Realmuto to the Phillies!!!! Phillies trade Sixto Sanchez, Jorge Alfaro, Will Stewart and int'l bonus pool money to the Marlins for all-star C J.T. Realmuto. J.T. is under team control for 2 years and is very cheap. $2.5M-$3M in 2019. Would not have traded Sixto. Obviously prospects are prospects, and nobody should be untouchable, but I had such high hopes for him, man. Maybe something came up with his injury issues that has the Phils concerned, in which case, the trade is a lot less scary for me. |

I’d rather have a proven player that’s top 3 at his position than a 20 year old pitcher that already has injury issues. |

Fair trade, Philly is just working on getting into the playoffs after being irrelevant for 7 years. Nationals are such a weird team, with or without Bryce they likely won't compete. I'm confused by the Mets but they're definitely trying to make a push. Miami, non-factor, and Atlanta has a lot to prove. Still most people's favourites to win, but Philly and the Mets should eat into their wins a bit and make the race a bit more competitive.
I also don't think Philly just shipped off Sixto to the fish because of that (see Colin Rea). Just having trouble letting go to the prospect. I understand that. I'm glad the Marlins held out and this saga is behind us. Seems like it will work for everyone.

Jacoby Ellsbury hurt already. Some how suffered a foot injury before even reporting to Spring Training. Won't report for at least a few weeks, if at all.
Most predictable news ever.

Sounds about like the Wizards' John Wall. Out for a foot injury, fell at home, and blew up the Achilles in his other foot. |

Yanks sign Luis Severino to a 4 year $44 million dollar extension that includes a option for a 5th year at $15 million. Severino for 4/$40 or 5/$55 is a STEAL for the Yankees.
He could have gone back to arbitration next year and gotten $20 million if he continues to pitch like he has been pitching.

You can argue maybe a little inconsistent but really, he is young and primed for a good career at that dollar amount. I wonder if there's any relation to a handful of players signing deals (Nola, Merrifield, Polanco, Kepler) to avoid drawn out contract negotiations or the possibility of salaries trending down? |

It's probably all just internet jibber jabber, but I don't understand why Harper or Machado would even CONSIDER the Padres. If the Padres really offered Machado an 8 year deal worth $240-$260, but maybe the Phillies offered 6-7 in the neighborhood of $220-$240....are you going to waste 3-4 years of your career in San Diego for an extra maybe $20-$30 million before they trade him to dump the contract? Same thing with Chicago White Sox.
The Chicago White Sox or San Diego Padres could sign Manny Machado and STILL be a last place team. Is he going to close that 25.5 game out of first place gap for the Padres or 29 game out of first place gap for the White Sox?
I've never had anybody throw ANY type of money at me, but as a competitive baseball player, I can't fathom putting yourself in an almost permanent LAST PLACE situation JUST for money.
Because if the Padres or White Sox sign Machado or Harper, it's going to be JUST like what happened with Stanton with the Marlins and Cano with the Mariners....a handful of last place finishes before the team decides they want out of the contract and the player is traded.
When we are talking about a contract exceeding $220 million, it's not worth it to go to a crappy team for an extra $20-$40, IN MY OPINION. I'd rather WIN!

Both should sign with Philly right this minute. Then Trout. |

According to the experts the Padres have one of the best farm systems in the league. So yes I would consider the long term there. Think Verlander with the Astros. Worked great for him and the team.

I've said all along that Machado should go to Philly and Harper should just go back to the Nats. I can't believed he turned down a 10 year deal worth $300 million. That's just disrespectful. |

The White Sox also have a top farm system as well and they play in the weakest division. They could be one piece away from being a playoff contender. |

the worst thing that happened to Harper was the fact that the Nats offered 10/300 and he turned it down
it set the bar way too high and he was never gonna get it from anyone else.

How many years do we think before the Padres trade him in a salary dump? I'll say 4.
