9:20am: The two sides have a deal in place, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports (via Twitter). Milwaukee will send minor league right-hander Adam Hill and its Competitive Balance draft pick to Seattle in exchange for Narvaez. The Brewers’ pick lands in Round B this year and is currently slotted in at No. 71 overall.

i guess he's not a great defender, but that seems like not much for a cheap catcher who hit 22 homers with a 119 wRC+ last year

cool now all they need is a 3rd baseman and an entire starting rotation

Off the top of my head I can name Woodruff and the guy they traded to the Jays.

being a rays fan must be very frustrating. first of all, there's only like 30,000 of them, total, in the world. but beyond that, particularly for younger fans, it must be frustrating to watch them trade away talent like pham in order to avoid paying an $8M salary (what Pham is expected to get after arbitration). they're godhead from the management angle of getting young talent, keeping costs low and staying competitive with a very low payroll, but if you're a kid, you just want there to be a really good player that sticks around and that you connect with and spend a few years watching and getting to know a little. that was longoria for a long time, i guess, but in general they just seem like a hard team for a casual fan to root for

What's the largest contract for a player currently serving a suspension for PEDs?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 6 December 2019 17:19 (four years ago) link
Padres might not be great next year but they could pull a Royals and surprise people. Tatis will only be better, Machado too. Pham is real solid, Renfroe has power but doesn't walk much and doesn't hit for average.

Didi Gregorius signed by PHI (1 year/$14 million dollars)
I had no idea that he was a free agent OR that he had such an off-year with the stick. Damn, just when it looked like the Yanks finally had a good shortstop...
Zack Cozart and Will Wilson traded to SF; cash considerations to LAA

He came late to the season off TJ. 1/14 is a good pillow contract tbh and he should do well on philly

I can't begin to understand this. For a pitcher. Would have preferred re-upping Didi and Dellin, going after Ryu.
Hope he's bubble-wrapped and given an ankle bracelet / full-time chaperone

I know money is no object to the Yankees but holy shit that contract is nuts. Cole turns 30 next year and NY doesn't exactly seem suited to his talents
― frogbs, Wednesday, 11 December 2019 21:16 (four years ago) link
Cole has been incredible two years running and i would bet he'll continue to be incredible, though of course like almost every SP he's not a sure thing (arguably the only sure things among starting pitchers over the past decade have been Scherzer and Verlander, the latter only scuffling when he was hurting a few years back iirc). the length seems crazy but the Yanks do really want a reliable ace and not many are coming along.
― omar little, Wednesday, 11 December 2019 21:28 (four years ago) link
most likely but I doubt he'll have another year quite like what he had in Houston.
obviously the contract makes sense in that the Yankees window is very much now, iirc in the next 3 or 4 years Judge, Sanchez, Torres, Severino and Betances will all be FAs. still nuts to give any pitcher that sort of money, especially giving them the opt out clause in year 5. as good as Cole is you never knew how age is gonna affect a guy

hate to tell the mets but wacha is only going to pitch 73.2 innings in 2020 before his arm explodes
