Remember last offseason when there were rumblings of the Rays making a substantial offer to Freddie Freeman? Ludicrous, we all thought (probably) based off of what we have seen from the team and how they have operated in the past.

Now, it seems that same spending desire has carried over to this offseason as well as they have been mentioned as sniffing around Jacob deGrom. Imagine deGrom on a team that develops pitching like Tampa Bay does. It would have to be some kind of crazy money, short term deal, but that’s what’s been predicted deGrom will get anyway this offseason.

I just thought that was interesting.

On to the links.

Phillies news:

• Lots of people like to rank what the Phillies need to do this offseason. Do you agree with this one?
• If you want to believe Dave Dombrowski, the surgery for Bryce Harper does not alter their offseason plans.

MLB news:

• Disney will pay $900 million for the remainder of BAMTech, money that each team will receive a cut of.
• Tony Clark has been given a five-year extension as head of the MLBPA. It could be debated if it’s the right move.
• The Nationals made a solid buy low/sell high move, signing Jeimer Candelario to a one year deal.
