Evertybody can not think they are in on the Ohtani sweepstakes. Something has to break the dam soon.
Darvish, JD Martinez and Hosmer might hang on for a while, as they may not get what they are asking for. Arriata, too, I suppose. But guys like Cain, Frazier, Santana, Lance Lynn, Cobb, Morrison and Chatwood, etc, aren't really dependant on the Ohtani/Stanton sweepstakes.
I would have thought that one of them had received an offer they were ready to jump on. As well, Stanton and Ohtani don't establish relative value for other guys at all. Stanton's cost per year is alrady established and Ohtani's is next to nothing.
I'm betting that in the next few days, we get a flurry of signings, as GM's get tired of wating and so do players.
But this is indeed weird. A good thing is that we haven't heard any Jon Jay to the M's talk for a while. I heartedly approve.
