So who do you believe Chuck or Jon Morosi?

Are you calling your shot, Chuck?

Yup. If my source is wrong I’ll eat it and take the heat meat. But I feel good about this.

That said competition has stepped up to the table. It will be a battle. Let’s see if Arte has the $$$ and nads.

To be fair @bloodbrother Arte is poised to load up. Unlike past years.

With Scherzer and Gausman off the table, I'm sure Ray's market will pick up quickly. I'm trusting Chuck here. I think it happens in next day or so still, right before the deadline.

I certainly hope so. It is time

So Max is getting somewhere between 3/126 and 4/168 from the Mets? Insanity. I'd assume there would be some deferred money, or some sort of options or protection for that year 3 and 4. Good for Max though he's a fucking bull dog.

Normally, if trust Morosi, but @Chuckster70has put his ass on the line here and has even doubled down using AW Twitter. In his set of shoes, you have nothing to gain by doing this and everything to lose, and you don't do that without legitimate belief in what you're reporting. 

I'll go with Chuck on this one. 

Plus....

Ray, Castillo, Syndergaard, Ohtani, Sandoval, and Suarez.... Playoffs.

If the Ranges pair Seager with Semien, do they have the money to also bring in Ray?

I'd rather have re-signed Cobb or spent that money of Iglesias..... Maybe Arte is ready to spend!

Why Lorenzen and not Cobb?

I had the same question.  I’m confused with this one unless it’s to stack up for a trade maybe?

...to a one-year deal, just like Lorenzen.  Same pattern as the last few years.
