2K21 Offseason Transactions Thread

[Todd Zola]

The players association turned down expanded playoffs earlier this week, didn't they? Of course, MLB can always increase their offer, but I honestly don't see them settling when they're already bracing for the next labor war...

If they could somehow sign a deal before THIS season starts, all of that is good.

Yes, but the MLBPA wasn't going to accept the first offer. It's a negotiation. I don't see how they won't settle.

We'll know soon enough (hopefully).

And the Yankees sign Darren O'Day to fill Ottavino's role. Didn't see details.

Steven Matz traded to TOR for Sean Reid-Foley, Yennsy Diaz & Josh Winckowski, which means the Mets may be about to sign Trevor Bauer.

Rotoworld says the Angels are almost definitely out on Bauer - he doesn't want to work with Mickey Calloway? - so where else is there for Bauer to go?

I think that is best for both of us.

And the Cubs are looking at Samardzjia. Brewer scouts think he's awesome and the Cubs should sign him.

And Jake Arrieta.

They miss Schwarbs already. But now they have a version that can field a bit better.

I know I do.

Schwarbs got better progressively better in left field, with no reason to doubt he would continue to improve. He had a gun for an arm that made up for a lot of his route errors.

And Jake Arrieta.

The Cubs actually made a good signing when they signed Kohl Stewart. He was 4th overall in the 2013 draft. He is 26 years old.

We will see, but this is better than Samardzjia by a mile and a half.

Trying to figure out if you are serious or not. Stewart is terrrrible. He signed for cheap thankfully, but this is a lotto ticket at best. He never came close to the potential he had 8 years ago, and his draft status from 2013 is about as relevant as Samardzjia's football stats at Notre Dame.
