They didn't have to give up Francis Marte for him, good deal for HOU.

Giants get McCutchen. Another declining star. I wish they’d go younger.

The #SFGiants were never involved in JD Martinez free-agent market, and now say they also are out on Lorenzo Cain after grabbing Andrew McCutchen.

Sources: #Pirates signing LH closer Felipe Rivero to four-year contract with two club options. Guarantee believed to be about $22M, with each club option $10M. Deal will cover all four arb years and potentially two FA years. Not clear if an agency was involved in negotiations.

The expectation within the industry is that the Pirates will work to move Josh Harrison, as well. They've been discussing him with other teams. His contract has club options at $10.5m, $11.5m for 2019, 2020.

Free agent Wade LeBlanc has agreed to a minor league deal with the #yankees. It includes an invite to big league camp and an out clause at the end of spring training. He’ll earn $1M if he makes the big club.

Where does the team get the $22-$24M to add to the payroll?

I don't think baseball cards are at a premium right now, so I doubt he has a $24M collection. Regardless, that affords us one year out of 4/5

Who’s going to take that contract and why would they give us anything to take it?

And really, is JD worth a 5 year investment?? Don’t think so...
Give him a two year deal with a player option for the 2nd year. Totally deal worth $45 Million. That’s all...

scott boras generally doesn't discuss offers or non offers, but he did say the report of a $100M five-year offer by boston for jd martinez is "not accurate." (me: that does seem off/improbable as an offer since cespedes got $27.5M per year)
