I know this is a forum for the game but I assume most people that play The Show also follow baseball. Especially in DD mode where the baseball season dictates much of the content like Topps moments,all star, playoff and world series Programs, live series roster updates and more. So here is a place to keep track of all the wheeling and dealing in MLB. Feel free to post if you have one to add. These are the ones I've heard.

Didn't even see that until I read it here. Solid pick up for the Rangers.
-
Decent chance Trevor Story going to the Rangers.

Which means I'm a Rangers lifer.
-
Kole Calhoun to the Rangers too. I think the next big move will prob be Gausman
My prediction: Gausman to the Blue Jays for 4 years for 75 Million -

I would love to see him go there and build around Him, Lowe, Garcia and Semien. Kershaw would be a solid addition to help that staff as well. Do they have loads of
all the sudden? -

all the sudden?I grew up in in Ft Worth, TX and lucky enough to see several early 90s Rangers' games. (A's with Mcgwire, Conseco and Henderson; White Sox with Thomas and Ventura but sadly not THAT Ventura game, etc.)
I'd love to the Rangers bounce back from almost zero.

Hey a decade ago they won back to back pennants. They arent too far removed from success.

True story, that was an awesome lineup. Not sure how the Cards won that one...cough... David Freese is God, thank you Jesus for sending us David Freese...cough. The Rangers had the better team.

Lol, I was a "secondary" Ranger fan at that time. I had just moved to the DFW a few years earlier and the Astros were still in the NL and rebuilding. So I was rootting the Rangers along. We got to watch any of the playoffs games at the local movie theatre for free. Was fun times. And yes, watching the Cardinals do that to the Rangers brought back nightmares of the way they treated the Astros in the early 2000's.

Oh I bet. Yeah, those Cards v. Astros series in the 2000s were so epic. In 2004, that series was so overshadowed by the Red Sox crazy comeback but l always remember Jeff Kent hitting the walkoff and then Edmonds doing it again in game 6.
Even though Pujols had his classic Brad Lidge moment, you guys definitely had our number in 2005. I miss that rivalry. What a team the Astros group was.

The big news keeps coming:
Kevin Gausman to Blue Jays (5 years)
Jon Gray to Rangers (4 years)
Byron Buxton re-signs with Twins (7 years)
-
Jays and Rangers in ALCS next year!

Tigers have a better chance than the Rangers. Very weak division.
-
Let's Go! Getting a little worried there for a minute it was all talk about spending money but they're walking the talk. Giggity
Does show how this game warps your thinking, am I more excited about the actual player or that'll be a diamond rated Ranger player
-
All I know is if the tigers get Baez or worse instead of going all in on Correa or Story I will be a very unhappy camper.
-
Mets are close to signing Scherzer to a multi year deal.
-
Not final yet but looking like 3 years 130 million for Scherzer
-

Yeah, Correa is definitely the right move for you guys. I was hoping the Cards would try to reunite Arenado and Story but have heard nothing and truthfully they should be going after pitching.
Will be interesting to see where the pieces land now that Semien has set the bar. Correa will pass him, will any of the others?

It may actually have been the Wander Franco signing that set the bar this offseason. If Semien can get 7 years then Correa has to be thinking 8/9 years at over 200 million and where does that leave Seager? Can the Yankees afford to spend that much or close to that on him?
