Huge thanks to the Braves for signing Josh Donaldson today. My fear of this off-season ending with us overpaying josh donaldson has been disposed of early!

Cubs pick up Johnny Field. Hunnie must be about ready to throw up.

Transactions:

11/20/18    Chicago Cubs sent RF Johnny Field outright to Iowa Cubs.



....so he's eligible for the Rule 5 draft on December 10th.

Some interesting names in the non-tender list.

Wouldnt mind taking a run at Boxberger, Owings, Schoop, Blake Parker, Shoemaker. Fiers, Tim Beckham.

Billy Hamilton also available but he's looking for a starting job and we have enough contact issues.

Re: the Robertson article.  When your guaranteed to make $23,000,000 over two years how much of an incentive is it to get an extra $50,000 for being al All Star?

Yanks sign Tulo and DJL, i think they are likely out on Machado at this point. If its between the Sox and Philly, I like our chances. Unless Harper signs somewhere soon and philly opens the checkbook wider for Machado.

I still remember Robinson sliding into Al Weiss at second base and tearing up his knee. Weiss was my older brother's favorite player on the Sox.

I remember that. Cincy traded him for Milt Pappas and then Frank wins MVP, what a steal for Baltimore.
