This needs to be merged in with the other Garcia profile. Not sure why we are showing different 2020 stats for the same player.
I'm not an AL guy, but is Springer that much better than DJ? A difference of $6 million a year or is this just an age thing (31 vs 33)?
Springer finds a home in Toronto (or Buffalo), inking a 6-year $150 million deal. The Jays also signed Kirby Yates earlier in the day to a one-year $5.5 million deal. It was a good day to be a Blue Jay fan.
I love Trevor Bauer, oh my gosh. Calls random Dodgers fans and asks them for their best take on why he should sign with the Dodgers.
Because TINSTAAPP.
"60" for hit tool seems low

BA said he was the 38th best prospect in baseball last year and they've seen nothing to make them change their minds.
Without question or doubt, every GM talking to Brian Cashman this winter manages to slip two words -- or just one, "Jasson" -- into the conversation.
Suffered the forearm strain in late August at the alternate training site. He might have been trying even harder to impress the coaches after watching Skubal and Mize pack their bags for Motor City.

Seven starts in the majors, and none in the minors, caused Casey Mize to plummet 17 places on Baseball America's list of Top 100 Prospects.
Six starts in the majors were enough to move Spencer Howard down three places on BA's Top 100 Prospects list.
Eight starts in the Show were enough to move Triston McKenzie from No. 93 on BA's top 100 last year to No. 26 now. I'm surprised they didn't move him higher.
The bevy includes Asa Lacy, Jackson Kowar, Kris Bubic and Jonathan Bowlan.
The other end of the playing field from Ian Anderson.
He doesn't get great grades but when you do so well on the exam that counts...

—The 35 pitchers are the fewest ever to make a Top 100. The previous low was 38 pitchers in 2009. It marks the continuation of a recent decline in the number of arms that make the list each year. There were 44 pitchers on the 2017 and 2018 Top 100s, 42 pitchers on the 2019 Top 100 and 40 pitchers on the 2020 Top 100.
—The number of shortstops, conversely, continues to grow. There were 14 shortstops on the 2019 and 2020 Top 100s before the increase to 19 this year. However, many project to move off the position.
—The 23 outfielders also represent an increase from recent years. Outfielders make up seven of the top 18 prospects overall this year, making it a banner crop of outfield prospects in terms of both upside and depth.
Me, I would never trade with the Rays. I just wouldn't.
