I’m calling him BJ again.

When I casually got back into baseball I didn't realize he had a twin brother, but when he switched to BJ that really threw me for a loop.

Wow. That's kind of a surprise landing spot. Best of luck to him.

He is going to give the Indians the headsup to match. Can't be true.

Edit: Damn,looks like he is gone. Do the Indians now turn to Hosmer?

We’re a better team now, right half of the board?

Huge bummer. Having that kind of matchup proof switch hitter in the middle of your order is not easy to replace, and now his haters will see that.

The big baseball brains around here are rejoicing.. Especially that AZ guy

Brutal offseason so far.

We're a worse team for sure.

I'm sure Indians have some mediocre plans but Yankees changed the landscape. Our pitching has to be literally perfect. Our hitting is at least good for 2-3 runs regardless, it's baseball.

The homer in me says Hosmer would be a downgrade (age aside), am I wrong?

Carlos was tight with a lot of guys. This one will sting internally as well.

Will be able to get someone much more useful for 1B on a regular basis. One position they can really take their pick of the 2nd tier options.

I was joking about the vocal posters who acted like Santana was awful and holding the team back the last few years. Surely we’re a better team now to them.

And they can play this in a way that makes their overall team better next year than last year, but that’ll require them trading, not playing in free agency.
