This is my favorite video that you put out every year! One thing I’ll point out is that I doubt the Cubs will have a rotation of Snell, Imanaga, Wood, Steele (all lefties) unless Wood is bullpen
I don’t think starting pitching staffs being full of lefties or righties solely is that big of a deal. Teams set their lineups based on the starting pitcher, lefty or righty it doesn’t really matter that much to have all of one hand in the rotation.
I understand your a Cubs fan but I'm praying we trade Nick Cas our no3 pitching prospect and suck up one of your one year horrible contracts two years if NES for Suzuki I forget the name of that piching prospect u got been there I think 3 years and I like wood thought he was underperforming in SF guys got good stuff when healthy but getting older
1000% respect the 1987 Topps aesthetic. Throwback to classic more unique days and I love the wood-esque border. Has been and will always be my favorite Topps card design
Clearly you just didn't like the Yankees if you know baseball Yankees stadium is great for a hitter like bellinger because you really can't make an educated argument by what you just said 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
@@MrUnik88Yankees are clearly on a decline, it’s not a great place to play morale wise, and the Cubs are on the rise with the addition of one of the best managers in baseball. Why would he ever choose the Yankees over the Cubs?
@MrUnik88 Yeah idk about that one, especially with all the junk Cashman's been saying. I don't think they get anymore than one reasonable name on the market this year. Besides, Soto would be a better bet for you guys anyways.
Yeah I think Mo knows his head would be on a pike if he signs a load of washed up middling pitchers again And as much as I would love to see him back with the birds on the bat there is no room for Wong
@@Emmathelady Fellow Giants fan here, I don't like the idea of the Giants signing Chapman. We have J.D. Davis who put up similar offensive numbers to Chapman this year and plays better defense. That move to me makes no sense. I think more than anything the Giants need more starting quality starting pitching. Personally am hoping the Giants can sign Yamamoto. As for a bat, as much as I am not a fan of the idea, I think Bellinger is probably the better target. Zaidi has demonstrated he prefers more defense and our outfield defense was awful. Bellinger can also hit for power though is streaky.
My predictions as an Astros fan (only talking about Astros free agents) - Brantley: hangs up the cleats. Maldonado: White Sox, to be that veteran stopgap until Quero gets the call up (Lee has been awful for them) Neris: Rangers. He wants to go to a contender, he's not going to Washington. Stanek: Arizona Diamondbacks Maton: I actually agree with your Reds pick Who i want to sign: Jordan Hicks, Brent Suter, Adam Duvall, and David Peralta. Also a trade for Kyle Higashioka from the NYY to be the backup catcher.
love the use of the 1987 Topps Set , literally the most overproduced year of any Topps Set and they tried so hard to bring back the look of '61 on the wood paneling.
as a diamondbacks fan if we sign half of those guys that is such a waste of money we only want turner, a starting pitcher like bauer, bullpen help like some of the players listed, and a power LF bat
Very interesting predictions. I too, am a huge Mets fan and boy do I hope you're right about Teoscar and I hope Sho-time comes to Queens. I'm just wondering what you base these on? Not in a bad way just curious
The Orioles should really go for Yamamoto. They need starting pitching and they have a roster of young guys. I mean he's the best young starting pitcher on the market. Feels like a no brainer but they don't like spending money.
So far the only ones right Shota Imanaga - Cubs Jung-hoo Lee - Giants Joe Kelly - Dodgers Kevin Kiermaier - Blue Jays Cutch - Pirates Ohtani - Dodgers Hunter Renfroe - Royals
As a met fan, obviously I want someone like shohei…but if we sign guys to really round out our roster, I’ll very happy. Personally, I want Yoshi Yamamoto, Brent Suter, David Robertson, Jake Diekman, Soler OR Teoscar, Justin Turner, and another SP
Love Soler to the Jays. As a jays fan I’d love to keep Kiermaier but I can’t see a world where Varsho isn’t the CF in 2024 and you won’t use kiermaier in a bench or corner OF role. Best defender in baseball by OAA and we dealt our top prospect to get him. I think you have to use him where his value is maxed. Seems like a really bad fit for 2024
@@ssarmazi”good defensive outfielder” is understating it bro. He’s the best defensive outfielder in baseball and Moreno was literally worse than Varsho last year
@@jesussalcido6628Morosi said today that he heard from someone that Shohei was intrigued about playing for the Braves but it would have to be a super high one year AAV deal
Man, that's a lot of players past their prime going to the Angels. Flaherty, Hill,, Franmil Reyes, JD Martinez, etc. That sounds like a nightmare, which means you're probably not far off.
My Twins announced that because of TV deal stuff they are slashing the 2024 payroll so I feel like they will just do nothing and throw all their eggs in the "our young talent will come up and save us" basket. It's the Pohlad way.
@@heffe Lance Lynn would be a good sign assuming he can bounce back to his older self and if we are bad again we can flip for another cole ragans type of deal.
@jmoneymaker96 The main thing I want to see is the Royals sign Bobby Witt Jr. to a long-term contract. That is what I'm most worried about, but hopefully, we have a good off-season besides that.
So far with the Cardinals Sonny Gray: Goes to the cardinals Aaron Nola: First guy to make his move, stays with Phillies, Rest of guys: haven't gone to the cards
Ohtani is obviously between the Dodgers and Giants. It just depends if we wants to win so bad he joins a super team or he wants to be the star on a team and make them better
@@a.a677 this is too late because ohtani went to the dodgers but the giants have no superstars and have quite a lot of money to spend and could build around ohtani unlike the angels also the giants almost made the playoffs without any superstar’s
Halfway through this video and the White Sox are getting 2 first baseman, 1 guy who they DFA’d in May, a journeyman 2nd baseman, and a bum reliever. I won’t see day 1 of the season if that actually happens as I won’t survive that.
Both Pham and Soler don't make sense. The braves have Acuna, Harris, and Ozuna from the Braves. Rosario left, yes, but those two guys are gonna want to be everyday players. Plus, d'Arnaud or Murphy DH when the other plays catcher.
Yea kike isnt coming back to boston even if they gave him the most money nor do i think he would a be a fit back on that roster the only reason i see them signing kike is to get jt back bc they are bffs ig
And that’s why despite a moderate rebuild the mets will sign every big free agent
and win 2024 World Series
I mean Steve Cohen will spent

Was going through the mariners signings and was thinking "wow thats underwhelming", which made me realize you absolutely nailed it
As a Pirates fan, Duvall would make me cry tears of pure joy
Domingo German to the team he threw a perfect game against is amazing
With Bob Melvin in at manager the giants should have no trouble landing some free agents, and he also has ties to international ones.
1000% respect the 1987 Topps aesthetic. Throwback to classic more unique days and I love the wood-esque border. Has been and will always be my favorite Topps card design
Marc: Cubs add all lefty starters in Snell, Wood, & Imanaga to add to Steele, Wicks & Smyly.
I like the all lefty approach 😆
Like your videos!!
I can see Cubs signing Snell, but not the other 2 guys. I think he was putting names in a paper bag and pulling them out
I think the Cubs go after Snell but push harder for Yamamoto. Chapman made sense but we would need that offense and bullpen help especially.
I always look forward to this vid every year!!
Rich Hill already played with the Angels! he didn't record a single out but he pitched in two games in 2014 LOL
I love the optimism that every single free agent is going to sign but I wish you also predicted the guys that will end up unsigned or in Japan
Bellinger to the Yankees would be the biggest mistake he’ll make

Aaron Nola- Phillies
Jordan Montgomery- Rangers
Cody Bellinger- Cubs
Sonny Gray- Cardinals
Matt Chapman- Giants
Jorge Soler- Marlins
Eduardo Rodriguez- Orioles
Clayton Kershaw- Dodgers
Jung Hoo Lee- Mariners
Mitch Garver- Rays
ERod to the O's makes too much sense. They actually drafted him back in the day before trading him for Andrew Miller.

Jorge Solar on the Blue Jays, that’s what I like to see! How much do you think he’ll get paid?
Around 15-18 million a year
2 year, 32mill total my guess
Every year Marc gives the Astros the worst players and thinks we aren’t resigning anyone. Hector Neris is an Astro
Been waiting for this video long time😊
I would absolutely love it if the blue jays managed to get Jorge soler
0-8 so far is actually crazy
Getting Kimbrel would be the worst day of my life
We had to much pain as Phillies fans this year
Always look forward to this video every year
My favourite video every offseason. Love to see it!
Marc your Red Sox predictions are outrageous

The owner won’t pay what it’ll cost
They won’t not enough money
Orioles won’t do anything but make a trade and sign a washed pitcher
So far the only ones right
Shota Imanaga - Cubs
Jung-hoo Lee - Giants
Joe Kelly - Dodgers
Kevin Kiermaier - Blue Jays
Cutch - Pirates
Ohtani - Dodgers
Hunter Renfroe - Royals

Probably has more to do with the owner being pretty cheap
Probably for being cheap
Michael Fulmer,Tommy La Stella, Ryan Stanek, Vince Velazquez. Checking all these guys u said that are going to sign with my Rangers.
