2019-20 Offseason Transaction Thread

[virgonomic]

agreed on the first point ... I'd put Thornton is as the #5 tho

The way he finished the season, I projected him to be our Opening Day starter. I think he will slot in at #2 eventually.

Ryu to the Jays 4/80

Of course, this totally changed the landscape. Shoemaker pitched well enough to be a #2 last year but he's a ? right now. Anderson/Roark seem better suited to #3-4.

Yamaguchi could earn an additional $1.4 million in innings pitched incentives. The 32-year-old posted a 2.91 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 188/60 K/BB ratio ratio across 170 innings for the Yomiuri Giants last season. He will compete for a spot in the Blue Jays' rotation.

Japanese star OFer Shogo Akiyama to the Reds on a 2 year deal. I guess this squeezes Jesse Winker out of a job?

All of this means that the Twins aren't getting anyone of consequence, because all starter values have now shot up to the point where they won't pay.

Like Rich Hill and Homer Bailey?

Like Rich Hill and Homer Bailey?

Do you consider your DL spots consequential?

[Hornsby]

Like Rich Hill and Homer Bailey?

Exactly...Hill isn't slated to pitch before late June...if ever. And Bailey is Homer Bailey...at best an innings eater. Blech...horrible.

[madducks]

Bailey has two no-hitters on his resume. So there's that.
