I had heard Rizzo was accepting the QO.

If he doesn't, he'd look great as DH/1B for us.

It sounds like the Astros are going all in on him. I would love to piss them off as well he would be a really good upgrade

True power in the available OF bats is Judge and that's it. I guess Teoscar or Renfroe in a trade are options.

Seems Jerry has trained his puppet well in the fine art of saying a lot of words without ever saying or committing to anything at all. lol

This must be super enlightening for fans that thought we would become the first team in the entire FA era that only signed FAs and didn't make a single trade and vice versa!

“There’s not one right way to do it. I think the best teams are built with both,” Hollander said. “… I think those are the avenues we’re going to look (at) and there isn’t one way we’re going to look to build a team. It’s not going to be all through free agency or all through trade, I wouldn’t expect. I think it’d be a little mix of both.”

Don't they have a few years of arbitration for Flexen?

Maybe this website doesn't understand what an article XXB FA is. I don't either...

And, to add fuel to this rumor - Morosi has gone on to report that the M's have discussed trade possibilities with multiple teams in recent days. Sources say they are willing to move Jesse Winker and either Chris Flexen or Marco Gonzalez. To this point, they are not including Winker and a starter in the same trade proposal.

Again, sorry if some of you only want posts that involve actual transactions and not just rumors...but this sort of interests me. It's interesting to calibrate our speculation with that of "insiders" and pundits.

Thank God! Open a window and get that Stinker out of here (Winker). If Flex and Marco are parts of trades to get us better I won't be shedding tears either.
