I'm sure they will look to trade Kubel before Upton.

Chris Perez incoming!

I was tempted to post after I saw Link get upset about trading Mike Nickeas. That was a good laugh.

 

[jbug617]

Jerry Sands and Stolmy Pimentel are part of the deal for Hanrahan. Pirates will also receive 2 more players

You're not even getting the big picture.

Josh Thole was an integral part of the future. Mets got hosed, it's one thing to give up Nickeas. But Josh Thole? Fuck that, no GM would trade a stud pitching prospects for Thole.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Six players are involved in the deal. Four going to Pittsburgh, two going to Boston.

The only players known right now are Stolmy Pimentel and Jerry Sands going to the Pirates and Joel Hanrahan going to the Red Sox.

Curious who is heading there. I liked the idea of Brian Wilson, but if this isn't too costly a much better deal.

Ugueth Urbina was apparently released from jail today. He's still just 38 someone should sign him!

 

[CygnusXS]

I'm guessing it's Upton that gets traded. Who would want Kubel?

Didn't he hack a bunch of people to death with a machete? How was he released already??

i would assume he would have trouble getting into the US considering he is a convicted criminal.

 

[Square Triangle]

I really hope Tigers make more moves, Double D just recently said that everything seems to be set for the Tigers next season. Obviously, he wouldn't come out and say his plans but it lets me slip away from hope.

 

[darkside31337]

Man that Ryan Freel story is pretty nuts and sad. Just awful.

 

[eznark]

Holy shit

 

[nateeasy]

:'(

 

[rando14]

Ahahaha Raul is back with the M's? Third times a charm.

 

[JABEE]

Just read about Freel. That sucks.

 

[dmag1223]

RIP Ryan Freel. Loved watching that guy play.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Googled "Ryan Freel concussion" and found a quote about him talking about all the concussions he'd suffered. Sad stuff :\

 

[cashman]

Rest in Peace Ryan Freel (and farney).

 

[Windu]

for some reason the braves are interested in scott hairston. Reed Johnson and Scott Hairston are both RHB and hit LHP not RHP. Both can be played in CF if needed (hairston more so). I really don't see why the braves are going after Hairston, he seems redundant.

Heard that rumour the other day. Elicited a big fat "meh" from me.

I've spent some time today putting together reasonable offers for Justin Upton, now that he might be available again. I think I have a problem.

Well, he also set them on fire.

Wait what? LOL NO.

Cute...

BUT NO.

Don't let the Mets' desperation to play their best hitting OF fool you. You don't want him in CF at all.

$2.75 million! Fuck this I'm out. Doyers time.

 

[darkside31337]

Swisher for 4/56.

Steal for the Indians. Can't believe the Yankees just let their 2nd best hitter from last season walk away.

i agree, that is pretty cheap for Swisher. Good for the indians.

 

[jakncoke]

So we got basically nothing for Hanrahan?

also damn at Freel

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Swisher's deal has a $14 million option for 2017.

He can't hit in the playoffs. Fuck him!

I'm surprised no other team offered him more than that.

 

[darkside31337]

Yankees won't have to worry about that this year.

 

[harSon]

All of the players aren't known yet, but I'm glad we're getting something because it's clear to anyone who watched the Pirates last season that Hanrahan is going to regress HARD this season. Relief pitchers/closers come and go at a moments notice, so I'm glad we were able to ship him away before he slid into nothingness.

Sorry but its been a disaster of an offseason for the Yankees.

Swisher was their second most productive hitter this season. They gave a 2 year contract to a 39 year old corner outfielder who has no power and doesn't get on base often enough. They lost their best reliever. They're replacing their starting catcher with Cervelli. Their starting third baseman is out at least the first 3 months of the season. And they're still banking on the fossils that are the like of Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera.

David Robertson is still on the team, and those old fossils are still good.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Mark Melancon is one of the players going to the Pirates.

So now, Pirates get Mark Melancon, Stolmy Pimentel, Jerry Sands, and an unknown player and the Red Sox get Joel Hanrahan and an unknown player.
