots in the street. Cain seems to be the biggest omission from either side though.

Inciarte is pretty damn good. Possible Cain was better but I'd like to see some statistical backing

I thought fangraphs normally has a good gloves piece but i don't see one

The New York Yankees have reached an agreement to bring back veteran pitcher CC Sabathia on a one-year, $8 million deal, according to ESPN and multiple reports.

Bryce Harper rejected a long-term "aggressive offer" from the Washington Nationals on the last day of the 2018 season, The Washington Post reports.

The offer -- discussed at length throughout September with Harper and his agent, Scott Boras -- included no opt-outs and was less than the $400 million it was speculated Harper could receive, according to the Post.

Come get these pinstripes homie!

[Boyiee]

Come get these pinstripes homie!

Where do you put him though?

And are we going to trade away Stanton to the west coast?

[Xno Kappa]

1B would probably make the most sense since we resigned Gardy.
