Rumor: Justin Turner is the top target for the D-Backs. Yeah , they wanted him last winter and ended up with Longoria. I think he will sign with the DBacks , although there has been some Cubs stuff popping up. From JP Morosi Justin Turner and the Cubs are a potential match in free agency. Of relevance, Craig Counsell and the Brewers made a strong push to sign Turner after the '20 season.

According to the SD's GM Soto will not be traded during the off season. As quoted from mlb trade rumors he likes to change his mind. Also works out better for the Cubs, it drives his value down a bit.

According to the SD's GM Soto will not be traded during the off season. Well how are they going to cut payroll like it was said they have to ? They currently already sit 5 million above the luxury tax and even the 2025 commitment puts them only 1 million under so something has to give. They are not likely trading Machado, X or Musgrave , so it seems either Soto who will be a free agent or Tatis and Soto's next contract won't make their payroll go south. I'd take Tatis and that contract.

I don't dislike Ron Washington, but what the hell are the Angels doing? Trout has to want out of that mess.

Phillies PoBO Dave Dombrowski has talked with Bryce Harper and announced that Harper will be the starting 1B moving forward. Could officially signal they are out on Hoskins, whom they did not extend a QO offer to. Could be an intriguing target for many.

I don't dislike Ron Washington, but what the hell are the Angels doing? Trout has to want out of that mess. Good question. I mean he's well liked and respected , but he's 71 and has not managed in 9 years and there are some other good candidates out there . I though Showalter was going to get that job. I think Ross would have been a good fit there.

Jason Benetti going to Detroit. Sucks to be a White Sox fan. Not sure what they are all doing over there when there’s a much better franchise and fan experience within arms reach, but to each their own. 🤷♂️

Jason Benetti going to Detroit. Didn't know who he is , had to look him up Not being local nor connected to the Sox, I get it. But he's a great announcer and yet another loss for that fan base. Everybody's fleeing the dumpster fire.

I'll say he will end up being an elite gold glove type. Granted a very expensive 1b but it makes sense with their roster construction.

So it is pretty sure he won't be back in Philly.

White Sox TV play by play announcer has accepted a job offer in Detroit for their TV play by play gig. Reinsdorf has commented that he doesn't like Benetti as the play by play guy. That he isn't funny.
That coming from the guy that kept Hawk on the air for so long. Reinsdorf is going senile.
