Read this on the comments over at USS Mariner:
Total fan speculation, but one I hadn't heard before...

That makes no sense. Why the fuck would The Rays take Ackley and James Paxton?
Better yet. How the fuck is Matt Kemp worth Paxton and Ackley?
Matt Kemp sucks now and has zero defensive value.

Probably why no one has ever brought it up before.
I just hope Morales isn't the only move, because that should've happened before the season started.
I saw the exact opposite of this in MLB.com's prospect watch. Some Mets fan was proposing Syndergaard, Nimmo, Plawecki, and somebody else (either Wheeler or Montero I think?) for David Price. Threw up in my mouth a little when I read it.
Edit; Is it normal that just typing MLB.com created a link? Cause I didn't create a link...

Kuma time.
Why the fuck would anyone trade anything of value for Matt Kemp? He's finished. DONE.
Nobody wants that trash bag!

If only Seattle had a hitter's ball park. They'd be able to retain these hitters.
Apparently the Mariners are now resorting to making players play here against their will lol
And a non-tarded GM!

Rosterbation is not something one should do in public.
Portland should get that small market team in st louis that is handed draft picks every year regardless of revenues. It's amazing how they can get such great talent with just the tiny city's support, such a shitty stadium and the sponsorship of that up and coming busch beer company. Between them and the likes of tampa and miami, it amazes me how they can even compete
Using a term that nick kroll came up with in public should be mandatory jail time

I heard the term Rosterbation YEEEEEARS before Nick Kroll or the League.
You still used it AFTER kroll destroyed it and made it unfunny.
Either way you deserve baseball jail

On pace for 5 more runs than last year. Imagine how bad they would be with Nick Franklin at second instead of Cano!

Cano is having one of his best seasons ever this year.
Mariners offense being the worst in baseball ain't on him. Blame your garbage GM for being completely inept at his job.
Just like Dead Ball the Steroid Era is already an asterisk.
Pretty much this. Playoffs aren't happening this year unless we turn this so called "slump" around, and I don't see that happening any time soon going up against the Orioles and Indians for 10 straight. Only thing we have going for us is two series against the Rangers and Astros :|

I'm actually quite surprised that he would even want an asterisk.

Jimmy Rollins' $11 million vesting option for 2015 will become guaranteed tonight after his second plate appearance. The only thing that would negate it is if he finishes the season on the DL. But that could also be negated if a mutually agreed upon doctor clears Rollins for Opening Day 2015.
The Mets have informed teams that they would be willing to cover up to $2 million of Bartolo Colon's remaining salary this season in a potential trade. Colon is due $9 million in 2015.

From Deadspin, "Barry Bonds Was An Alien God Who Destroyed Space-Time To Bring Us Joy". Among the most amazing stats:
I don't care if he did drugs or was a less-than-great teammate (who, it needs to be said, is paying for Bryan Stow's kids to go to college). That's almost literally playing the game with a cheat code. I know it happened just a few years ago, but those numbers just blow my mind every time I see them.
Also, holy crap was Andruw Jones good at defense.

Meh. Jack Z sucks ... but so do Cano's power levels.

And it's been shown that right field is not bad for lefties. Thing is, you can't expect power from 2B. Look at your 1B and corner OF.
Wait..what? They signed him to be a power bat because of his power so yeah, they should probably expect power from him.
I can't. When I look at those positions .... I get very sick.

Cano has only hit 30 HRs once in his career and that's playing in Yankee Stadium. No one in their right mind expected him to get 30 playing in Safeco and the AL West. I'm assuming Cano thought an approach of spraying the ball all over the field is better than trying to pull the ball and just hit HRs to justify his contract. It would of been worse if he tried that. Hopefully he finds a power surge and starts hitting them in bunches.
