This should come as no surprise, Realmuto has informed Marlins that he will not sign extension.

His agent said he expects Realmuto to be traded before spring training starts. Lets see what happens.

Hard to go against Vegas, but I think they're off the mark here. If Philly gets both, then where does that leave them when Mike Trout becomes a free agent?

Bullpen help, bullpen help ****ing bullpen help. Also acquire two established starters, and two pieces in the lineup. I guess a corner outfielder and a catcher.

My goals are ambitious. We know I'd rather have proven players than prospects. So I'd be willing to break the bank for guys like Bumgarner and Posey if the Giants are going to start dumping, deGrom if possible, Kershaw if possible, etc. Not interested in Machado at all. Interested in Harper but I don't think he's worth the price tag.

My guess is that we won't be that lavish.

Gut feeling is the Braves manage to get him.

I'm sure Trout will take a hometown discount of 12 years $450M

I’ve read we’re expected to have about $30M to spend. I think we deal some prospects for Realmuto. Can’t see us signing Harper, and the other FA OFs are underwhelming, so I think we deal for a corner OF. We spend our remaining cash on a veteran starter and bullpen help. But I’ll be surprised if we sign any of the big-name guys.

Possible. I have a feeling he ends up with a team no one would have guessed if he is actually traded.
