The Toronto Blue Jays have an agreement to sign George Springer in a huge acquisition for a young team trying to knock off the New York Yankees.
The New York Mets have been one of the most active teams this offseason and it does not look like the front office has any intention of taking their foot off the gas pedal.
As you were waking up this Friday (and probably before you were even up), the Yankees and DJ LeMahieu were coming to an agreement on a contract. Jon Morosi of MLB Network was the first to report the two sides were finalizing a deal for the batting champion to return to the Bronx.
The Oakland Athletics finished the 2020 season with a 36-24 record and won the American League West for the first time since 2013. It was their third straight trip to the postseason and they took down the Chicago White Sox in the best-of-three Wild Card series. That set up a Division Series matchup with their bitter division rivals, the Houston Astros.
After a career year in 2019, Marcus Semien struggled to find his footing in the shortened 2020 season. Semien played in all 162 games in 2019. He combined superb defense and a strong bat to place third in American League MVP voting. With that in mind, let’s take a look at his market this offseason.
Tommy La Stella had a solid 2020 season between the Los Angeles Angels and Oakland Athletics. After tapping into more power than he ever had before in 2019 (his first year with the Angels), he showed more of the same in the shortened season.
Just over an hour after the 8 p.m. EST non-tender deadline, it was announced that the Los Angeles Dodgers had acquired right-hander Corey Knebel from the Milwaukee Brewers for a player to be named later or cash.
Alex Kielar profiles free agent pitcher James Paxton and outlines three potential landing spots for the Canadian-born southpaw.
D.J. LeMahieu is reportedly seeking a lengthy contract in free agency, so Steve Cohen and the New York Mets might need to give him a longer deal than they want to in order to move him across the city.
After taking a hard line drive to the head off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton during “Spring Training 2.0”, Masahiro Tanaka came back to have a respectable 2020 season. He made 10 starts during the regular season and two in the postseason. The Japanese-born right-hander has had an up-and-down seven big league seasons with the New York Yankees. He now looks to earn a new contract in an uncertain offseason. Let’s take a look at what his market may look like.
After having one of his best seasons in 2019, Michael Brantley put up another solid performance in 2020. Though he missed 14 games due to a quad injury, he remained one of the key bats in the Houston Astros’ lineup during the abbreviated season.
The New York Yankees had another disappointing early-round exit to finish off their 2020 season. This time around it was by the hands of their bitter American League East rivals Tampa Bay Rays in the Division Series.
