“That’s a tough one to answer,” he said. “We’re hopeful. We’d love to have him back in Philadelphia.”



“I think for us it was seeing what we saw in years past, what his fastball and breaking ball does to left and right, seeing it trend up toward the end of the season and betting on the person,” Roberts said. “That made it an easy decision, appreciating the fact he can pitch leverage innings and has done it with a lot of success.”

Gallo won his first Gold Glove for standout defense last season, though he struggled at the plate. The 27-year-old outfielder hit .181 with 10 home runs and 26 RBIs in 57 games in his sixth MLB season since being the 39th overall pick in the 2012 amateur draft.Colorado Rockies Face Coverings

If the Clowney trade was generally dismissed by most of the NFL, this trade was absolutely laughed at as Bill O’Brien expelled one of the Texans' most valuable assets for pennies. Johnson to anyone with eyeballs was well past his prime and the second-round pick was used on defensive tackle Ross Blacklock, who was hardly impressive in 2020. Meanwhile, Hopkins had emerged as one of the best receivers in the league and a true successor to the greatness of Andre Johnson on the outside. During the 2020 season, this trade would look even worse as Hopkins thrived with Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray and Blacklock barely saw the field during his first season with Houston. Many will point to this trade as the moment O’Brien was doomed to fail as a general manager and star quarterback Deshaun Watson began to turn away from the franchise.

With MLB free agency open for business, we're ranking all the players on the open market. These free agents are ranked based on the guaranteed money I expect each player will be offered. I say offered rather than each player's projected contract only because of Trevor Bauer, who I'm betting will get offered more than $50 million, perhaps well more than $50 million guaranteed, but I'm thinking he will opt for a one-year deal. I'm sure some other players will make decisions of this sort, but those will be more random and market-driven (hence harder to project now) and much lower-stakes decisions, such as choosing a one-year, $8 million offer instead of two years, $13 million.New York Mets Face Coverings

Fluker is questionable for the game. He has been hampered by injuries his whole career but has been a starter. He has been in the league eight years and now plays more guard than tackle. He could be someone the Cardinals look at if they want to add a veteran to the interior line. Listen to the latest from Cards Wire's Jess Root on his podcast, Rise Up, See Red.

Jon Lester said yes to his friend, Cubs president Theo Epstein by choosing the still-rebuilding Cubs and Wrigley Field over his familiarity with Fenway Park and the Boston Red Sox. Less than two years later, Maddon’s pronouncement proved correct. No one player was more instrumental in the Cubs winning a World Series and ending a 108-year drought than October-November-clutch Lester.Seattle Mariners Face Coverings
