Degrom to the Rangers. 5 years, $185 million.

Why do we have to play in a division that cares so much? Can we move to the AL Central?
Dipoto plays word games for a 7 year rebuild.

The Rangers decided to get it done in 2.

They add a bit more pitching and they'll be a decent team.

This sure seems like a contract that can bite you in the ass, appreciate the aggression but wow the pain can be immense later on

Rangers get their ace and sign Jason Degrom.

Our division is all getting more competative.

Interesting rumor from MLB trade rumors

The Mariners had interest in trading for Brian Anderson during the 2021 season, The Seattle Times’ Ryan Divish reports, but the Marlins wanted too much in return. With Anderson now a free agent, Divish wonders if Seattle might again look to add the third baseman/outfielder, who brings some multi-positional ability and perhaps some bounce-back potential. Anderson has hit only .233/.322/.359 over 647 plate appearances and 165 games since the start of the 2021 season, with injuries limiting his playing time. Miami opted to non-tender Anderson last month, rather than pay him a projected $5.2MM in arbitration salary.

Can't believe Astros are so dumb to continue to be in on FAs. Don't they know that the Smart GMs only focus on trades???? lol

Verlander to Mets. $86M 2 years. Vesting option 3rd year.

Together with Scherzer again at the top of the Mets rotation. A 41 year old and 38 year old. I'm not saying they're not great, and if they're in top form, a formidable 1-2 punch. But "yikes", that's a lot of money tied up in 2 guys who could both suffer a rapid, age-related decline.
