2019-20 Offseason Transaction Thread

Cishek's a very nice signing by the White Sox. Much as I hate giving the Orioles credit for anything, getting Iglesias on that deal is really smart.

Cubs are so pathetic that they wouldn't top that.

I agree that $6 million for a capable backup closer is a bargain these days.

They are waiting for dollar days.

Stars and scrubs seems to be the plan.

Another cagey LHP in SF. He's going on 31 but he still strikes people out. If they can get the control issues under control he can be an innings eater.

I'm not touching him with a stick.

this has a Steve Carlton feel to it. I'd love for him to come back and be successful, but after watching the last few years I'm doubtful. Hard to believe he is only 34

It's always hard to believe how fast players age.

HQ Baseball Forecaster has his last two years R$ value at -10 and -8.

they project -7 for 2020, before the signing - and really find no nugget of hope in the peripherals.

my typical answer is nominate him early to drain some units from the pool - but in almost any format, you risk being the cricket-eer in this case.

It's not the age, it's the mileage.

Ozuna to the Braves -- 1 year/$18 million. Surprised he didn't get a multi-year deal but could be betting on himself and thinking he can put up big numbers in that lineup (which seems plausible) and get a bigger deal next offseason. Very nice get by the Braves.
