MLB - NEWS & NOTES

The Cardinals have made a $17.4 million qualifying offer to starter Lance Lynn.

The Cardinals have granted pitcher Trevor Rosenthal his unconditional release.

 

Teams had until 5PM yesterday afternoon to make a qualifying offer — a one-year contract at $17.4 million — to prospective free agents. Players who received a qualifying offer have until November 16 to accept or reject the offer.

So, who got the qualifying offers this year? These guys:

Carlos Santana, Indians
Mike Moustakas, Royals
Eric Hosmer, Royals
Lorenzo Cain, Royals
Lance Lynn, Cardinals
Alex Cobb, Rays
Greg Holland, Rockies
Jake Arrieta, Cubs
Wade Davis, Cubs

 

wasn't he disgruntled and mad at the Cards over money ?

 

i doubt the phils offer any of these guys an offer, but would love Moustakas, Cobb and Arrieta in a Phils uniform in 2018 !

 

Nope, not money... he had Tommy John and wont pitch this season as far as I know.

 

?? He was hurt in 2015 and missed 2016 with Tommy John ? He didn't get TJ again. I had him in a fantasy league and he cost me the title.

The Cardinals announced on Monday that the club has granted pitcher Trevor Rosenthal his unconditional release. This comes as no surprise because Rosenthal underwent Tommy John surgery back in August and will miss the entire 2018 season as a result.

Rosenthal, 27, finished the 2017 season with a 3.40 ERA and a 76/20 K/BB ratio across 47 2/3 innings. He was one of the game’s better closers in 2014-15, racking up 93 saves with a combined 2.65 ERA. Once he’s done rehabbing, Rosenthal should generate a good deal of interest (NBC)

 

Could be a combonation of both money and injury, I guess...

 

well he was injured 2 yrs ago and had TJ in '16. I posted the article about him being mad over a lack of extension...

Wow! I pray for all involved.

 

Your data may be old news... Cards just released him to clear up a spot on the 40-man roster and not have to pay him this up-coming season do to recovery from TJ surgery. That's according to their official site.

ROY HALLADAY DIES IN PLANE CRASH!

 

sad...

 

Will-I think you have old news.

 

as a baseball and Phils fan - freaking tragic !

 

Its reported by NBC and MLB.com, so I'm not sure what to think... doesn't really matter, I guess.

 

I had him in Fantasy this year, so he wasn't hurt for long periods and certainly didn't have TJ this year.

 

ROY NOOOOOOOO! Not Doc!

R.I.P.

 

Roy may have bee the last player that expected and did throw complete games every time he started a game.
