What is the story about?
The
tender deadline has come and gone, players have been protected from the Rule 5 draft and now the fun can begin. We know who will be free agents completely now as opposed to just those that filed once the World Series was over. It makes it that much more interesting now that we know who is truly available.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- The Phillies continue to try and make inroads in Japan, but they haven’t been successful yet. This scout has some insight how they can change that ($).
- One of our friends here at SBNation, Covering the Corner, the group focused on the Guardians, came up with some trade ideas.
MLB news:
- There were some substantial names that were non-tendered yesterday, led by a pair of Rangers in Jonah Heim and Adolis Garcia.
- Pete Alonso is an interesting free agent once again. Here are some possible landing spots for the Polar Bear this offseason.
- Tarik Skubal is another name this offseason that will cause a lot of conversation. Talking with heads of front offices, they have opinions on what the Tigers should do ($).
