You just can’t trust anything this baseball operations team says. The soler move was intriguing, but this makes no sense. How is Hendricks any different than Canning? Aside from his World Series experience, but when you don’t have it anymore what really is the difference??? I’d like to know. I’ll wait until the offseason is over to fully judge it but they continue to bring in fringe below league average players and try and sell us on it.
Hendricks will be 35. Another Halo reclamation project. They could have just kept Johnny Cueto.
What do you guys think of my GM offseason transactions?
DIFFERENCE MAKERS
SP – B Snell – 5 years 155-165 Million
SP – Shinnosuke Ogasawara – 3 Years 39 Million
(Needs to prove MLB transition)
Gio Urshela – 2 Years 8-10 Million
(Needs comeback year. Good utility 1st/3rd back up with contact)
SUPPLEMENTAL
Travis d'Arnaud – 2 Years 6 Million
Carlos Esteves – 2 Years 12-14 Million
(Good leader. Makes us much deeper)
TRADE –
(A 1 year Salary Dump)
Tyler Anderson, 5 Million Eaten, + Thaiss or Stephanic for Red Sox Prospect C – Kyle Teel.
OR
Tyler Anderson + Niko Kavadas for SF Giants Prospect C – Yohendry Sanchez
– 2.5 Million for Hendricks
Remaining $$ Can/Should be enough to cover the impending risks/waivers/1 year deals we're bound to see.
Thanks guys!
Basically we got Soler for free.
