Among the teams figuring prominently in #RFA2024 round 2:

Sea Turtles (matching rights for Munoz, high bid on Kikuchi, tied for high bids on Bichette, Kelly, Garrett)

@BMBarnstormers (matching rights on Kikuchi, tied for high bid on Kelly and Munoz)

(1/2)

[This Week in Dynasty @TWIDynasty2016]

Also notable: Beach Bombers’ newly promoted GM signed Devin Williams for $20 and added 1B Nate Lowe for another $10. It’ll be interesting to see how the organizational philosophy evolves under his leadership.

A short 🧵 of notes on today’s major RFA signings:

[This Week in Dynasty @TWIDynasty2016]

Clase’s deal is the largest ever for a reliever in RFA, breaking the $27 mark set by Edwin Diaz in 2021. The Turtles are looking to kick down the playoff door they knocked on right up to the final week of the 2024 season.

Full list of RFAs returning to their clubs:

Riley
May
Tatis Jr.
Lopez
Arozarena
Helsley
Guerrero Jr.
Gallen

[This Week in Dynasty @TWIDynasty2016]

Team sources indicate Capital of Vermont will keep Fernando Tatis Jr. despite the $35 tag. Other expected decisions:

@HRU_Baseball keeping Zac Gallen

Big Red Machine will not match Merrill Kelly’s offer

[This Week in Dynasty @TWIDynasty2016]

While we await matching decisions, note that 4 players received offers their former club cannot match:

Emmanuel Clase of @BMBarnstormers ($28 by Sea Turtles)
Will Smith of @Ueckers_BAC ($26 by FCBB)
Yordan Alvarez of @HLTBaseball ($51 by BRFO)
Pete Alonso of O4AP ($45 by FCBB)

[This Week in Dynasty @TWIDynasty2016]

A league source confirms the commissioner’s processing of RFA bids has been delayed. It seems @Ueckers_BAC failed to update the illegal bids used to test the system’s controls, presumably after falling asleep emptying a bottle of Johnnie Walker. @BRosensan apparently asleep too…

@NBoka44 No doubt you’ve “got the budget to make a splash” as we noted. We just thought you might try to plug several holes with solid, second-tier RFAs rather than put your eggs in one basket. But it’s helpful to get management’s perspective - thanks for the engagement!

🚨Restricted Free Agency Preview Mega-Thread, Part 1🚨

Notes on each team’s needs, budget, and potential targets ⤵️

[This Week in Dynasty @TWIDynasty2016]

Potential WGDR targets: Sadly, RFA won’t be the vehicle for the makeover WGDR needs. With only $4 to their name, they Don’t Got Da Cash to make an add. The smart move would be shopping the productive veterans for younger talent and cutting the dead weight occupying roster spots.

🚨Restricted Free Agency Preview Mega-Thread, Part 2! 🚨

Notes on each team’s needs, budget, and potential targets ⤵️

[This Week in Dynasty @TWIDynasty2016]

We Got Da Runs (2024: 85-115-10)
Pending RFA: None
FAAB: $4
Needs: Cash, Analytics Department
Outlook: Cellar-dwelling WGDR owns just $4 and carries the likes of Yoan Moncada and Miguel Andujar. There are pieces (Seager, Sale, Bregman, Duran), but this roster needs an overhaul.
