• The Rockies Have Reportedly Signed Jonathan Gray Under Slot – Any Kris Bryant Impact?

  
  — Authority:
  It’s no secret that first round draft picks use the signing bonuses of other first round draft picks to angle for a slightly higher bonus for themselves. If a guy picked after you gets $X, well, then, you better get $X + 2. If a guy picked before you gets a bonus well over the slot value associated with his pick, ...

• Lukewarm Stove: The Giants Need Pitching, Theo Epstein on Making Trades, and Chats

  
  — Authority:
  The rumor mill is turning slowly … In a rumor headline you thought you wouldn’t see for decades, Danny Knobler reports that the San Francisco Giants are in the market – hard – for a starting pitcher. They’ve got a 4.75 ERA as a starting staff, so it’s understandable that they’d be looking. Among the ...

• Lukewarm Stove: Rumor Season Ramps Up, Checking in on the Selling Competitors, Feldman Value

  
  — Authority:
  Until the Draft – and especially in the weeks that lead up to it – teams rarely focus the weight of their front office energy on trade talks. I’d imagine conversations still happen, but the bulk of the work takes place after the Draft has happened, and the muscle has an opportunity to shift focus. It isn’t ...

• Cubs Reportedly In On Another Big-Time Cuban Player: Pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez

  
  — Authority:
  At this time last year, the Draft was taking place against the backdrop of the Cubs’ hot pursuit of Jorge Soler. We’d been hearing about Soler for months – remember those three hours when he and the Cubs had a deal back in February? – and it would be another week before a deal was  finally  done. This year, ...

• Obsessive Draft Obsessing: Appel at $7 Million or Bryant at $4 Million? Could Be Up to the Rockies

  
  — Authority:
  The mind goes to strange and dangerous places on Draft Day. For example … I see a simple Peter Gammons tweet about the Cubs not knowing who to pick at No. 2: Draft is so unpredictable that it appears the Stros and Cubs @1 -2 are in quandaries, and teams think the Rockies @3 go 1B Dominic Smith. — Peter ...

Hoyer said that no one wants to sell, but you have to take a ...

• Lukewarm Stove: Castro’s Trade Value, Feldman’s Skill, the Rangers’ Needs, and the Brewers’ Plans

  
  — Authority:
  It figures to be a quite trade rumor week with the Draft on tap, but you never know: a team could try and swing a last minute deal involving a competitive balance draft pick. Jon Heyman was on the radio this morning with Mully and Hanley on the Score, and, among other things, Heyman discussed Starlin Castro’s ...

• Lukewarm Stove: Gregg, Tradable Pieces, Tradable Draft Picks, More

  
  — Authority:
  As of this writing, the three best teams in all of baseball by record are the St. Louis Cardinals, the Cincinnati Reds, and the Pittsburgh Pirates (who are tied with the Rangers for the third-best record). Think maybe the Cubs should sell? Cubs closer Kevin Gregg (I typed that without blinking this time, finally) ...

• Kinda Sounds Like Alfonso Soriano is Ready to Accept a Trade

  
  — Authority:
  Alfonso Soriano understands that the Chicago Cubs aren’t likely to be competitive in 2013, and he also understands that they’re building for the future by trading guys like Soriano. He may or may not like it, but it’s been clear in everything he’s said that he understands it. When discussing the possibility ...

• Lukewarm Stove: The Cubs Could Have the Best Starting Pitching Options on the Trade Market

  
  — Authority:
  To my mind, the real meat of rumor season kicks off after the Draft (June 6 to 8 this year), but there’s already plenty to discuss, as the Cubs struggle to translate their underlying stats (decent) to the W/L column (not decent). I’ve noted for a few weeks now that the midseason trade market is shaping up to be ...
