New Addresses for 2021

Edgy MD Dec 22 2020 04:46 PM

The Chicago White Sox look like they are going to bring in the first big member of the also-big 2021 international free agent class, signing young Cuban emigree and Hermano de la Poténcia Yoelqui Céspedes.

Lefty Specialist Dec 23 2020 01:53 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Wonder where La Potencia himself will wind up. Barring any porcine problems, of course.

G-Fafif Dec 23 2020 03:09 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

"La Potencia"...sigh. Those were good times.

Edgy MD Dec 23 2020 08:04 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

He sure looks like he's been drinking from the same stream as his step-brother. [fimg=440]https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/4AU3CvMfeqCuFFT4cVu91of0TDY=/1400x1400/filters:format(jpeg)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22190953/38382.jpg[/fimg] The follow-through looks familiar, too. And frankly, so do the glutes. [FIMG=440]https://metsmerizedonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/yoelkis-cespedes-granma-sub23-e1486042882495.jpg[/FIMG]

The Nationals trade two pitchers (not Scherzer and Strasburg, but Wil Crowe and Eddy Yean) to the Pirates for 1B Josh Bell.

MFS62 Jan 09 2021 11:17 AM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Kyle Schwarber signs with the Nats. Later

My favorite Kyle Schwarber moment: [YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ1MF78pgCA[/YOUTUBE]

Frayed Knot Jan 09 2021 11:53 AM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Yeah, I was just about to add that the Nats have a set-enough OF to keep Schwarger off the grass and restricted to the dirt areas around 1B and the batter's box. With Howie Kendrick gone and Ryan Zimmerman (going, going?) gone, they had a need there.

Edgy MD Jan 12 2021 08:28 AM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Reliever Liam Hendriks joins the White Sox after some mild Metly flirtation. https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/NrhAtYBeTegPkjNAPZSFsw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MA--/https://media.zenfs.com/en/sny_articles_235/d8f14dc3181ca28bb34a19e64cc6afb6>

A Boy Named Seo Jan 12 2021 08:51 AM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Yikes, that's a hefty deal. 3 years/$54M with a 4th year club option for $15M.

Edgy MD Jan 12 2021 09:38 AM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Competing with Liam Feeney and Liam Neeson to become history's highest paid Liam. Also, the only Liam in MLB history.

G-Fafif Jan 15 2021 11:37 AM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Kurt Suzuki now belongs to the Angels.

G-Fafif Jan 18 2021 06:18 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Jon Lester is a National disgrace.

G-Fafif Jan 20 2021 11:17 AM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Michael Brantley to Toronto. Jose Quintana to Anaheim. Joe Biden to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

MFS62 Jan 20 2021 11:43 AM Re: New Addresses for 2021

=G-Fafif post_id=54483 time=1611166632 user_id=55] Michael Brantley to Toronto. Jose Quintana to Anaheim. Joe Biden to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Nicely played.

G-Fafif Jan 20 2021 02:24 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Biden's new address is accurate, but Brantley, it turns out, returns to Houston.

G-Fafif Jan 20 2021 03:35 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

J.A. Happ to the Twins.

Edgy MD Jan 20 2021 09:03 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Am I missing something? It sure looks like the Cubs are being busted up.

G-Fafif Jan 22 2021 07:06 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Kiké Hernandez, rumored to be an object of Met interest, goes to Red Sox.

Benjamin Grimm Jan 22 2021 07:29 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

His first name is... problematic.

Nolan Arenado heading for St. Louis.

Edgy MD Jan 29 2021 08:01 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Ex-Coloradoans, to my thinking, have done alright when landing in St. Louis.

G-Fafif Jan 29 2021 08:53 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Meanwhile, Joc Pederson signs with the Cubs.

ashie62 Jan 30 2021 08:16 AM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Cardinals bag Nolan Arenado in a reported trade pending Arenado waiving his no trade clause and their lineup mightl look like this upon finalization 2B Tommy Edman SS Paul DeJong 3B Nolan Arenado 1B Paul Goldschmidt LF Dylan Carlson RF Dexter Fowler C Yadier Molina CF Harrison Bader Pitcher's spot Colorado would get salary relief and several mid tier prospects

G-Fafif Feb 03 2021 12:28 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Kolten Wong signs with Milwaukee.

smg58 Feb 03 2021 12:47 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Wong might have made for an interesting offense/defense platoon with Davis (i.e., McNeil would alternate between third and second), but I don't think I would have gone 2 and 18 with him.

G-Fafif Feb 03 2021 05:47 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Felix Hernandez signs with the Orioles.

Edgy MD Feb 03 2021 07:50 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Minor league deal for the king. Man, the Orioles are operating on austerity right now. There's a good chance they'll be real bad.

G-Fafif Feb 06 2021 05:06 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Elvis Andrus traded from Rangers to A's for Khris Davis (prospects involved).

Edgy MD Feb 06 2021 09:17 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Wow. I thought he slept in a Texas uniform. He and Adrian Beltre on the left side of that infield was one of the best long-running shows in baseball. He must've accepted that trade by waiving his 10-and-5 rights, too.

MFS62 Feb 07 2021 06:37 AM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Juan Legares signs a minor league deal with the Halos. Later

Frayed Knot Feb 08 2021 04:03 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

The Andrus/Davis deal is a big time challenge trade, not to mention one between interesting name spellings. Sean Doolittle to the Reds for two years.

MFS62 Feb 09 2021 02:29 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Unfortunately, Benji f'n Molina is returning to his old address*. He signed a one year re-up with the Cardinals. Later * = if we have a free agent signing thread, I couldn't find it.

Frayed Knot Feb 09 2021 02:34 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

I consider that to be good news ... especially seeing as how Bengie will turn 47 this summer.

Benjamin Grimm Feb 09 2021 02:36 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

And Alfred Molina is returning to the Spider-Man film franchise to once again play Doctor Octopus.

MFS62 Feb 09 2021 02:52 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Oops, Yadier f'n Molina. Later

G-Fafif Feb 11 2021 06:29 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

Red Sox go Gonzo — Marwin Gonzalez, that is (one year).

He looks like a truncated centaur.

G-Fafif Feb 12 2021 08:33 PM Re: New Addresses for 2021

The highest point in St. Petersburg will now be Rich Hill, who is signing with the Rays.

Trevor Rosenthal goes to Oakland.

Jake Odorizzi, no longer a Met target, lands with Astros.

Mickey Jannis trying to make it with Baltimore. Contains a video of him throwing his knuckler. Orioles' video content creator Johnny Douglas captured pitching prospect Mickey Jannis throwing the knuckleball during a spring training game against the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. Jannis, 33, is a former 44th round pick attempting to bring the knuckleball back. The last full-time pitcher to use it was Steven Wright, who hasn't appeared in an MLB game since 2019. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/orioles-share-hypnotizing-video-mickey-183755533.html Later
