Craig Kimbrell ^-- Phillies

[Frayed Knot]

He's not the Kimbrel he was, but he should strengthen a Phils pen which was already no longer a pushover.

Nathan Eovaldi, RHP, Texas, two years

According to Jeff Passan, the Braves have traded for A's catcher Sean Murphy.

No other details available yet.

[Edgy MD]

Man, I'm curious to eventually find out how Swanson missed the gravy boat.

[Frayed Knot]

The Braves simply had a number that they wouldn't surpass and Swanson, a Georgia native, wanted to surpass it.



They've also got Vaughn Grissom, the call up they used at 2nd while Albies was injured part of '22, waiting in the wings even if they're not yet totally sold that he'll be able to cut it at SS defensively.

[Edgy MD]

I assume it's that simple, but that's boring!

[MFS62]

Jean Segura signs with the Marlins.

No CPF FA points.

Last week the Yankees DFA'd Lucas Luetge, a lefty reliever coming off a season with a 2.67 ERA, and then yesterday dealt him to the Braves for two underwhelming prospects. On paper, it looks great for the Braves and puzzling for the Yankees (i.e., there must be somebody on the 40 who's an easier cut than a lefty who did well for you). Oddly, I'm hoping the Yankees know what they're doing.

Is there a MFY thread ?



Anyways

Was there ever a 'memories of' thread?

I looked and didn't see one , although I do remember him being talked about

[Benjamin Grimm]

Now is the time for one, now that he's officially with another organization.

[G-Fafif]

2015 World Series villain Eric Hosmer is a 2023 Chicago Cub.

[Frayed Knot]

Not a coming or a going but a staying as Jeff Passan reports that the BoSox and 3B Rafael Devers are "finalizing" an 11-year deal.

Unlike some of the other mega-deals (and possible deals!) Devers is not yet a FA and just recently turned 26.

[kcmets]

Ooops, started a new thread for Omar...

[MFS62]

The Phillies have acquired left-handed reliever Gregory Soto and utilityman Kody Clemens in a deal with the Tigers. Philadelphia will send INF Nick Maton, OF/1B Matt Vierling and C/DH Donny Sands back to Detroit.

The two teams announced the deal this afternoon.

Also, the Tigers included a bat as a throw-in in that deal.

Ba-DUMP!!

Johnny Cueto, around long enough to have pitched at Shea, signs with the Marlins.

Looks like Aroldis Chapman will be a KCR for the coming season.

[bmfc1]

The Marlins have traded for AL Batting Champion Luis Arraez (they sent Pablo Lopez to Correa-Town). Between Arraez, Segura, and Chisholm, MIA is going to be a tough opponent this season.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

We play them early, then six times in mid-September

[Edgy MD]

I feel like I've mentally consigned Johnny Cueto to the "Finished" pile for a decade now.



Every time I see him, he looks labored and possibly pitching through an injury. He's proven me wrong over and over, though.

[smg58]

Andrew Chafin, the best lefty reliever on the market this offseason, gets one year and $6.25M guaranteed from the D-Backs, with a team option for 2024.



And this is why you wait to sign relievers. I hope we're in on Matt Moore at this price.
