Off Season Moves Thread

[whocaresgobobcats]

Funniest transaction of the offseason?

The Red Sox claimed right-hander Sandy Rosario off of waivers from the Athletics, the teams announced. The move opens up a spot on Boston's 40-man roster, which now includes 39 players.

This is the second time this offseason that the Red Sox have claimed Rosario off of waivers. They claimed him from Miami on October 17th then traded him to Oakland for a player to be named later (later announced as Graham Godfrey) or cash considerations on November 28th. The A's designated Rosario for assignment two days after acquiring him from Boston.

Rosario, 27, pitched in four games for this year's Marlins team, but spent most of the season in the minor leagues. He posted a 1.99 ERA with 8.2 K/9 and 1.4 BB/9 in 31 2/3 total innings for three of Miami's affiliates.

Bauer to the Indians.

D-Backs are stupid. Gregorius is a solid prospect, but not worth Bauer IMO.

They were really at odds with Bauer all last season. Wanted him to make adjustments that he refused to make. Soured on him slightly. Could be good value for Cleveland if he's willing to adjust.

They still have Skaggs and Corbin. Not to mention Cahill, Kennedy, McCarthy, and Hudson. None of them are over 30. They traded a position of strength.

Market is spiraling out of control. Average to slightly above average Joe's are getting paaaaid. Baseball needs to step in, somehow. And I am not talking salary cap.

Pretty well murders the baseball is dead narrative, thankfully

His numbers are comparable to Grienke's the last three years.

Statistically, there are some similarities..

But overall it is apples to oranges.

Haven't looked at the stats yet but how so

Different pitchers, different styles. When Anibal earns a Cy Young it will be comparible. Greinke has 5 seasons of over 200 innings. Anibal has zero.

He is a good solid pitcher, I've always liked Edwin. Surprised he hasn't been signed. Lot of value in a guy like him.

Agreed. Seems like he always gets shorted in free agency. No one ever wants to commit to him. Idk?
