Would you rather pay Alonso 4/120 or tucker 11/345? Tucker is a much better player and is 2 years younger and allows the Mets to improve defensively at 2 positions (1B and RF). This allows the Mets to rotate DH and move Nimmo/Soto to 1B...

Not a big fan of long-term deals that take a player well past their prime? I'm a Padres fan and it sucks to think about since they have quite a few. Having Tucker/Soto/Nimmo on the same roster is workable as long as one of them can DH. But I'd still take Alonso on the shorter-term deal. I don't mind overpaying on the AAV when it's re-signing a homegrown guy still in his prime and a fan favorite.

is seager to the yankees realistic/would they even want him

"Probably not" to both questions. He gets hurt a lot, is entering his age-32 season, and has six years left. Texas would have to eat at least $10M a year to get any teams particularly interested, I think.

Offseason predictions for the Astros now that we know they're trying to stay under the luxury threshold? Seems like they are currently under by about $20 million.

Their priority is SP and that's not enough room to add one of the best free starters (Cease, King, Gallen, Framber, etc). However, they could still trade Paredes (projected $9.3MM salary) and/or non-tender or trade Jesus Sanchez ($6.5MM projected salary) and maybe a few other smaller moves to free up salary. So that's my prediction. Free up another $10-12MM and add one of those top guys.

The Brewers are already 12m over last yrs #. Does the Woodruff signing hurt them like Hoskins opt in last yr did as far as offseason moves?

It hurts them in that it's a big chunk of money tied up for a team in the league's smallest market, but Woodruff for $22.025M is a way better value than Hoskins for $18M was heading into last year. They're always creatively looking to improve but they now have all their core pieces returning and can focus on the margins.

How do you see the closer situation shaping up in TB next year?

Will be interesting to see if they revert back to the time when they'd have 10+ guys getting saves throughout the season. Fairbanks was pretty much the primary closer for the past few seasons. Now they have at least 5 guys with closer potential (Jax, Uceta, Cleavinger, Baker, Bigge). Someone can emerge from that group but they could also just mix and match.
That will do it for today. Thanks for joining us! Enjoy non-tender day tomorrow and have a great weekend.
