MLB Offseason discussion and news: Brian Snitker extended

Michael A. Taylor apparently signed with the Royals, just yesterday or day before. On twitter, Nationals fans are saying he plays great defense and has speed, which is generally preferred out of position players up the middle in KC. With Taylor, Mondesi and Merrifield perhaps placed somewhere 1-5 in the order, that's a lot of athleticism. I read on twitter that Taylor's OPS in postseason play is very, very good. Some Nationals fans I read actually wrote that they're excited to see what kind of numbers he can put up as an everyday outfielder in KC. With the Nationals, Taylor was the 4th outfielder, apparently. I know he has some power, too. I think it's a good move for the Royals, specifically regarding Alex Gordon's retirement!

What I’m thinking is Springer, Wong, Paxton, and another starter/reliever. I don’t really know how much they have to spend but I can’t imagine they can get two marquee guys.

Did anyone else see the news that MLB is rolling out a brand new minor league? Apparently, it's for draft eligible players, including high school and college players together in the same league. I think it read that about 5 or 6 teams would be created in cities that don't have a big league club already.

All I want for Christmas is the cardinals to actually want to win and get the people hitting below the Mendoza line outta there. (I also want a ps5)

In my mind the Mets were the best landing spot for Realmuto. However, they seem to be going in on McCann. If the Mets get McCann instead, where does Realmuto end up?

Simple Toronto, the Jays are going to get evryone this offseason lol. But in all honesty back with Philly or possibly Tampa. Theres also tons of teams like the Cardinals/Cubs that could use him as a DH if that rule sticks.

Len Kasper is going to the White Sox.

@samguenther1987Yes it's not good news for Cubs fans but it's his childhood dream and i'm happy for him in that regard and i wish him the best of luck as the White Sox anouncer.

The Rangers have traded Lance Lynn to the Chicago White Sox for two pitching prospects.

The Phillies have denied the rumors that starting pitcher Zach Wheeler is on the trade block. Reports from other team's executives had came out saying that the Phillies had contacted everyone, informing them that Wheeler was able to be traded.
The team is not in the best financial position, as they were not able to sign JT Realmuto, the now top free agent catcher.
The Phillies executive said that he would not trade Wheeler for Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, or Mike Schmidt. -

https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/white-sox-trade-for-lance-lynn-send-rangers-2-pitching-prospects/I would think that Lynn to the White Sox would generate more competitive innings out of the White Sox starting rotation. He's 32, which is an age when many starting pitchers find their confidence, and he was already pretty good with Texas for a few years.

The Phillies executive said that he would not trade Wheeler for Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, or Mike Schmidt.That would be a mistake. Either of those three hitters would hit 80 HR's at Citizen Bank Park.
