Supposedly, expectations are an agreement by training camp or not to far into the regular start dates. The players want out before 6 years. The owners have the DH to offer.

The owners know they are not getting a salary cap. They almost killed baseball trying to get it in the 90’s.

Max Scherzer and the Mets are finalizing $130M, 3-year deal. Minor details to go only.

Jon Gray signing for 4/$56 is a risk I'd have been willing to take.

He's an awfully good complement to Matz. When both are healthy and productive they'd provide much different looks and Gray provides a nice floor given his health history and high-octane fastball.

At $14 million/season (in an environment where Scherzer is getting $43 million), I think that's a very justifiable risk.

I totally agree.

If you gave me a choice of Gray for 4/$56M or Kevin Gausman for 5/$110M, it would have been Gray hands down for me.

As soon as I saw the Mets were involved yesterday I immediately thought the butt hurt the owner had over the Matz signing might lend to him "tilting" on a deal with Scherzer.

I wanted him, but that is insane money. Even as durable as he has been, he is still 38, 39, 40 in the years of that contract.

Sources: Texas Rangers land star shortstop Corey Seager on 10-year, $325 million deal. The Rangers have committed $561 million over the last 24 hours to free agents, the biggest free-agent spending spree in MLB history.

That Bryce Harper deal looking better and better for the Phillies.

I know we talked about here, but goddamn Mozeliak missed a chance there.

he’s got a long list of misses.

How’d your new manager do last year? Did he seem to learn from his mistakes with the Cardinals?

I will grudgingly admit Matheny was less of an epic disaster than I expected. He seems to have learned at least a smidge. But he’d still be out on his ass tomorrow if I was calling the shots.

update: False alarm.

The Twitter world is suggesting the Cards are still hoping for one out of two from Story or Stroman. Story’s non-Coors lines are not worth bragging home about but still think that he’d be an upgrade over DeJong if the price is right.
