    • More reports out today that the Dodgers have been one of the hardest pursuers of Brad Hand this winter, but he has quite a few teams interested in him. The White Sox, Mets and Blue Jays are others that are linked.
    • The belief is the Dodgers are still in on Liam Hendriks as well and he may be nearing his decision, though like Hand, he has many suitors.
    • There is a belief that things could pick up in the week ahead for the non-star players that are said to be growing frustrated with the slow pace taking place at the top of the market. We have heard this in years past with no real swift movement, so we shall see.
    • The Angels are said to be pursuing Cubs catcher Willson Contreras. This would be interesting as it would continue to lengthen a decent Angels lineup, but it could deplete a mediocre farm and remove pieces from the equation that would help land much needed pitching.

    Interesting idea as his velo has maintained to be pretty steady, but I would not be shocked if he wanted to start somewhere.

    I dunno. Maybe Ruiz and another kid. Or another couple kids. The price shouldn't be exorbitant given Lindor's rental status

    Indians are running out of time. Or whatever they're going to call themselves from now on

    I'd rather just trade for Jose Ramirez to man 3b for the next 4 years.

    Safe to say Ramirez will be more expensive and much harder to attain. He's signed through 2023 and at a fairly small number annually. Indians will value that quite a bit

    Tried to be their best friend last year. Their answer was, " we want May and Lux. " Can probably assume that they'd want something starting around May/Lux just to get into the game for Ramirez. And then additional specs to actually win the game and the player

    Yeap, trade being finalized

    Sucks for Lindor that he has to be a Met. One of the better guys in the league, deserves better. Wonder if an extension happens or if they'll cry pandemic and let him hit FA. Would think that he'd rather play for the Blue Jays, but NL/Mets is it. For now at least

    Carrasco just had leukemia and they wanna send him to the Mets. What did he ever do to deserve all this?

    Pretty meh return for Lindor on the surface, but everything is a fucking mess now since nobody knows what’s going on with club MiLB’ers. Should be good news if we really are pursuing Bryant.

    Would put my money on Bryant going to the AL if he leaves the Cubbies. Probably Blue Jays

    Don't know why the Cubs would help the Dodgers win a WS, especially if the return for Bryant isn't much to write home about. Unless the Cubs just want to bitch slap their fanbase

    I think you are right that he has a high chance of going to the Jays now, but the Cubs aren't contending this year or next by the looks of it. So they'll more than likely trade him to the team with the best offer outside of maybe the Cardinals. We aren't really rivals at the moment and if contending was important to them, they would not have traded Darvish to the Padres. I'll add this. If Bryant does go to the Jays, the chances of Turner returning go up quite a bit.
