Forgot about Jay Marioti already?

Have not thought about him since he was fired from around the horn/espn lol.

Ahhh...damn it. We needed another leftie starter too.

Time to work on that Zito deal.

I bet they don't have as much cool gif action going on as NSBB does tho.

 

[Corran Horn]

It will be exciting if the loveable losers get good again.

 

[Rock And Roll]

I really do believe the Cubs will be World Series champions before the decade is over. They're definitely moving in the right direction.

Yesterday was insanity on soxtalk with hundrerds of guests until the wee hours of the morning. Everyone was hoping that the deal was announced. Baseball offseason is the best offseason.

Zaidi: #Dodgers looking actively at free agents and trades for SS - "very possible" to get a SS before end of winter meetings.

Zaidi on Dee Gordon: "He's a cost-controlled All-Star 2B.. we are not dangling him. He is our 2B."

We'll see what happens with Dee when this is all over.

After the Peavy trade talks back in 2009, I learned never to start dancing until the fat lady sings.

 

[DietRob]

Do any of you dudes play DriveClub? Apparently it works now. I haven't launched it in weeks but challenges and a lot of online shit seems to be working.

I either need a crew or for people to join the crew I created. If you play search for "MLBgaf" I think I set it as open or public or whatever. I suck at the game but it seems like you have to have a crew to take full advantage of the game.

Yeah lol. Peavy and Roberts rumors abounded.
Also Anibal Sanchez.

Please don't say that.......

 

[Windu]

Supposedly the Giants will trade for Upton and Chris Johnson if they miss on Lester. Thoughts, gigantes fans?

Upton and Johnson for Posey then send Posey to A ball just because fuck that guy.

Nick Carfardo said the Giants didn't even get to make their final offer.

What Scherzer wants.

@jonmorosi: Max Scherzer is seeking a guarantee of more than $200 million, which only one pitcher (Clayton Kershaw) has achieved in MLB history.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Mets and Rangers discussing Dillon Gee.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What Scherzer wants.

I guess you could say he wants max money

 

[CheDominik]

What Scherzer wants.

One of the teams(WAS;DET,TEX) Boras effectively runs will pony up close to that.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

If Grienke has another season like '14 and opts out he can probably ask for the same.

 

[jbug617]

Dodgers not in on Lester

@dylanohernandez: Source: #Dodgers not in on Jon Lester.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Dodgers not in on Lester

Good. Too much money.

Now give Max 200+ million.

 

[cashman]

BREAKING: Lester has signed with the Rays.

 

[BFIB]

What Scherzer wants.

Lester has to be close because you can hear the Boras BS creepin in.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

BREAKING: Lester has signed with the Rays.

Excuse me.

 

[Josh5890]

What Scherzer wants.

I can't see him getting that much. Then again I've been surprised before.

 

[Corran Horn]

BREAKING: Lester has signed with the Rays.

Mystery team

BREAKING: Lester has signed with the Rays.

Why?

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Time to go after Big Game James.

 

[jbug617]

Red Sox and Phillies are talking trade for Bastardo. Red Sox would trade prospect Sean Coyle.

decent site? link? i'm looking for anything that isnt the official forums

Isn't the goal to actually win playoff games?

2016 is plenty of time to learn.

 

[jbug617]

all the talking heads on tv are saying they think Lester pick the Cubs.

 

[billy beane]

Sometimes it's hard being an Athletics fan. These past two weeks have been extra tough seeing players like Donaldson and Moss leave, two guys who I legitimately like.

I still believe in Billy Beane though.

 

[jbug617]

Lester to the Cubs. 6yrs/$155m
Red Sox offer was 6yrs/$135m
Giants offer was 7yrs/$168m

 

[Corran Horn]

Da Cubbies

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Oh good. The long running national nightmare is over.

 

[CygnusXS]

Giants offer was 7yrs/$168m

That's a giant bullet dodged.

 

[brianjones]

nobody wants to play for the giants

 

[Jas]

Congrats Cubs Fans, you'll like him a lot.

Red Sox didn't deserve him.

Christmas at Fenway is this Saturday where the Red Sox are going to sell their Sox Pax lol

 

[CygnusXS]

nobody wants to play for the giants

trash org, will never win anything imo

 

[Blearth]

nobody wants to play for the giants

It doesn't make sense.

 

[JDeluis]

The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the foray late in the process, too, and presented an offer similar to the Cubs’, but Lester chose to reunite with Chicago president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer, the executives who drafted him in Boston.

 

[theapg]

Is he really worth $25 a year? Dude could only win 15 games on a world series team.

 

[CygnusXS]

[jbug617]

Now the reports are Giants offer was 6yrs/$150m
