How long do you guys really think Hamilton is going to stay off of drugs/caffeine/etc in LA?
How long before he kills someone?
I hope whenever Mike Trout is a free agent he signs with the Yankees.
Their OF is Gomes-Ellsbury-Victorino and theoretically Napoli is at 1B. So unless they're trading Jacoby or Napoli's deal falls apart, no.Swisher has to land on the Red Sox, right? It makes too much sense

Jesus fucking christ.
Not only can Jack Z not fork up enough $$$ to stop Hamilton from returning to his former team ... he signs with another division rival and only makes things even worse for the M's.
If they don't fucking sign Swisher now I'm going to be pretty fed up with this front office and team at this point.
And now ... when the team went to Felix for a possible extension this offseason he basically told them to hold off. He knows. He knows the Mariners will forever fucking suck. Trade him now while we can get a lot of shit for him.
It's our only hope.
The problem becomes Gomes then, since the DH spot is preeeetty taken.Swisher easily takes Gomes spot in the outfield, and can back up Napoli (if Napoli even still gets signed) at 1B
Jacoby for Uggla. k thx.Their OF is Gomes-Ellsbury-Victorino and theoretically Napoli is at 1B. So unless they're trading Jacoby or Napoli's deal falls apart, no.

Cubs signing A Sanchez?
Bwah?
Read my mind. Do it!!Bourjos, Conger and a prospect for Dickey... get it done Omar.
He's already said he wants to come to the Phillies. He's a huge Philadelphia sports fan who was still talking about the Phillies like they were his team when the Phillies traded for Roy Halladay. He's from Millville, NJ.
He's spent his offseason tailgating and going to Eagles games. He's a season ticket holder.
Yeah, the deal seems fine, just... the Cubs?he is only 28/29 and has been quite good the past three seasons. I don't see anything wrong with giving him 5 years.
Dammit. I wanted Sanchez, but it looks like the Rangers didn't really target him.
Even the Cubs are making bigger moves than the Cards this offseason.
Someone in the NL Central was picking up Lohse or similar this offseason to just stay afloat. Meanwhile we get to be what the M's with money could be - patient on the pitching while CCarp/Westbrook still get it done and letting Beltran's production fade into the Oscar Taveras-era Cardinals.
Drama!
@JonHeymanCBS: "#tigers are very much in anibal mix, sources say. game not over yet."
I'm curious to see how long it takes for the first nine-figure yearly salary. It sounds like an insane figure that would never happen, but we were saying that about $25 million a year just a decade ago.pitching is only going to get more expensive as the years go by. When you account for the market inflation as well as just the general currency inflation, 15 million will look a lot cheaper toward the end of the deal. If the cubs think he can stick around and be a key ingredient to their transition to a competitive team in a few years it kinda makes sense to get him now because a pitcher of his quality will be much more expensive when they are competitive in a few years.

its amazing when you look back at that A-Rod Rangers deal. he was getting 25 per year on average back in 2001! that deal was fucking huge.I'm curious to see how long it takes for the first nine-figure yearly salary.

Olt+ for Morneau and Willingham. Fuck it.Jon Daniels liked the Mavs' dry powder plan so much he decided to emulate it.
So much cap space.
agreed. Sanchez is a quality pitcher. Dempster in the other hand, is not as good. Never been a Dempster fan.pitching is only going to get more expensive as the years go by.

We will have to reboot baseball
It is close to that already when Arod's contract could have bought the Twins and got change backSurely they'll have to implement some kind of cap at some point. Otherwise the small-market teams might as well not even be in the league.
I don't know, the recent CBA made shit even harder for small market teams so I don't really think MLB gives much of a shit. If nothing else, they should have more equitable revenue sharing on TV deals. The Twins are in the bottom-middle of the TV deals and their deal is $29 million annually. Other teams are absolutely blowing that out of the water. And the small market teams can't spend extra on the draft or in international free agency due to the hard slots and massive penalties for spending out of slot. Ugh.Surely they'll have to implement some kind of cap at some point. Otherwise the small-market teams might as well not even be in the league.
