    2022/2023 MLB Offseason Thread

    Cubs will make qualifying offer to Willson Contreras
    Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said at Mondays end-of-season press conference that the team will definitely make a qualifying offer to free-agent catcher Willson Contreras

    That much was widely assumed from the moment the team surprisingly opted against trading Contreras prior to the Aug. 2 deadline.

    An exact amount on this years qualifying offer, which is set annually at the average of the games 125 highest-paid players, has not yet been determined.

    Last years qualifying offer clocked in at $18.4M.

    Any player rejecting a qualifying offer is then subject to draft-pick compensation, meaning a team choosing to sign him will be required to surrender at least one pick in the following years draft (in addition to potentially forfeiting resources from its international bonus pool.

    Teams that receive revenue sharing would forfeit their third-highest selection to sign a qualified free agent.

    Non-revenue sharing, non-luxury tax paying teams lose their second-highest pick and $500K of international bonus pool space.

    The six teams that paid the luxury tax this year Mets, Dodgers, Yankees, Phillies, Red Sox, Padres would forfeit their second- and fifth-highest picks as well as $1M of international pool space.

    The Cubs, meanwhile, would receive a compensatory pick between Competitive Balance Round B and Round 3 of next summers draft typically in the No. 75 overall range.

    @JonHeyman

    Chapman’s 2022 season in summary:

    1. Couldn’t throw a fastball for a strike,

    2. Went on IL when he got a tattoo that became infected,

    3. Blew off workout without legit excuse.

    He’s gone now so at least he won’t blow the playoffs for a change!

    Dodgers leave Craig Kimbrel off NLDS playoff roster

    Dodgers reliever Craig Kimbrel, who spent most of the season in the closer's role, will not be on the roster when Los Angeles begins its best-of-five National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night.

    Kimbrel showed clear signs of decay as the season wound down. Although he sported a 3.00 ERA in his last 25 appearances of the season (dating back to Aug. 1), his peripherals veered in a concerning direction.

    The Dodgers, presumably happy with the progress made by Treinen (shoulder) and May (back) in their injury recoveries, decided they had better options on hand.

    Brewers Notes
    Milwaukee has a massive arbitration class this winter, with 18 players eligible for that process.

    They wont all be tendered contracts, but stars like Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff and Willy Adames are all projected by MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz for salaries north of $9MM during their penultimate years of club control.

    Finances are always a consideration for a Milwaukee franchise that annually runs payrolls slightly below the league average.

    The hefty arbitration class could be a factor in the teams decision whether to exercise a club option on second baseman Kolten Wong.

    Milwaukee holds a $10MM option or a $2MM buyout, leaving them with a net $8MM call as to whether to keep him for a third season.

    Thats a perfectly reasonable price in a vacuum, as Wong is coming off a .251/.339/.430 showing with 15 home runs across 497 plate appearances. By measure of wRC+, that production was 16 points above that of this years league average hitter, the best hitting season of Wongs career.

    Nevertheless, the Brewers have to weigh those strong offensive marks against a bizarrely poor defensive season. Wong is a two-time Gold Glove winner and typically a plus defender, but Statcast pegged him as seven runs below average this year.

    If Wong were sent back into free agency, hed be arguably the top player in the second base class. Jean Segura, whos likely to be bought out by the Phillies, and utilityman Brandon Drury are otherwise the best players wholl be available.

    3 potential landing spots for SF Giants infielder Tommy La Stella in bad contract swap

    Saying that you want to trade La Stella is the easy part, but finding a trade partner is the difficult part. From an economic standpoint, the veteran has some appeal as he is on an expiring contract that has a salary cap hit of $6.25 million. However, the final year of his deal was backloaded, so the Giants are on the hook for $11.5 million

    1. The Cincinnati Reds - Infielder Mike Moustakas
    2. The Chicago White Sox - Reliever Joe Kelly and Outfielder Leury Garca
    3. The Colorado Rockies - Randal Grichuk

    A La Stella-for-Moustakas swap would make sense for the Reds because they would shed nearly $10 million against the cap. However, the Giants would need something in return if they are going to assume the remainder of Moustakas' contract.

    Would the Reds be willing to part with a top prospect like infielder Matt McLain?

    That is likely the cost of doing business.

    Reds gave McLain a $4.65 million bonus last year. Add that to the Reds’ give up side of a LaStella/Moustakas trade.

    I say no.

    If the Reds could send Moose, Senzel and say the $10 Miilion for Lastella I'd do it. Reds would done with Moose $20 Million and Senzel's arb case. Then move India to 3B and let Lastella be part of a 2B tandem with Steer, Farmer etc until McLain is ready. Trade Lastella for a PTBNL at the deadline and save a couple million more. The Reds would save a little bit ultimately, but more importantly it would allow them to start putting pieces in olace where they should be long term. India at 3B and clearing 2B for Mclain seem like things that should be a priority in 2023.

    Or send Senzel for Lastella, some cash and a prospect. Giants save money on the tax cap and Reds move on and maybe add a prospect.
    All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
