I think Contreras just saw the Realmuto rumor:

Willson Contreras @WContreras40
Lol....

If you "cut in line" and grabbed Realmuto, you could probably get something pretty nice from the Astros for Contreras.  They would like that extra two years of control.

How about Contreras and Quintana for Syndergaard?

I would not trade Contreras straight up for Realmuto. 

And trading Contreras for an outfielder would depend upon what we had to give up to get Realmuto.

Why not just trade the guys you would have traded for Realmuto, for an outfielder.

I assume that they have already have an agreement with Torreyes to resign him to a minor league contract with a NRI invitation to spring training.

Of course, it depends upon what the specific team in question wants.

Could you trade Alzolay and some lower level parts (Lange, Marquez) for Realmuto?

Could you trade Contreras to the Astros for Kyle Tucker, with pieces parts added to both sides to balance it out?

Would any of that make sense?

The price on Realmuto is a lot higher than Alozay. They are asking for Tucker or Whitley from the Astros.

Kareem Hunt, who's been a superstar for the Chiefs this season, immediately released after revelations about violent behavior towards women come to light.

In February and the team knew about it then.

But he denied it!

On that note, it's fascinating that Russell's widely-praised apology today was for something he denied doing in the first place.  Which "past behavior" is he apologizing for - the domestic abuse or lying about it for 18 months?  Or I guess one should say, which behavior is Boras' PR copy writer apologizing for?

If he had continued to say he didnt do it then you would have complained because he didnt accept responsibility and apologize but if he accepts responsibility and apologizes he's admitting guilt right?

So what you're saying is he's a wife beating bastard and belongs in the pit of hell?
