Auction commentary

[Minnesota Twins]

This auction is going kinda strange. With so much high end pitching available people are holding back at the begining. Could make it interesting when multiple teams have saved back money for Stanton/Kershaw etc. and there is still only 1 of them...

[Minnesota Twins]

If things continue as currently situated we could have top 2nd, 3rd, and ss free agents up at the same time (by my ranks).

Should be some cash thrown around...

[Minnesota Twins]

Not illegal, but waiting 23 hrs and 45 mins to increase the bid... ugh

Correa isn't up for auction, I consider him a top 3 SS now. Numbers back it up.

[Minnesota Twins]

oh I agree, I mean the top shortstop available in the auction. I don't consider Reyes that high in the position overall.

Jose Reyes is a winner. That bidding needs to goto I think about 5 mil

[Minnesota Twins]

San Diego outta nowhere for 18 mil over 5 yrs!

[Minnesota Twins]

So...Donaldson got/will get a pretty nice deal. His agent did a great job playing 2 clubs against each other for a bidding war taking him over the 20 mil plateau.

Donaldson, and his MVP caliber stats. officially decided to sign a 5 year contract with the up and coming San Diego Padres.

Sounds like a lot of pro sport deals. This is where I want to be this was the only place I wanted to play. Oh yea this is the only team willing to pay me 25 mil a year at age 35.

Madison Bumgarner bidding....wow.

Philly in on Mad Bum out of nowhere.

There is no scenario where Kershaw doesn't wind up with 20+ mil/yr judging from this bidding.

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

I thought the Phillies learned his lesson with Darvish.

[ex-Pittsburgh Pirates]

Kershaw should get 23-25m. Take it to the bank.
