This is my favorite video that you put out every year! One thing I’ll point out is that I doubt the Cubs will have a rotation of Snell, Imanaga, Wood, Steele (all lefties) unless Wood is bullpen
I don’t think starting pitching staffs being full of lefties or righties solely is that big of a deal. Teams set their lineups based on the starting pitcher, lefty or righty it doesn’t really matter that much to have all of one hand in the rotation.
I understand your a Cubs fan but I'm praying we trade Nick Cas our no3 pitching prospect and suck up one of your one year horrible contracts two years if NES for Suzuki I forget the name of that piching prospect u got been there I think 3 years and I like wood thought he was underperforming in SF guys got good stuff when healthy but getting older
1000% respect the 1987 Topps aesthetic. Throwback to classic more unique days and I love the wood-esque border. Has been and will always be my favorite Topps card design
Clearly you just didn't like the Yankees if you know baseball Yankees stadium is great for a hitter like bellinger because you really can't make an educated argument by what you just said 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
@@MrUnik88Yankees are clearly on a decline, it’s not a great place to play morale wise, and the Cubs are on the rise with the addition of one of the best managers in baseball. Why would he ever choose the Yankees over the Cubs?
@MrUnik88 Yeah idk about that one, especially with all the junk Cashman's been saying. I don't think they get anymore than one reasonable name on the market this year. Besides, Soto would be a better bet for you guys anyways.
Yeah I think Mo knows his head would be on a pike if he signs a load of washed up middling pitchers again And as much as I would love to see him back with the birds on the bat there is no room for Wong
love the use of the 1987 Topps Set , literally the most overproduced year of any Topps Set and they tried so hard to bring back the look of '61 on the wood paneling.
@@Emmathelady Fellow Giants fan here, I don't like the idea of the Giants signing Chapman. We have J.D. Davis who put up similar offensive numbers to Chapman this year and plays better defense. That move to me makes no sense. I think more than anything the Giants need more starting quality starting pitching. Personally am hoping the Giants can sign Yamamoto. As for a bat, as much as I am not a fan of the idea, I think Bellinger is probably the better target. Zaidi has demonstrated he prefers more defense and our outfield defense was awful. Bellinger can also hit for power though is streaky.
as a diamondbacks fan if we sign half of those guys that is such a waste of money we only want turner, a starting pitcher like bauer, bullpen help like some of the players listed, and a power LF bat
My predictions as an Astros fan (only talking about Astros free agents) - Brantley: hangs up the cleats. Maldonado: White Sox, to be that veteran stopgap until Quero gets the call up (Lee has been awful for them) Neris: Rangers. He wants to go to a contender, he's not going to Washington. Stanek: Arizona Diamondbacks Maton: I actually agree with your Reds pick Who i want to sign: Jordan Hicks, Brent Suter, Adam Duvall, and David Peralta. Also a trade for Kyle Higashioka from the NYY to be the backup catcher.
As a met fan, obviously I want someone like shohei…but if we sign guys to really round out our roster, I’ll very happy. Personally, I want Yoshi Yamamoto, Brent Suter, David Robertson, Jake Diekman, Soler OR Teoscar, Justin Turner, and another SP
The Orioles should really go for Yamamoto. They need starting pitching and they have a roster of young guys. I mean he's the best young starting pitcher on the market. Feels like a no brainer but they don't like spending money.
Love Soler to the Jays. As a jays fan I’d love to keep Kiermaier but I can’t see a world where Varsho isn’t the CF in 2024 and you won’t use kiermaier in a bench or corner OF role. Best defender in baseball by OAA and we dealt our top prospect to get him. I think you have to use him where his value is maxed. Seems like a really bad fit for 2024
@@ssarmazi”good defensive outfielder” is understating it bro. He’s the best defensive outfielder in baseball and Moreno was literally worse than Varsho last year
@@jesussalcido6628Morosi said today that he heard from someone that Shohei was intrigued about playing for the Braves but it would have to be a super high one year AAV deal
@@heffe Lance Lynn would be a good sign assuming he can bounce back to his older self and if we are bad again we can flip for another cole ragans type of deal.
@jmoneymaker96 The main thing I want to see is the Royals sign Bobby Witt Jr. to a long-term contract. That is what I'm most worried about, but hopefully, we have a good off-season besides that.
Man, that's a lot of players past their prime going to the Angels. Flaherty, Hill,, Franmil Reyes, JD Martinez, etc. That sounds like a nightmare, which means you're probably not far off.
So far with the Cardinals Sonny Gray: Goes to the cardinals Aaron Nola: First guy to make his move, stays with Phillies, Rest of guys: haven't gone to the cards
Very interesting predictions. I too, am a huge Mets fan and boy do I hope you're right about Teoscar and I hope Sho-time comes to Queens. I'm just wondering what you base these on? Not in a bad way just curious
Ohtani is obviously between the Dodgers and Giants. It just depends if we wants to win so bad he joins a super team or he wants to be the star on a team and make them better
@@a.a677 this is too late because ohtani went to the dodgers but the giants have no superstars and have quite a lot of money to spend and could build around ohtani unlike the angels also the giants almost made the playoffs without any superstar’s

Yea kike isnt coming back to boston even if they gave him the most money nor do i think he would a be a fit back on that roster the only reason i see them signing kike is to get jt back bc they are bffs ig
Both Pham and Soler don't make sense. The braves have Acuna, Harris, and Ozuna from the Braves. Rosario left, yes, but those two guys are gonna want to be everyday players. Plus, d'Arnaud or Murphy DH when the other plays catcher.
So far the only ones right Shota Imanaga - Cubs Jung-hoo Lee - Giants Joe Kelly - Dodgers Kevin Kiermaier - Blue Jays Cutch - Pirates Ohtani - Dodgers Hunter Renfroe - Royals
Halfway through this video and the White Sox are getting 2 first baseman, 1 guy who they DFA’d in May, a journeyman 2nd baseman, and a bum reliever. I won’t see day 1 of the season if that actually happens as I won’t survive that.
@@cameronclark3927 from that and just what I’ve seen from Harris although I do like Harris. We will most likely get a cheap veteran pitcher or two like we did with Lorenzen last year, then let the young guys like Colt Keith and JHM, and maybe Jace Jung later in the year play a lot so they can see what they have. Then if needed spend big next offseason. Although I’d like to just sign some bigger dudes now
As much as I would love the vibes of having votto in Toronto we just don't have a spot for him, especially if/when we sign soler who is my dream realistic addition. In terms of Martin Perez I can't see him signing here solely based on him not being guaranteed a spot in our rotation (not selling low on Manoah)

With Bob Melvin in at manager the giants should have no trouble landing some free agents, and he also has ties to international ones.

I love the optimism that every single free agent is going to sign but I wish you also predicted the guys that will end up unsigned or in Japan
Marc: Cubs add all lefty starters in Snell, Wood, & Imanaga to add to Steele, Wicks & Smyly.
I like the all lefty approach 😆
Like your videos!!
I can see Cubs signing Snell, but not the other 2 guys. I think he was putting names in a paper bag and pulling them out
I think the Cubs go after Snell but push harder for Yamamoto. Chapman made sense but we would need that offense and bullpen help especially.
Loving the 1987 Topps look. That was the first set I collected as a kid.
Rich Hill already played with the Angels! he didn't record a single out but he pitched in two games in 2014 LOL
As a Cardinals fan, Nola and Middleton are the only two that truly make sense and would actually help them.

The Orioles should really go for Yamamoto. They need starting pitching and they have a roster of young guys. I mean he's the best young starting pitcher on the market. Feels like a no brainer but they don't like spending money.
The owner won’t pay what it’ll cost
They won’t not enough money
Orioles won’t do anything but make a trade and sign a washed pitcher
Every year Marc gives the Astros the worst players and thinks we aren’t resigning anyone. Hector Neris is an Astro

Cody Bellinger- Cubs
Sonny Gray- Cardinals
Matt Chapman- Giants
Jorge Soler- Marlins

Hopefully the royals do sign a few people we won’t get big time guys but we just need better depth in the outfield, and the pitching.

Probably for being cheap
Michael Fulmer,Tommy La Stella, Ryan Stanek, Vince Velazquez. Checking all these guys u said that are going to sign with my Rangers.
