Indians go take a flyer

Not really a flyer when you likely need to guarantee $70, right?

So Suzuki doesn’t have a club option for MIN to pick up. His is solely a vesting option. If (since) he won’t reach the required PA’s then he becomes a free agent.

Hmm that’s unusual. Does look like Berardino reported it that way. Edited.

I’d like to see the Red Sox take a look at him.

I wonder if he’ll actually approach Martin/McCann. Both had a great track record of sustained excellence, and had a down year or two mixed in as well. Martin was coming off a great season, too. I think he’d fall short right now of either 5 years or 16.4-17 MM per. I think a 4/60-65 deal would be what I’d peg him for right now, or a 5/70-75.

As much as Braves would like him, I can see price skyrocketing past a point they’d be comfortable paying, even with increased payroll. Also, if QO compensation isn’t addressed in new CBA, hardly any chance Coppolella gives up a draft pick for Ramos or Wieters, even if it’s a 2nd rdr. I expect Flowers to start the year behind the plate, and they go to the trade market for an advanced catching prospect to take the reins by 2018.

While Ramos (and even Wieters) would be nice, I’d much more imagine that the Braves sign someone like Jason Castro. Castro looks like he’d be a cheap buy low candidate and hits from the left side so would be a good complement to Flowers for next season. By no means am I saying Castro is a great player, but I could see from those available that he very well could fit into the Braves plans and budget.

Not at all, I see Ramos as the only guy they go after this off-season and still have plenty of excess payroll for the years to come. He’s still young and it’s the biggest position of need for us. Flowers is nothing more than a backup, he’s been decent for us this year but it’s not like he can match that output.
Wieters is too old, I believe, to be considered.

Sox have Leon, Hanigan, Holaday, Vazquez, and former top prospect Swihart returning from ankle surgery and switching to full time catching again, hard to envision him playing for Sox with their catching depth perhaps.
Speak da Truth
Something smells fishy to me. Ramos,Arrieta and a few others coming out of no where with these kind of stats after years of being nobody’s.
I wouldn’t trust any of these players who all of a sudden turn into super stars over night. Especially when there almost touching there 30’s and now they figure it out? Come on …..really? Doesn’t seem plausible to me.

Are you serious or trolling?

I think there are 3 pretty good catchers on the market. Ramos getting the most and Weiters and Castro behind him. I think all of them end up with a 4 yr contract …. How much is the real questions.. I don’t think Castro is a buy low candidate… He will get his money.
