AZ Central article lists ARZ as a potential landing spot in a Kris Bryant trade. I would rather develop our farm unless you can keep Varsho, Robinson & Thomas and still land Bryant. Maybe a package that centers around Ray?

However, if ARZ is looking for a big bat at 3B then why not look into Rendon or a cheaper option like Moustakas?

Free-agent Sam Dyson being investigated for domestic violence.

Sam Dyson’s girlfriend accuses him of domestic violence on her Instagram
In the post under her cat’s name — which she writes from the perspective of the cat — she alleges that Dyson has thrown things at the cat and at her and has had angry outbursts. There’s a photo of a destroyed box that the cat uses as a house/hideout, which she claims Dyson destroyed while the cat was in it.

In her own account, she refers to being “bullied.” The posts are reproduced below.

Assuming Major League Baseball looks into this — which it should — it would not be the first domestic violence investigation launched by a victim posting about alleged abuse on a social media account. Most notably, former big league catcher Derek Norris was suspended following an investigation launched after his ex-girlfriend posted on Instagram about him assaulting her.

Whether you want to acquire Ozuna to anchor a corner outfield spot is a pretty complicated question, but the price actually shouldn’t be too prohibitive. FanGraphs predicts he will sign for four years and $64 million, which is an incredibly fair deal for a player set to put up a median 3.1 fWAR performance next year; that alone should make up over a third of the value of the deal.

There’s a chance for a bargain, even, if these offensive leaps are to be believed. Some of the projections believe partially so, as he is projected to be a 119 wRC+ hitter in 2020. Yet if he’s really the hitter behind the hard hit balls, then it’s possibly ten points higher, which is a different story altogether.

If it’s really in the opposite direction, and injuries continue to catch up to him and he finds more bad luck, then you have a league-average hitter with very poor defense in the corner, something only, maybe, an American League team can handle.

Avisail Garcia said to have a decent market and it’s easy to see why. More affordable than top-tier OFs Nick Castellanos and Marcell Ozuna. Had 111 ops plus for Tampa Bay. Only 28 and has good upside.

The Rays have acquired 1B/OF Brian O’Grady from the Reds in exchange for a player to be named and cash considerations. To make room on the 40-man roster, 1B Jesús Aguilar was designated for assignment.
