Up on @FanGraphs, I talk a bit about the Framber Valdez signing, a subject I was glad to insidiously filch from @_Ben_Clemens while he is away.

@JeffSpiegel No. But I will this offseason

The number of keyboard warriors who flood FanGraphs comments with "I'd hate for my team to pay for Soto" just baffles me. Do they all think they're going to get hired by the Rays front office for their brilliant understanding that great players sign big contracts?

Issuing a correction regarding the Chicago Bears: you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them"

@cdgoldstein Buddy, I've read enough Matt Levine that you'll never find me doing a parody rap

[Ben Clemens @_Ben_Clemens]

@cdgoldstein I'm not really a comic book guy. What if they make me Lose Control (cue the Missy Elliott)?

[Ben Clemens @_Ben_Clemens]

@PleaseTalkToMe1 @sarge__msu You're giving people a lot of credit here. Most of them are saying he's actually bad

[Ben Clemens @_Ben_Clemens]

@bachlaw Do you even want to go to the World Series if you can't do it with six waiver wire pickups on the roster?

@cdgoldstein But Craig I saw him take a hittable 3-1 fastball once. You're telling me a real star would ever do that? Lies

[Ben Clemens @_Ben_Clemens]

@choice_fielder Congrats!

[Ben Clemens @_Ben_Clemens]

@cdgoldstein Yeah but you just know this guy would still hate him because he doesn't play the game the right way or some other nonsense

[Ben Clemens @_Ben_Clemens]

@cdgoldstein You've got your weird Kershaw guy, we have our weird Soto guy:

The @fangraphs team and I wrote up the top 50 free agents available this offseason (or, well, probably 49 plus Gerrit Cole)

I had Wacha down for 3/16. Our median crowdsource was 3/18. He signed for 3/17. Great work, everyone.

Huge props to Cole for bearing down and getting through another inning
