One baseball man on Jay Bruce’s 3-year, $39M deal with the #Mets: “Clearly, all of the free agents are getting antsy. I understand why he took it. A lot of guys are going to do much worse.” Between 25 and 30 outfielders are still unsigned.

If all it took was $13M a year ARZ is going to regret not getting Bruce. He would have been a good replacement for Martinez.

Agreed. Unless they get JD for that

Source confirms that Addison Reed is headed to the Twins for two years and $17M. @Ken_Rosenthal was on it. At one point, Reed had three years on the table, but he wanted to be in Midwest and Minnesota is a great fit for him. Should be the closer for the Twins.

Andrew McCutchen and Josh Harrison can start packing their bags now. They could be next to go. #Pirates

Teams that have spoken with the #Pirates get the sense the Gerrit Cole deal will prompt GM Neal Huntington to be more receptive to trade offers for Andrew McCutchen. The #SFGiants are among several clubs that have had ongoing dialogue with Pittsburgh about McCutchen.

Jerry Crasnick‏Verified account@jcrasnick 6m6 minutes ago
The #Pirates internal projections about their 2018 win total barely changed with the the Cole trade. But just as the Chris Sale trade paved the way for #WhiteSox GM Rick Hahn to move other pieces, the Cole deal signals #Pirates are in listening mode on McCutchen, Josh Harrison.
