I could see Son or Kim land fit the Royals or O’s, maybe Jays. Giants fit but will probably go bigger. Yesterday I would have added Houston as well.

Zobrist would surely be a huge upgrade as a bench player for the Cards no doubt.

Johnny Cueto would make a good setup man for them too.

Nah, he’s more a mop up guy.
cardfan2011
Well, they wouldnt really have a place for him to play everyday unless one of the regulars loses their spot

Zobrist would be a huge bench upgrade for any team, he’s just not signing to be a bench player though.
cardfan2011
My bad, I thought he was more of a bench player. I dont know him that well except he can play numerous positions. Thanks 🙂

Zobrist would be th perfect #2 hitter for the cards and can play damn near everywhere. Hell, put him at first, and fill in at 2nd, 3rd, outfield. He can play multiple positions and still be a starter

Anyone else initially confused why MLBTR was writing about a Kentucky county clerk? Interesting choice of title…

No. The rest of us are smarter than that.

The title of the article made me laugh because immediately before this article I was reading about Kentucky Kim Davis on the NYT app.

I just titled this in the same form we always do, didn’t realize the accidental reference at all.
Honestly, I pay about as much attention to “real news” soap operas as I do sports soap operas (approaching zero).

Just spit balling here, but Chris Davis could potentially be a good fit for the White Sox. He can play outfield, 3B, 1B, and DH.

Too expensive I think. I could see pitching-starved Detroit giving him $180m to man left field until Martinez’s contract expires; they could use Davis’s lefthanded bat.
rct
Well, pretty much anyone can play DH.

I think ultimately Zobrist will sign with the Cubs. They’ve got the money, the lineup flexibility, and Joe Maddon. I also think you’ll hear a story how he forwent some money to sign with the cubs. I’d guess he gets 4/$36.5MM.

He’s made very little money in his career as far as player earnings go. No chance in heck he signs such a small contract. His range is something like 3/40 to 4/70.
soxfan7
He’s made about $31MM in his career which is a lot for good (non-elite level) player – especially one that spent the entirety of his career with small, market, cost conscious teams. He was making $7.5MM a year the past 2 years, so anything above $9MM a year is tremendous raise. He’s going to be 35 in May, and $40-$70MM is a lot of money to commit to a guy with a proven track record of above averageness that will be almost 40 when his contract expires. The only 2 teams that throw that kind of money at aging veterans are the Angels and Yankees, 2 teams he would fit with.

Davis is a perfect fit for the Astros, wherever they want to play him.
