Transactions:
December 7th - Bidding war for the second baseman... but RHSP Aaron Nola(28, 5*) jumped on a 4y/$76M contract with the Rangers with a player opt-out after year four! Fan interest is through the roof... and we lost our first round pick!

In Other News:

December 7th – The Diamondbacks just signed LF Michael Conforto(28, 5*) for a 6y/$138M deal with a opt out after the 2025 season. He is a 4x All-Star and the 2019 NL Silver Slugger.

December 7th – And the free agent frenzy kicked into overdrive today as the Phillies replaced Aaron Nola with LHSP Clayton Kershaw(33, 5*) who signed on a 4y/$127.8M contract. He is a 3x Cy Young, 1x NL MvP, 1x NL Gold Glover and 11x All-Star.

December 7th – Aand last but not least, C Buster Posey(34, 4.5*) will work for the Boston Red Sox for 4y/$83M. He is a 9x All-Star, 4x Silver Slugger, 2010 NL RotY, 2016 NL GG and 2012 NL MvP.

December 9th – The free agent market is moving fast as the Mets replaced Conforto with 4x Gold Glover, 2019 AL All-Star and 2019 World Series winner CF Byron Buxton(27, 4*). The superstar signed on a 7y/$156.8M deal.

December 9th – And the World Series champs joined the fray by signing 1B Freddie Freeman(32, 4.5*) on a 5y/$170.5M deal. The 6x All-Star and 2019 NLDS MvP makes the Yankees a juggernaut.

December 14th – Habemus draft pick. The Detroit Tigers accelerated a rebuild(...) by signing SP Corey Kluber(35, 3.5*) for 3y/$45.6M. The 2x AL Cy Young winner and 5x All-Star made a curious choice as the Tigers lost 85+ games for the last five years.

Winter Meetings... Hotel Room in Florida

So, the latest update is that Nola will be ready for a rehab assignment in mid-late April, and we will have at least three years of him. I fully expect him to opt out of his contract, but I did not want to sign him for a longer deal with his elbow in a cast and in pieces... he needed to sign the contract with his left hand for **** sake.

Trevino is mulling over a bloody 4y/$62M deal... and it would be nice if he would sign soon so that we can do some nice roster moves.

"How about one of the relievers from the free agent pool? There is a ton of closers around," Mozeliak wanted to make some good old baseball moves and he would love us to drop some $10+M per year on a veteran reliever... we got enough of those in my opinion.

"I want to see what happens with Trevino first. We don't have unlimited money. However, go to the usual teams and look for prospects, value players. I don't expect a lot but try. Focus on second baseman." - " In the Trevino skill range?" - "Yes."
