Rumor has it Daniel Norris lives in a VW van during the offseason.

 

Thought this was a joke...but nope.

Well, earlier we doubled-down on lefty 1B that look like they could play on a beer league softball team. Maybe they wanted to add another eclectic environment-loving lefty to the pen.

How do the Cubs get that for expensive and old Kimbrel, but we could never find a team to back up a dump truck for Hader?

 

Yeah kinda weird. Hader is far cheaper than Kimbrel too. White Sox really going for it I guess and were willing to dump guys that won't help right now.

Who says they haven't? We have no idea what other teams have offered for Hader. It is quite obvious that the Brewers have an extremely high value on him. All this deadline is proving is that when the time comes to deal Hader, regardless of how much control is left on him, they are going to get a nice return.

Reports out there the league isn't high on Madrigal. I could see it. High average but doesn't walk much and not much power. In a league of OPS he doesn't grade out as well. But if he develops power with age then he could be very good

It has been well reported in prior years the Brewers had interest in trading Hader. Not sure that was as much the case this last offseason, but it had been in prior years.

In general 2B is a position that is consistently overlooked in MLB. Its why you can get a 3 win 2B like Wong at 3/$25M while paying $10M per year for the hope Garcia blooms into a 3 win outfielder.

too many rumors....can't keep up
"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006
