Off Season Activities (all teams)

If the suspension had been for last season, would Cano still have to sit out another 102 games?

Edit- Is it possible he still owes games in 2022?

[stlcard25]

The suspension was for 162 games, so I would assume if this season is less than a full 162, he would owe games. As it stands now, I don’t imagine it will be many games, probably 20ish at most.

[jj-cf-stl]

That’s how I was looking at it too, that suspensions go by team games played.

As we all know “serious trade talks “ can mean different things to different people but it would be interesting if he is being shopped.

Edit: I see this was already posted on the Trade Ideas thread.

Yeah, I posted it on the trade thread, because to be honest, I remain confused about what this thread is supposed to cover that the ongoing one we always have stuck to the top does not.

[gscottar]

I agree this thread probably wasn’t necessary. I think some posters forget to look at the threads that are pinned.

Scotty and BW – This thread was to be about deals that actually go down this off season (by trade of by FA signings). For two reasons –

1.) To see which players are gone as far as possibilities.
2.) To look at the compensation received to compare with players that are still on the market.

It wasn’t meant to deal with trade ideas/acquisitions ideas/non-cards rumors…….just actual happenings to be analyzed.

I was shocked to hear that the Cardinals may be interested in signing DJ LeMahieu. I heard a report on MLB radio and then read an article on MLB Trade Runors. This sounds like an agent trying to create a perception to generate more activity from teams actually interested in DJ. Anyone see it differently?

[Brian Walton]

Check out the LeMahieu discussion on the Trade Rumors thread. The Cardinals were just apparently checking in. Nothing of substance to it that anyone can tell.

Liam Hendriks signs with Chicago 4 years, $54M.

Here’s how Hendriks deal with White Sox works, per sources: He is guaranteed $54M. Buyout worth same as option. So, he gets $39M for first three years, then an additional $15M over a period of time if White Sox decline option. If White Sox pick up option, it’s four years, $54M.

Just when you thought the Mets were turning things around. Classic LOLMets moment.

New York Mets general manager Jared Porter sent explicit photos, including a naked picture of a penis, to a foreign female reporter in 2016 after she had ignored dozens of other messages from him for weeks.

It appears he has been fired. Steve Cohen is quickly becoming my favorite MLB owner.

We have terminated Jared Porter this morning . In my initial press conference I spoke about the importance of integrity and I meant it.There should be zero tolerance for this type of behavior.

I wonder if Girsch will be on the Mets radar? It might seem like a lateral move but Sandy Alderson won’t be there forever.

So, uh, does anyone want to win the NL Central? https://t.co/KmLe2AxB5j pic.twitter.com/UW5rOax6DL

Too much impatience, IMO. This is only the 19th day of the new December… 😉

[gscottar]

March is the new December.

[Brian Walton]

In fact, I tweeted those very words recently… Great minds…
