2K22 Offseason Transactions

Matz to the Cards 4/$44M. Wow.

Is that a good wow or a bad wow? $11m/yr doesn't seem too out of whack for a mid-rotation starter, considering a journeyman reliever like Aaron Loup just got $7.5m/yr.

Bad wow. It's not the AAV, it's the years. Matz has really only been even a passable pitcher (> 1 WAR) twice and is more often sucking, injured, or both. I'd have preferred to offer him a higher AAV with fewer years, like one or maybe two. Pitching market seems to be very much en fuego right now, though.

Pirates re-sign 1B/OF Yoshi Tsutsugo for 1 year/$4 million.

Canha to the Mets. I'm guess Conforto is not coming back.

They landed Marte and Escobar too. With Marte, Canha, and Escobar on board, the offense should be pretty good. Not sure who gets bumped.

The Rays acquired 2B prospect Ronny Simon from the Diamondbacks for OF Jordan Luplow. Because the Rays needed another 2B prospect.

Dom Smith is now out of a FT job with no prospects for one on this team. JD Davis also appears to be on the outs. Also, Javy Baez's prospects for re-signing took a hit, barring any other moves the Mets may make.

Mariners acquire 2B/OF Adam Frazier from the Padres for LHP Ray Kerr and OF Corey Rosier.

Red Sox sign RHP Michael Wacha for 1 year/$7 million.

Hector Neris signs a 2-yr deal with the Astros

For $17 million. It still amazes me how much relief pitchers get paid. It just shows how much teams rely on them these days.

Blue Jays sign RP Yimi Garcia.

Blue Jays sign RP Yimi Garcia.

2 year, $11M. Hopefully he can regain his 2020 form & work in the 7th & 8th.
