Judge to LAD and Mookie to 2B?

I saw this and immediately thought it was ridiculous. Then I looked at what their salary commitments were for next year.
Probably simpler to non-tender Cody B and play one in RF and one in CF, no?
Yeah, I would personally not want to risk my $300M+ investment at 2B. Even with the rule changes in the last couple of years, second base still feels like no country for old men.
Plus Machado (too soon) in the same division, although that’s lessened a bit with the new schedule.
A surprise: Brewers president stepping down. Mets? They were rumored to want him badly.

Joel Sherman thinks Astros might be a possibility. Seems strange that a team going to back to back World Series isn't enough to secure a job, but I guess when you consider the circumstances Click was put into the job, maybe there's never been confidence in him and ownership sees the team success as a result of the previous GM?

Not all that surprising. He's opting into 5/149M. Even coming off a really good season like he is (career high OPS+), I don't know that he's going to find better than that on the free agent market entering his age 32 season.
Manfred all but told Mad Dog that the A's are headed to Vegas. I'm glad Oakland is too smart to give a billionaire millions of dollars to build a stadium, but what a kick in the balls to go from three professional sports teams to zero in a few years.

Walker is moving to outfield. He has already played some out there. They would be crazy to move him.
Ooh, interesting, I hadn't seen that. I got to see him a bunch this year, and he looked good at 3B. I also saw them working him out at 1B in pregame, but didn't get to see him in the outfield, so it must have happened after his move to Memphis.
He is going to be an offensive force, no matter where he ends up.

Royals hire my former college classmate as manager. Awesome.

The Gold Glove winners were announced today for the National League and the Guardians… sorry, I mean the American League.
There were a record 14 first-time winners – it seems we've finally left the old days of awarding DH Rafael Palmeiro a Gold Glove because "reputation!".

I didn’t realize they gave utility players Gold Gloves.
Good for those two
And great for Mookie, # 6 for him
No Red Sox won.

It's the first year for Utility players, I think. It's a small but awesome change.
Swanson is going to get PAID
Is it just my faulty memory or did they really
used to announce the MLB awards during the World Series? Seems they’re getting announced Nov 14-17
Finalists announced Nov 7

Like Cy Young, MVP, Rookie of the Year and Manager of the Year?
No. That was always done in November and it was dragged out over three weeks. It got baseball some press back in the days when once the season was over, the sport went into hibernation.
If he was so awesome…. How come the Dodgers haven’t won anything since ‘20???
But seriously…. The Dodgers will just resign him, yeah?
Add another Japanese star to the mix:

Martin Perez getting a QO is insane to me. Apparently projections are 2 years 25M and I know he just had a stellar year, but that has buyer beware all over it for me.
The other QO offers, most of them obvious:

The Giants must really like him and feel that the alternatives to replace him aren't attractive. He did hit really well this year (144 OPS+). His WAR takes a hit because of abysmal defense. Maybe they think he can DH more?
Ji-Man Choi being traded to Pittsburgh is one of the best things to happen to the Red Sox this off-season.

Houston #Astros GM James Click actually was fired. He was offered a one-year contract and raise from his $1 million salary on Monday, turned it down in pursuit of a longer contract, and was dismissed Friday after publicly airing his grievances at the GM meetings.

The Houston Astros also fired assistant general manager Scott Powers, sources told ESPN. Powers was a former R&D executive with the Dodgers who was brought in as an AGM by James Click in January. Now Click and Powers are gone from the World Series champions on the same day.
