So, when you said "the talk of Hosmer coming back will die down after the end of December when the push for season ticket sales dwindles" you meant an alleged one-time comment made back sometime in November will die down...ok, you're an idiot. |

Moose is severely undervalued, if these reports are true. Steamer has him at 2.7war and at 8M/war he's worth 20M+. He plays a premium position, just turned 29, has insane power, can really field (his metrics were bad this year but that's an aberration IMO). He can't run but so what?
He loves to play, has some great postseason experience, proved he's fully healed. I don't get that. |

Not a lot of teams looking for 3B help, plus Machado and Donaldson trade markets still hot. Angels went another route after signing Upton (going for more D at 3B with Cozart). Giants may still be in the mix and decide he's a cheaper alternative to JD Martinez signing. Philadelphia, Baltimore also may be landing spots based on trade market.

That said, Moose's overall WAR wasn't amazing, and I think you could argue he lost a step on defense. He's not quite as lean as he used to be, and it could just be the leg injury, but the eye test would tell you he let a few balls through that he used to get to. I could see a lot of teams being reluctant to hand him a 6 or 7 year deal. I thought all along he might have some issues, but I'd be shocked if he had to sign a short "prove it" deal too. |

The Rays just raped the Giants.

Surprised by Moose's market. Did they not watch him play?

I disagree. The Giants dumped Denard Span's salary in that deal. That's 11 million plus a 4 million buyout. They take on 17 million in AAV for Longoria, but all he needs to provide to break even there is 2 WAR. Even if 2017 was a new normal for Longoria, that's a pretty easy mark for him to reach. In total, the Giants added 71 million in commitments over a five year span. I imagine they'll get at least 12-13 wins out of Longoria, so they come out way ahead, IMO.

Yes, but does it open a spot for Moose to go to Tampa?
