Kent Baseball Players in the Pros - 2021 Version
I guess we never set up a 2020 version, so might as well get ahead of the game.
Okay, today’s news: Travis Shaw was nontendered by the Blue Jays and is a free agent again. My take: Shaw would have been in line for $5M in arbitration and everyone’s assuming that free agents will not be getting great salaries because of the COVID, so Shaw probably is looking at getting half that in free agency. He did play better in 2020 than his terrible 2019 season, but it still wasn’t all that good. I don’t think Shaw should really be anyone’s “Plan A” but if I thought there might be a need at third or first, I think Shaw would be on my list for “Plan B” of guys to bring in. Say, the Blue Jays, who will have questions about Guerrero going to third and I wouldn’t be surprised if Shaw ended up back there on a cheaper 1 or 2 year contract.
So, Travis Shaw and Andrew Chafin will be on the free agent market. And, for now, Eric Lauer and Taylor Williams are on the Brewers and Padres 40-man rosters, respectively in a reverse from last year. More on that later.
