a fair point. Bellinger already has 124 PA in the postseason and is about to get a bunch more, and likewise for Seager (110)

So Jay, you're predicting the Yankees WILL sign huge free agent deals because you argue they can ignoring their recent willingness to?

That's very ... twitter of you.

That Jacoby Ellsbury contract only seems like it's going to last forever (last year is the final guaranteed one), and the Yankees were able to tell themselves the same stories about Machado's makeup as many other teams  — stories that pretty clearly don't apply to Lindor. Maybe they won't pursue him, but the odds are higher than they are for the Red Sox, who have Bogaerts signed through 2025. We could add the Dodgers to the mix if they don't retain Seager, who can be a free agent after the 2021 season.

Isn't Baez a foundational SS for the Cubs?

Possible but he's shown a positional flexibility that doesn't rule him out of playing elsewhere.

OK folks, there are still some good questions in the queue but I've got to deal with the rest of my day. Thanks for stopping by, and I'll see you next week!
