Meanwhile Alan Trammell Jersey , thee first day of the MLB Winter Meetings was rather light in terms of actual moves made, but trade and free agent rumors were flying fast and furious. From news on Bryce Harper and Manny Machado to a potential blockbuster deal involving both New York clubs, the baseball world gave us plenty to talk about on Monday.Amazingly, the biggest signing of the day came from our Detroit Tigers — yes, the Tigers that we are so deeply concerned about as they slowly move through their rebuild. Detroit inked righthander Tyson Ross to a one-year deal worth $5.75 million on Monday, all but closing the book on pitching-related signings this offseason. Signing Ross gives the Tigers six potential starters heading into the new year, along with solid depth in Spencer Turnbull and Matt Hall down in the minors.The AL Central was busyRoss’ $5.75 million price tag slightly outpaced Billy Hamilton’s $5.25 million contract with the Kansas City Royals as the largest of the day on Monday. The speedy center fielder was non-tendered by the Cincinnati Reds at the end of November, but will have a chance to rebuild his value in Kauffman Stadium’s spacious outfield. Our friends at Royals Review took a look at how best for Hamilton and the Royals to maximize his value.There weren’t any other major signings in the division (or around baseball, for that matter), but the Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Indians could both be major players this week. The Twins have cast their net far and wide in search of productive veterans to help the club return to contention. Names mentioned include Nelson Cruz, Wilson Ramos http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-jimenez-jersey , and former Tigers reliever Joakim Soria.Meanwhile, the Indians are still looking to get younger. They dangled ace Corey Kluber in front of the Dodgers, Brewers, and Yankees on Monday, but don’t have any bites yet. I’ll be surprised if they actually get a deal done — Cleveland’s asking price for Kluber seems rather high — but I wouldn’t mind seeing him leave the division.Oh yeah, that Syndergaard guyThis is probably burying the lede, but the Yankees and Mets were discussing a blockbuster three-way trade involving flamethrower Noah Syndergaard late Monday evening. The move, which would bring J.T. Realmuto to Queens, seems like a horrible idea for the Mets, who are chock full of horrible ideas.While it pains me to see a franchise potentially make a move this dumb — this is worse than the Shelby Miller trade, or even the deal that brought Syndergaard to New York in the first place — I will watch that trainwreck for as long as it goes on.Where do the Tigers go from here?Not up Lance Parrish Jersey , apparently.While Ross has a decent price tag attached to him, we shouldn’t expect the Tigers to go on a spending spree, writes Chris McCosky of the Detroit News. That said, don’t be surprised if the Tigers get a lot of work done this week.But there is a different dynamic in play this year. Players, particularly those not considered top-shelf worthy, are more motivated to get their deals done quicker. Seeing so many quality players sit on the shelf without jobs into and through spring training last season changed the mind-set of a lot of mid-level players.Chris Herrmann, in particular, seems like an uninspired option at catcher. He played for Ron Gardenhire for three years in Minnesota, then again in 2017 when both were with the Arizona Diamondbacks. While Herrmann has some offensive upside — he has two seasons with an OPS+ north of 100 on his r茅sum茅 — he is a poor defender. Jim McIsaac/Getty ImagesThe 2018 New York Yankees won 100 games, which was the franchise's highest total since the 2009 Bronx Bombers went 103-59 en route to winning the World Series.However, the Yanks' playoff run last year was not successful http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-jimenez-jersey , as the team lost in four games to the 108-54 Boston Red Sox, who went on to win the World Series, in the American League Divisional Series.The sting from that defeat still bothers Yankees center fielder Aaron Hicks, per Coley Harvey of ESPN.com."I'm still not over it," Hicks said Saturday. "I'm not over it until we win."Hicks enjoyed a breakout season last year with 27 home runs and 79 RBI in 137 games.The Yankees' 2018 postseason pain was only magnified, as they had lost to the eventual World Series champion Houston Astros in seven games in the American League Championship Series in 2017. Hicks, who hadn't made the postseason in his first four seasons, was also a member of that team."I want to win a World Series," Hicks said. "I'm tired of losing. We've come so close, but I'm tired of saying we came close."The Yankees have a tough road ahead to win the 2019 World Series, as they may have to beat the Red Sox and Astros in consecutive rounds just to make the Fall Classic.However Travis Wood Jersey , the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook (h/t Ben Fawkes of ESPN.com) lists the Yankees and Astros on top of the odds ledger at 6-1 to win the World Series. FanGraphs projects the Yankees to finish with the second-most wins in the majors (95), behind only the Red Sox (96).The Bombers roster is loaded. Ex-Seattle Mariners southpaw James Paxton, who struck out 208 batters in 160.1 innings in 2018, bolstered a deep rotation. New York also brought in reliever Adam Ottavino, who registered a 0.99 WHIP and 2.43 ERA for the Colorado Rockies last season.On offense, the Yanks added some much-needed infield depth in DJ LeMahieu and Troy Tulowitzki. That duo should hold down the fort until shortstop Didi Gregorius returns. The 29-year-old, who smacked 27 homers last year, is out until midseason after undergoing Tommy John surgery.The re-signings of southpaws J.A. Happ and CC Sabathia for the rotation's back end also gave the Yankees one of the deepest starting pitching staffs in baseball.Hicks may be upset after two rough postseason endings, but New York has as good a chance as any team to win it all.
