Im beginning to think Kris Bryant will end up with the Mets. I could see Bryant staying with the Giants, SF seems ready to try to push all in after the surprise this year. They have an influx of young talent, add in a few vets and a solid #1 starter or two… Plus Bryant is a West Coast kid so I can see why he may want to stay there. Plus I can easily see the Mets spending all of their splurge money on resigning Baez. It would be an incredibly dumb decision imo but I think the presence of Lindor is going to sell the Mets on Baez. It’ll be interesting to see what he gets and what some of these other guys end up getting. I think between still recovering financially from no fans last season, teams not willing to part with draft picks for compensation, and a very large free agent class of guys looking for those 200-300 million dollar contracts (Baez, Freeman, Bryant, Schwarber, Scherzer, Verlander, Kershaw, Rizzo, etc…), a lot of these guys in the offseason aren’t going to get what they think they’re worth.

If the Mets bring back Baez, where would they put him? Robinson Cano is coming back and making $24 million.

I could see Mets trying to get rid of Cano or find some wiggle room out of his contract because of the PED suspension, idk who’d take him if they did try to trade but perhaps if the Universal DH rule that’s rumored to be coming to the NL comes through then it wouldn’t really matter.

I'm never a fan of "he's making $$$$ so he's gotta play." No, if there's a legitimate better option to help the team win, you do what you gotta do.

As in the Red Sox pitcher? Yes. Quite an overpay for a guy who just had a 4.74 ERA.

Correa with the nerve to say Jeter didnt deserve any of his gold gloves. Ironic coming from someone who doesn’t deserve his 2017 World Series title.
Yankees would be making the mistake of the century to sign this f**khead, any one who signs this idiot for the money he’s thinks he’s worth for is almost guaranteed to be a middle of the road team for the next decade.

Noah Syndergaard to Angels, $21 million Justin Verlander back to Astros, $25 million Heaney got $8 million and sucks. Thor and Verlander haven't pitched in 2 years.....Robbie Ray should get $50 million then. Dude just won the Cy Young. If people who haven't pitched in 2 years can get $21-$25 million....what are we doing here? This is pretty nuts.

At least Verlander is Verlander. And Syndergaard would’ve gotten 18 mil at worst with the Mets qualifying offer.

I thought Max Scherzer didn't want to pitch in New York. But, he may be heading to the Mets.

Maybe after buying the Pittsburgh Penguins, Red Sox ownership can find a few pennies in the couch to buy the team some pitching. I’m tired of hearing that they’re “in” on everybody, but don’t sign anybody.

How does Robbie Ray, the reigning AL Cy Young end up on Seattle for only 5 years, $115 million? That's an embarrassingly bad deal with so many contending teams looking for pitching.
This one's got me shook.
