Thanksgiving was about a week ago, but I still feel like a turkey. As I sit at home waiting for some baseball news, my neck is out, just waiting for the blade to come down and sever Francisco Lindor from Cleveland. But the pace news these days makes things even more agonizing, as information trickles out it’s all small and mid-size market teams shedding payroll like antigens and making the market for Lindor’s services seem even more paltry.
Then Dan Szymborski does his thing and drops the 2021 ZiPS projections at FanGraphs and reminds me of my misery anew.
