I could see the Yankees offering Rizzo a coaching position. He's always seemed like a leader and a teacher. I could see him becoming a very good MLB manager in the future.
Jim, how about a little love for Kikuchi after you bagged on the Astros so hard for that trade??? Toronto clearly couldn’t see his potential and the Astros are 9-0 when kikuchi starts
Mets will definitely be in the market for an ace, but I’d say Burnes is a far more likely bet than Snell to be that guy. I’d also say that Pete is their priority at the right market price, and if they can’t re-sign him, they’ll almost certainly move Vientos back to 1st and pursue Bregman or Adames to play 3rd base.
Nice throw back shirt , Eddie & Cal two of the greatest at their positions … Great perspective on Ball 💯 Big Dodgers fan for 50+ years , enjoy your show.
personally, if the Yankees continue to ignore their issues with Pitching, i don't even care if they keep Soto because then what's the point. pitching is extremely important and they continue to act like it doesn't matter. i want them to keep Soto, but they NEED to address their pitching.
I agree the Giants will try to resign Blake Snell but I think realistically they’ll purse. Anthony Santander (4 years and north of $80 million?). They’d love Soto but they’ve had their hearts broken before
If the Mets don’t sign Soto they will sign Burnes… how do you miss that one!? Stearns signs his old ace to put this rotation over the top! Burnes and Senga is scary and barring a hopeful playoff splash for Pete he will be on his way out the door barring he takes a lot less money then he thought he would receive!
What in David Stearns background suggests that he is going to offer, not just a long term contract, but a long term contract that satisfies a Scott Boros client?
While Flaherty will be a Fine addition for some team, the Tigers main Need is an everyday Right handed Hitter, that could be slotted in the No. 2 spot in the Batting order. A player like Bregman to start the Season is more important to the Tigers. Their needs for more Pitching can be addressed during the Season or at the Trade deadline.
@@Lionsrno1tigers do need a right handed bat. also someone who runs bases well, and can play a few positions. thats why i think they’ll make a run at ha-seong kim
@@Lionsrno1 I was responding to Jim's suggestion that the Tigers should add another higher end SP and wondered why he didn't include Flaherty among the guys he mentioned.
@@colewernette4601 I understand with your accessment and a move like that will impact the Tigers. I just think that the Tigers are only a Big Bat away and signing a Veteran, while that isn't a guarantee of success, is important at this point in the Tigers development. Whoever they get, I hope they become a teammate that doesn't hamper the atmosphere of the Tigers clubhouse. Go Tigers
Tigers fan here. I agree a top end starter is a top priority....isnt there a young stud possibly being posted from Japan this off season? I don't recall his name, but I'd see if they can't get in on that sweepstakes
I wish the Yankees could get rid of Rodon, Stroman, DJ, Rizzo, and I am sure I am forgetting someone else, (Not Stanton) and get 2 good, elite pitchers.
For Mets Soto is a lot of money which handicap other areas to spend in. You can get Bregman and Burnes and resign Alonso and Manea ,All those together for the same amount of money for Soto. I prefer that route instead.
Why should the Tigers spend when the current system is working. Develop rookies to throw 50+ pitches and never have your pitchers face batters more than twice. Aj Hinch has revolutionized how pitching rotations operate.
The New York Yankees need to target Juan Soto first and foremost, get him re-signed and then go after infielders. We need 2 infielders. We need a first baseman and we need a second baseman once that’s all figured out then some bullpen arms but the only target that I need my team to absolutely get is Juan Soto resigned if we don’t win the World Series this season then signing Soto is an absolute must.
@@olliverklozov2789 Honestly for the O's he'd fit in perfect if we sadly lose burns. Grayson at the 1, Efflin at the 2, Fried at the 3, Kremer at the 4, and Povich/Suarez the 5. Once Braddish returns, you slid him at the top, and move everyone down a slot.
Have to disagree about the Red Sox rotation. You are the only one I know who thinks that they don't need to add an ace. Not sure if they will get it done, though.
Giants will not be going after a first baseman. Bryce Eldridge should be up next year, and even Farhan(who I assume won't be around next year, but point still stands) has said they don't want to block Eldridge. I think it is very likely they sign Ha-seong Kim since they need a middle infielder, and he's best friends with Jung-hoo Lee.
If you think SP is the main target for the Tigers, then you haven't paid enough attention to them. Next year it will be Skubal, Jobe, Montero, Mize, and Olson and that will probably be more than enough with the bullpen arms. Hinch has totally changed the SP game. What the Tigers need is more right handed hitting power, especially at 3B. Alex Bregman (especially with the relationship with Hinch) should be their number 1 target. Other than that, dump Baez.
I feel bad for the A's. I actually think their lineup is pretty good, at least their top 5. They should add a few relievers and probably a starter. All the moves they made just for the sake of spending money were horrible. Wood, Stripling, Diaz, etc. Signing a bum like Gallo or Soroka would be just throwing away money. With that said, I see it happening lol.
I think Fried goes to the west coast (he's a Cali kid) and I've got too many question marks around Buehler...I'd like Detroit to shoot for a sure thing.
The Angels HAVE TO sign Fried. He should be their #1, #1a, #1b target. If Moreno really wants to improve his team, then they should offer incentive laden 1 year deal to Buehler, too.
Maybe actually accomplish something before acting like that. Historically, since the 60s, teams are built from within the system AND from improvements found via trade and free agency. If you have money coming off the books and can afford to get a top starter, why wouldn't you? Just because you like Jackson Jobe, doesn't mean the rotation wouldn't be helped by spending money on a very good pitcher. Or spending to fill a hole in the lineup, or bullpen. Ask A's fans how not spending works out.
@@snerdterguson The Detroit Tigers have rebuilt from within And improvements via Trade or free agency are upcoming this off-season. While Pitching is Usually the main target, in the Tigers case, a Right handed Hitter with power that can play everyday is a must to compliment this young Team.

5/125? I’ve never been more sure of anything than that Burnes is getting more than that. There would be 18 teams in on him at that price
The Brewers would have kept him if they could’ve resigned him for 5/125. It’ll be more like 5/200 or 6/240
Jim, how about a little love for Kikuchi after you bagged on the Astros so hard for that trade??? Toronto clearly couldn’t see his potential and the Astros are 9-0 when kikuchi starts
Fair point, in the AL West that trade made alot of sense to me
I’m a jays fan and this trade rn is fair
9-1
Nah you gave up a boatload of prospects for a number 3 starter at best that you probably won't even have back next year

Well done. Good research.
best channel jim love watching the offseason videos i like to see what one with what the lineup and pitching rotation you think would look like
What in David Stearns background suggests that he is going to offer, not just a long term contract, but a long term contract that satisfies a Scott Boros client?
I can definitely see pivetta to the cardinals. It helps Bloom traded for him previously and is now taking on an expanded role in st louis
The Detroit Tigers should target a Right handed hitter with Power. Alex Bergman at third would be a great addition.
Why not the Tigers bring back Flaherty??

As a tigers fan yes we do need another bona fide starter but some right handed power would be at the top of the list imo
If David Rubinstein is ready to change the paradigm for the Orioles' spending, I believe Corbin Burnes will stay in Baltimore.

Rodon actually had a decent year, Stroman good 1st half whore down in second half. Rizzo out the door.
You might have to settle for Poteet and then Burnes as a free agent.
Verdugo, grisham, cortes, trevino

Sasaki will not be available until maybe next offseason
Why should the Tigers spend when the current system is working. Develop rookies to throw 50+ pitches and never have your pitchers face batters more than twice. Aj Hinch has revolutionized how pitching rotations operate.
That can still work with Skubal and Burnes covering 2 fifths of the rotation.
What a stupid stance to take lmao. "no we don't want another ace in our rotation"
What about the Cubs? I thought that even if Cody Bellinger opts in they’ll have like $87M available in the off season?
What you think the Reds will do now with Tito as the manager
Can’t see the giants targeting Alonso. They’ve been so aggressive with Eldridge. I think they’re giving him the keys at first next year
I thought stripling salary was paid by San Fran? How does that work? San Fran pays and A’s get the credit on their payroll?

You have 2 second baseman candidates in minors.
Juan Soto is trying to be a Dodger. Fortunately for you guys, the Dodgers don't care to deal with Boras
@@stevenbeshures6962 how much is too much for Soto? What your breaking point?
jazz could play 2nd.. go and get a 3rd baseman
Note that I HAVE accounted for estimated Arbitration figures AND options that are likely to be picked up or declined to get to these numbers.
But did you show your work?
Any reason you didn’t place Max Fried as a target for the teams needing pitching?
I think he believes, or has stated in past vids, that would be an Orioles target.
one Jays youtuber called Fried a 3 or 4 starter who wouldn't cost much ??? He would be our ace hands down.

Yankees need to add an offensive player that is elite versus left-handed pitching.

You missed Burnes specislly eith the Stearns conection.
Jim how about a Yankee/Blue Jay trade, Vald Guerrero for Stroman.
Well done, Jim. Dont think the Cardinals go for a position player. Agree their player development has been trash.
What about the Cubs? I believe they have a lot of money out of books also. If Cody opts out they will have even more money to spend under luxury tax
After arbitration and options that will be picked up, the Cubs are around 25M coming off the books
Aaron Judge to first base fixes first base and the outfield
Let verdugo walk, bring up, Dominguez, s jones
Does Chapman not come off san fran is he not signed for one year ?

You’re buggin fam on the Blake snell mets target. Not happening. The kid from Japan is high on their board tho if he comes out
your list is incomplete wheres the astros?
He said top ten. So they are outside the top ten.
Evoldi is a ranger for life bud no point of putting him on this list
Tigers need to add a bat
Yankees have 88 mil + 36 mil (Cole can op out at age 34), maybe they let him walk?
He might want to. But if Yankees add a year he cant. If they do allow it. Any team will definitely want him.
Hoping the Cardinals can offload Arenado.

@@lurkinginshadows1141 that's not going to happen lol
The Tigers were still paying Miguel Cabrera?
The Mets still have another decade before they are finished paying Bobby Bonilla.
Guy should do some more research. Cards have already said they are cutting salaries. So, no free agents for them.
If the Yankees lose the World Series, Soto will be a Met.
And where now are here
Elle DLC will go OF some day soon
Max fried not a top 3 target for anyone?
U the goat Jim, hoping to sse some raw opinions from you
Dodgers should heavily target Max Fried
I'm a White Sox fan, they should target Mark Cuban as owner...
That actually sounds intriguing!

Great vlog. I ❤️ the creativity with the NYY infield. I only with the Yankees had a GM that was similarly creative. 🫤
