New Addresses for 2021

[Edgy MD]

The Chicago White Sox look like they are going to bring in the first big member of the also-big 2021 international free agent class, signing young Cuban emigree and Hermano de la Poténcia Yoelqui Céspedes.

[Lefty Specialist]

Wonder where La Potencia himself will wind up. Barring any porcine problems, of course.

[G-Fafif]

"La Potencia"...sigh. Those were good times.

[Edgy MD]

He sure looks like he's been drinking from the same stream as his step-brother.

The follow-through looks familiar, too. And frankly, so do the glutes.

[G-Fafif]

The Nationals trade two pitchers (not Scherzer and Strasburg, but Wil Crowe and Eddy Yean) to the Pirates for 1B Josh Bell.

[MFS62]

Kyle Schwarber signs with the Nats.

Later

My favorite Kyle Schwarber moment:

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, I was just about to add that the Nats have a set-enough OF to keep Schwarger off the grass and restricted to the dirt areas around 1B and the batter's box.

With Howie Kendrick gone and Ryan Zimmerman (going, going?) gone, they had a need there.

[Edgy MD]

Reliever Liam Hendriks joins the White Sox after some mild Metly flirtation.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Yikes, that's a hefty deal. 3 years/$54M with a 4th year club option for $15M.

[Edgy MD]

Competing with Liam Feeney and Liam Neeson to become history's highest paid Liam.



Also, the only Liam in MLB history.

[G-Fafif]

Kurt Suzuki now belongs to the Angels.

[G-Fafif]

Jon Lester is a National disgrace.

[G-Fafif]

Michael Brantley to Toronto.



Jose Quintana to Anaheim.



Joe Biden to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Michael Brantley to Toronto.



Jose Quintana to Anaheim.



Joe Biden to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

[G-Fafif]

Biden's new address is accurate, but Brantley, it turns out, returns to Houston.

[G-Fafif]

J.A. Happ to the Twins.

[Edgy MD]

Am I missing something? It sure looks like the Cubs are being busted up.

[G-Fafif]

Kiké Hernandez, rumored to be an object of Met interest, goes to Red Sox.

[Benjamin Grimm]

His first name is... problematic.

[G-Fafif]

The accent mark does a lot of work.

[G-Fafif]

Nolan Arenado heading for St. Louis.

[Edgy MD]

Ex-Coloradoans, to my thinking, have done alright when landing in St. Louis.

[G-Fafif]

Meanwhile, Joc Pederson signs with the Cubs.

[ashie62]

Cardinals bag Nolan Arenado in a reported trade pending Arenado waiving his no trade clause and their lineup mightl look like this upon finalization



2B Tommy Edman

SS Paul DeJong

3B Nolan Arenado

1B Paul Goldschmidt

LF Dylan Carlson

RF Dexter Fowler

C Yadier Molina

CF Harrison Bader

Pitcher's spot



Colorado would get salary relief and several mid tier prospects

[G-Fafif]

Kolten Wong signs with Milwaukee.

[smg58]

Wong might have made for an interesting offense/defense platoon with Davis (i.e., McNeil would alternate between third and second), but I don't think I would have gone 2 and 18 with him.

[G-Fafif]

Felix Hernandez signs with the Orioles.

[Edgy MD]

Minor league deal for the king.



Man, the Orioles are operating on austerity right now. There's a good chance they'll be real bad.

[G-Fafif]

Elvis Andrus traded from Rangers to A's for Khris Davis (prospects involved).
