Did Wilpon sell the team and I didn't hear about it?

I agree, but they still dished out some substantial money to retain Granderson and Cuddy.
I just don't see Sandy doing it and I see Wilpon making sure it doesn't happen.
I'm fully expecting Cespedes to be a short term rental.

It ain't happening I know it's not but it'd be nice if they weren't broke.

They also signed him to a 4-year deal. The Brewers were reportedly going hard for Coppolella, who wasn't under any kind of contract. They locked him up through 2019.

One of my favorite Giant.
Godspeed Jeremy!
He wrote a nice article on his retirement:

FYI: The Braves, who own the third-worst record in baseball, are still over .500 at home (39-38). They are 25-56 on the road.

Some team is going to ridiculously overpay for him based off his second half, maybe it will even be the Phils.

Braves will get Cespesdes. That's my prediction at least.
That would be an AWFUL decision for them. He's going to cost a ton and they aren't nearly competitive without a major overhaul

The Braves priority this offseason should be the bullpen. There's been rumblings they may try to get Kimbrel back.

It was a good run. Recently he seems to be more of a heart attack type pitcher but I'll never forget what hes done for the team. Now he gets to cut his hand in the kitchen in peace!

Sean GIlmartin will start for the Mets today. Also, MAtz will be available for the weekend off the bullpen.

Neat story from yesterday: Barry Zito started a game that Sean Doolittle finished for the A's. Doolittle was drafted with the compensation pick the A's received from the Giants for signing Zito.

supposedely will pitch 5 to 6 innings since slated starters will all pitch about 3 innings each

He's clearly gonna be in the bullpen for the playoffs .......probably in the long-reliever-for-a-starter-on-a-short-string role
no biggie.
He's our 4th starter in the playoffs, right?

Personally i would, but it's more likely gonna be BC on a short rope in the NLDS...

Robles been given some well-earned rest for the next 3 games.

Congratulations on a fantastic career Mr. Hudson. Nice to see the fans and the Dodgers giving the man a warm sendoff.
222 wins, 2,080 strikeouts, 4 time All-Star, 20 game winner in 2000.

Jeff Francis is pitching now, wtf. Why don't we just forfeit if Gibby wants to give his guys a rest, the scrubs are a disgrace.
Yup this is the B Team.

Tim Hudson shouldve been a lifer in ATL. I can't separate him from Atlanta,same with Chipper Jones.
Great pitcher undoubtedly.

A Bannerman Kawasaki not hung over is already a worthless piece of shit, ffs we already have the guy in the Jay costume, we don't need another mascot.

Supposedly, former GM Frank Wren completely lowballing Hudson on an offer after 2013 was one of the things that put him on the hotseat with John Schuerholz. A lot of people were pissed off at Wren for only offering Hudson a 1-year, $2 million deal (with $5 million incentives). In Wren's defense though, Hudson had a shitty 2013 and he got his ankle totally destroyed by Eric Young Jr.

Uh you do realize that the Marlins are going to probably win at least 70 games without having their best player since June? Not to mention Alvarez hasn't pitched since May, and Fernandez has only made 10 starts.
This is the best core of young players the Marlins have had in years. Probably won't make the playoffs next year, but I think they hang will around .500.
Yesterday during the celebration they mentioned that Gibby actually talked to the league about forfeiting game 2 of the double header. The league wouldn't allow it.

Is this a joke? Honestly I hate to be a debbie downer but this while thing leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I honestly hate conceeding games like they have the last two.
If they do it again in Tampa I'll be pissed. At least friggen start games with the starters and sub them later. I am a huge believer in keeping things rolling while things are hot.
They have 4 days between the regular season ending and playoffs starting. That is more than enough.

Team must be pretty banged up if they continue to rest them. I can give them a pass due to the weather in Baltimore making injuries more likely.
In Tampa is where it will start to annoy me if none of the starters get any time.
Hope they don't go in rested but rusty.

They're more likely to get hurt in that dump of a stadium.
Start them, but for a few innings.

If the Phillies had tanked the final series against the Braves in 2011, the Braves would have won the Wild Card and Phillies would have probably won the World Series that year. They would have matched up with the Diamondbacks in the first round.

Dodgers brought in Hatcher?

No, sir. Don't like it.
Will be real interesting to see what happens if they get rolled in the first round.
