Trevor Richards and Austin Franklin to Rochester and Rio Ruiz to Fort Worth

Fort Worth Sun Kings say thx and goodbye to SP T.Richards and RP A.Franklin as they are shipped off to Rochester to become Squirrel Cats. GM Astraea boasted ā€œHere Comes ā€˜Big Riverā€™ Rio Ruiz!ā€ yet many in the crowd seem puzzled by the Sun Kings apparent AAAA bonanza.

Fresno is ready for the season!

Few players that may not make the final active roster:

LF Corey Dickerson - High scout rating on him. 60 contact, 70 gap, 50 power, 35 eye, 50 avoid Kā€™s. Gets +5 in every category vs RHP. 55 defense at LF. Dude belongs in an OLL lineup, but going with Nimmo at LF because he can play backup CF. I think he costs around 1.5 mill if promoted within 30 days of the season.

2B Jonathon Schoop - High scout rating: 50 contact, 55 Gap, 60 power, 35 eye, 50 Avoid K. 55 at 2B but should be able to learn LF and 3B due to a strong arm. Going with Brosseau as my infield utility bc he is already trained up at 2B and 3B. Only 1.6 mill.

3B Yangervis Solarte - Thought I needed him but now I think he will be odd man out. Very average 3B but only $900k on a 1 year deal.

CF Andrew Stevenson - was going to be my backup CF but no longer needed. 50/55 contact , 50 eye, not much power. 70 at LF, 55 at CF. Will release back to owner if not traded.

SP Keyvius Sampson - Very High scout - 60 stuff, 50 movement, 40 controlā€¦ but had a very decent (by OLL standards) 4.6 BB/9 in AAA last year in 150 IP. If he gets a control boost heā€™s a mid rotation OLL SP.

Ramos and Flores could still be traded but both hit lefties very well, and should have a role if not dealt.

Milkshakes trade block remains:

Tyler Oā€™Neill (OF) - Lefty Masher, available, but not priced to move
Franklin Barreto (INF / OF) - Great UTIL option, very good power if you play him at 2B
Joey Votto (1B / DH) - Future OLL HOF
Starlin Castro (2B / DH) - Four Time All Star

I will retain salary on Votto and Castro, and they are priced to move / or can be exchanged with an unfavorable contract on another roster.

Looking for Left Handed Pitching (Bullpen primarily), Budget flexibility, Pitching Prospects, and MLB Rosterable OF

Rochester Roster shake up almost over!

Willing to eat bad one year contracts to give teams competing this year some cap relief.

Also a few more guys must go:

Eduardo Escobar 50/50 3B - Prankster personality type and useful utility guy (willing to retain salary)
Hanser Alberto 50/50 2B - good def. great contact & avoid K (willing to potentially retain entire salary)
Hunter Renfroe 50/50 OF - good power & good defense
Justin Upton 50/50 DH - still a lefty masher
Matt Carpenter 50/50 DH - good left handed discipline bat

Trevor Richards 50/50 SP - solid cheap SP option
Jordan Romano 40/40 SP - 27 y/o with a couple nice pitches

Also looking to move some minor leaguers:

30/55 Nick Simpson 22 y/o 2B (#3 org prospect)
40/45 Michael de leon 24 y/o AAA SS
30/50 Yerry Rodriguez 23 y/o AA RP

Iā€™m really slacking on updating here, but we have a new save file up through 1/28.

Tomorrow after the sim Iā€™ll look at the results of the playoff poll. Vote now if you havenā€™t yet.

The ā€™Heads are looking to shed Justin Turnerā€™s salary (2 yrs left at $19M / yr). Weā€™d be willing to retain up to 70%. Heā€™s a great hitter but weā€™re full up on great hitters and heā€™d get more playing time elsewhere. Weā€™d deal away prospects in return for taking on his salary. Some prospects are not available ā€“ please inquire within if interested.

After signing too many RP, we are also making LHP Philip Pfeifer, RP/SP Joe Ross, and RHP Robert Stock available. Utility IF Andy Ibanez and OF Mike Yastrzemski are still available as well.

New save is up! Through 2/4/2021. Will check playoff poll shortly.

Most people knew what was good for them and voted for 4 playoff teams.
