hey at least the Giants got Arson Judge

It sucks that the LCS' are going to be Rangers/Yankees and Phils/Mets for the next 9 years. Or is that not how big contracts to olds usually work out?

Lol yanks

On Monday, shortstop Trea Turner agreed to an 11-year, $300 million deal with the Phillies, giving the defending NL champions another offensive weapon. However, Philadelphia’s offer doesn’t appear to have been Turner’s biggest offer.

The New York Post’s Jon Heyman reports the Padres had an offer on the table for Turner for $342 million overall. That number is notable, since Francisco Lindor is currently the highest paid shortstop ever at $341 million with the Mets.

San Diego originally drafted Turner in the first round of the 2014 draft, but traded him that offseason to the Nationals in a three-team deal. Padres general manager A.J. Preller was hired a few months after Turner was drafted, but he did make the trade in the winter.

Padres: Shut up and take our money!

Judge/Turner: No thanks.

crads signed a cubs castoff to replace yadi.

lol crads

Nope. That is still forever lol #mycubbies #dynasty for not trading him.

The Cubs got tired of paying Heyward $23M/yr to OPS .600, so they decided to pay him $23M this year to just go away and then pay an additional $17M for Cody Bellinger to OPS .600 instead. Some real galaxy brain stuff going on with this front office. They also let Contreras walk for nothing with no apparent plan for replacing him and aren't seriously pursuing any elite pitching. The fanbase is going to riot if they don't get one of the big shortstops at this point, so I'm getting worried they're going to massively overpay for Swanson if he ends up being the last one available.

Xander 11/280 to Pads. And he gets a no trade clause wow lol

Lol cheating Astros only winner so far in offseason by getting Abreu and not locking in for 300mil for Xander, etc.

Love Xander but that's nuts. Wonder where he'll even play for them given that they've got a really good defensive SS. With his power declining the last few years they might end up with 8 years of a slap hitting albeit good OBP 2nd baseman

Still lol Red Sox for continually lowballing their own stars until they hit the open market

Pretty sure the Astros know a lot more about running their team than any of us do

Brandon Nimmo stays with Meets on 8 year $162M deal.

Mets projected payroll is above $300M after latest signings, could face $65M tax bill.

I meant to relay that the Astros are the biggest winner so far, if they get Christian Vazquez back it is a lock.

Well the giants suck but at least they’re gonna get judge

well they didn’t get judge but at least they’ll get Nimmo

Well Correa’s there and they’re all in

Correa has an mvp ceiling and he's still sloping upward unlike judge. Dude just has to stay healthy.

Well, on behalf of the fans' $$$$$, owners laid out lots of money so far this off season.

But, owners have been pretty good so far in predicting what the fan market will bear, which seems to be anything basically..

As a Jays fan I am happy the NYY went all in on Judge....

Looks like the Yankees are closing in on correa

**** my life. I’m really gonna live in a world where the giants lose rodon and their splash free agent signing is haniger

All the fun coupons.

I'm McLovin it!

The Astros lost a Cy Young pitcher, right?

Doesn’t count cuz he’s old.

Now I'm hearing that the Mets are interested in Correa, who would move to 3rd base if he were to join the Mets.

Insider Trader Money can not get spent fast enough!!!

Giants reportedly sign Correa to 13/350M

Congrats SRM.

Yayyyyyyy

I will take it
