i expect Goldschmidt to start winning All-Star elections at 1B, as Redbird Nation will vote often for such a towering, boring hunk of white manmeat.

pirates shed salary -- shocking, i know -- by sending ivan nova to the white sox

pirates will apparently fill that hole in their staff by signing jordan lyles, a right-hander with a career WAR of -3.3

am surprised they pulled the trigger on doing that! essentially paying 38 million to free up a roster spot.

I know the club's happy to get rid of him, but they don't to actually thank him for leaving--that's a little much.
― clemenza, Tuesday, 11 December 2018 23:42 (five years ago) link
tbf i saw a quote from tulo's agent being grateful -- he said shapiro et al were very professional about everything and that it's much better for his client to be cut loose now than at the end of spring training or something
i mean it's kind of insulting, but he still gets paid, and will have more fun playing somewhere where he's wanted (assuming he can ever stay healthy)

nice to see from tampa
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 12 December 2018 21:25 (five years ago) link
yeah i don't think they've ever had a $15m/yr player before.
also that seems like an extremely team-friendly deal for a guy projected to put up 3+ WAR next year (only marginally less than patrick corbin's projection). that no reputed contenders offered something better seems like a bad sign

all else equal, i'd much rather have santana. but i don't know either system's prospect/depth situation
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 13 December 2018 17:21 (five years ago) link
they each have a 3 year, $60 million contract (2017-19 for encarnacion, 2018-20 for santana), with a one year team option that seems unlikely to be exercised at the end (25.5M for encarnacion, 17.5M for santana)
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 13 December 2018 17:23 (five years ago) link
oh, edwing's 2020 is a team option while santana's is guaranteed, so that makes sense for seattle

wait, there's more to it. it's a three-team deal, with the rays

mariners send high five to raysrays wave back to mariners
i don't understand how that's a three-team trade, rather than just the indians making two different trades at the same time, but ken rosenthal says it's true so

@CoreyBrockMLBSeattle GM Jerry Dipoto, who was out sick Wednesday, was taken to a nearby hospital as a precaution.@JeffPassanToday’s three-way trade with the Mariners, Indians and Rays is the first from-a-hospital Winter Meetings deal since 2006, when the inimitable Jim Hendry locked in Ted Lilly’s four-year, $40M free agent contract while on a gurney being wheeled in to the OR to have an angioplasty.

i was like "uh ok is this even news" until i remembered that the phillies, cards, and nats are not all, in fact, the same team, but distinct National League teams with the same colors. i will never not mix these three teams up until i die and i hate it when someone moves from one of them to the other because i get confused
