Yamamoto to Dodgers for 12 years, $325 million.

There are risks, says the headline, to a 12 year contract for a pitcher coming out of the equivalent of AAA baseball. Imagine that.

I imagine Giants will chase Snell and/or Imanaga. Snell will get 5-6 years, $125 mms. to $150 mms. Maybe Jung Hoo Lee's buddy Ha-Seong Kim from the Padres at SS.

Chapman is a gold glove 3B (has four of them, actually), was first in DPs last year for a 3B, 2nd in range factor, first in career fielding percentage. He's the real deal at 3B. His OPS+ was 108, not bad. Hit 17 HRs last year, and 27 each of the two prior years. Was 4th in doubles in the AL last year, not too shabby. Was AL player of the month in April this past season.

Trade JD Davis and David Villar for...whatever they can get, maybe a throw-in with a pitching prospect to Milwaukee...they need a 3B.
