The Toronto Blue Jays have entered into a one year, $5mil agreement with ex-Met OF Curtis Granderson.
The San Francisco Giants have traded RHP Kyle Crick and OF Bryan Reynolds to Pittsburgh for OF Andrew McCutchen.
The Minnesota Twins have signed ex-Mets reliever Addison Reed to a 2-year, $16.75mil deal.
The Washington Nationals have agreed to a two year, $7mil deal for IF-OF Howie Kendrick.
Arizona has signed ex-Mets P Tyler Pill to a minor league contract.
Good luck, Grandy. Evidently, the Mets felt he was not worth $5MM, good guy or not. I agree. He's older. I think he deteriorates.
ReplyDeleteBesides they need another RH option for the bench. Kendrick hurts.
ReplyDeleteWe are looking at a 4-man bench. Lag, Wilmer and whichever Catcher isn't starting are 3 of them. Why do we need another righty bat?
ReplyDeleteAgree Bill, Kendrick id a nice bench bat but his inability to play shortstop means he's not a fit here.

ReplyDeleteJose, Jose Jose, Jose Jose, Jose Jose.
ReplyDeleteHeck, he can cover infield and centerfield as well, and he just may now be within Wilpon price range.
By the way, while I like Bruce and fancy him a better player than Grandy as of 2018, it strikes me that signing him for $5 million as Conforto insurance made more sense than signing Bruce for $39 million as primarily Conforto insurance. Of course, so long as those monies were used to upgrade 2b/3b and the pitching. But, what the heck do I know?
