Sasaki and his agent Joel Wolfe are looking at the offer sheets. Sasaki no doubt is well sought after last season had a 2.10 ERA, with 505 strikeouts, 88 walks, in 394 2/3 innings looks like he can help a team.
#2 The Washington Nationals signed pitcher Trevor Williams to a two year $14 million deal. Williams has a 4.30 ERA in 202 games. Williams pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago Cubs and New York Mets. How do you see him helping the Nats next season?
#3 Well Amaury do the Arizona Diamondbacks get high marks for signing pitcher Corbin Burnes who passed his physical on Monday signed for $210 million, a six year deal. Burnes pitched for the Baltimore Orioles last season going 15-9 with a 2.92 ERA.
#4 The Los Angeles Angels who at one time were one of the premier teams in MLB between 2002-2009 have made bad decisions, have had poor player signings and finished last in the AL West last season. Angels owner Artie Moreno at one time considered moving the team out of Anaheim to Long Beach. Amaury how much dysfunction do you see the Halos having going into spring training in February.
#5 The FBI has warned professional athletes that burglaries are becoming rampant or the target of thieves and break ins of players home. This has been more frequent at NBA and NFL players. Burglars target players home thinking high end property would be at the homes such as jewels, designing hand bags, watches and money.
