The kids have another week left of their break for the holidays, and I am definitely not counting those days down like it’s a posting window for a Japanese star … I appreciated reading an actual human translation of Tatsuya Imai’s comments about the posting process, which we discussed yesterday , and which concludes this Friday, January 2 at the latest.

Gonna try to ACCOMPLISH A LOT today. Just feels like one of those Saturdays. Best of luck to you if you decide to do the same … (this is a subliminal message for Jed) … We mostly focus on free agent starting pitching around here these days because (1) there are still several impactful starters available and they WILL sign at some point, (2) the Tatsuya Imai posting deadline is just a week away , and (3) there was a little flurry of starting pitcher trades and the prices looked kinda nut...

There is perhaps no pitcher who has seen his name surface in trade rumors more over the last five years than Sandy Alcantara. Practically from the day he inked his five-year, $56 million extension, speculation swirled as to when the miserly Marlins ownership group would look to get out from under the rest of the […]

Christopher Morel is staying in Florida, just switching sides of the peninsula. The Miami Marlins are inking Morel to a one-year deal, and perhaps the most interesting part is where they plan to play him.

It’s an unfortunate and familiar story. Giancarlo Stanton misses a considerable amount of time with injury during the regular season.

Even after Shota Imanaga accepted his one-year, $22M qualifying offer last week, the Chicago Cubs are expected to pursue another front-half-of-the-rotation starting pitcher this offseason.
