When we find out how much he got we will be fine not signing him for that amount.

Logically yes, although it sounds like they will shift him over to 2B.

Perhaps we will see teams begin trading now. That might be fun.

When I was a kid I was excited to go to blockbuster to get a video game I always wanted. 
When they didn’t have the game I wanted I would always get a random game just for the sake of it because I didn’t want to walk away empty handed.
The game always sucked and I always regretted it. That’s the best way I can describe missing out on Dansby Swanson.

Probably?  Lol.  It wouldn't shock me if Grissom put up offensive numbers that are relatively close to Swanson next season.

The price of winning is that your players have played well, and thus, earned big contracts.  This leads to a lot of tough decisions, and that is likely why you see the Braves, Dodgers, Astros, etc have to pick and choose who they want to keep or who they want to let go.  The majority, though, seem to be let go.

the fact that the braves didn't even try to re-sign Swanson should tell you all you need.

now, perry wake up and improve the BP!

Angels Twitter fans are funny.  They’re seriously shocked we haven’t made a bunch of other moves

It's very much a "what have you done for me lately" kind of world.  Minasian made a bunch of moves early, more than anyone else, but since he hasn't done much in a few weeks, he is now viewed as lazy lol.

He has done a good job.  We still have some needs left, but there are 2 months left to address it.

Vidal Brujan is the missing piece
