How much was the mlb tv last year? I believe they have an option to watch just one team?

 

[BFIB]

That is one strange move by the Brewers. Carter wasn't great but I still think he's a much better bet than giving Thames 3 yrs and buying into his KBO numbers.

Only reason I see them doing this is that Thames fared better defensively and can steal a base or two. I'm assuming Carter would also command a higher AAV, so the Brewers freed up some cash also.

Other than that, I agree, Thames will likely revert back to his .250/300 slash line he had prior.

EDIT: Just read that the Cards are interested in Turner? Can he play CF?

There is a 1 team package that allows you to follow your team for 84.99

But the caveat is you can only watch the road broadcast.

If you are in Canada it is probably cheaper and better to grab SN Now considering for 24.99 CDN, you get all the Jays games alongside other SN programming.

What team do you normally watch? If its regional blackout, then MLB.TV won't be much help. I went to PSVue or Sling for that option.

Our current 3B is a Gyorko/Peralta "platoon." If Turner doesn't cost a lot, I'm fine with him. And look to the trade market for a CF (possibly trading Gyorko while his value is highest).

Thames had insane numbers. Gold Glover over there also.

Cespedes going back to the Mets

 

[Choomp]

Ces back!!

 

[BigAT]

4 years, $110 million.

 

[CheDominik]

4 years, $110 million.

That's not a bad deal for the Mets.

 

[Mifune]

A season ago Ces was nothing but an overpriced rental who would never return to the Mets.

 

[BFIB]

FFS, they could have saved a ton by having Tebow out there instead at league minimum!

 

[Mortemis]

4 years, $110 million.

Honestly thought he'd get more. At least in years, thought he'd get 5.

Comes with a full no trade clause fwiw.

 

[Link]

Awesome deal for the Mets. Glad it was taken care of early this offseason.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Ces is back!!

 

[Dominican Power]

Remember when Tijuan Walker had next? Damn

 

[Silver Arrows]

Well there goes my wet dream of Donaldson - Cespedes reuniting on the Jays

 

[GK86]

Yo!!!!!!


Love ya.

I would like to see him traded. There's way too much going on in the outfield. In the infield too, for that matter.

Hey bro, i see you keeping up with the WBC news also!

 

[Silver Arrows]

Hey bro, i see you keeping up with the WBC news also!

I'm starting to get excited. With the success the Jays have been having, Baseball Canada would be insane not to capitalize on the nationalistic fervor going over Canadian baseball.

But knowing the Pool we're in, chances are we get bounced pretty early.

 

[Choomp]

I'm kind of intrigued too because it looks like Team USA might be somewhat serious. Hopefully some more big names come on board, I saw Stanton was considering it

 

[jello44]

Astros were reportedly in on Cespedes. Now looks like they are going after EE.

Who needs starting pitching?

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Yadier Molina will play for PR in the WBC.

Jose Quintana will be pitching for Colombia.

Astros are in pursuit of Rich Hill.

GOD IS GOOD Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch Rich Hill fuck around and get $100 million.

We live in a world where RP are gonna get upwards of that.

Rich Hill gonna make bank.

Also Alex Jackson will be moved back to catcher, hearing that a lot.

Oooh, Democracy 3 is also in there. Not a game for everyone though.

 

[BFIB]

I feel like I need to save these Mets posts. For when the revert to Mest and the heel turn on Cespedes takes place.

 

[Silver Arrows]

I'd say the Mets have reliably held that mantle for a good while.

 

[BumRush]

Really excited to have Ces back (and a decent contract all things considered)

This ain't Jason Bay, Yo already a Mets legend for the HR against the Doyers. I'll always love the dude.

Oh fucking man...Jason Bay. Apparently he was from Trail too. I wonder what is in the water that makes them have so many good athletes.

 

[BFIB]

I remember when the BFIB was all over Bay's jock and we signed Holliday instead.

Oh, BFIB, you silly.

Agent for Encarnacion saying Jays are showing 'the most love'

Paul Kinzer told TSN in an interview Tuesday that three teams have told him that they’re waiting for Major League Baseball to sign a new collective labour agreement before making Encarnacion a contract offer. Baseball's CBA expires on Thursday. It's unclear whether MLB would lock out players if the deal expires before a new deal is reached.

Kinzer noted the $27.5-million-per-year deal reached Tuesday between the New York Mets and outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, calling it a good comparable.

“[Cespedes] is a great player,” Kinzer said. “Edwin is the biggest offensive force on the market, so it doesn’t look like we were out of line with our expectations.”

Kinzer previously told TSN that he hoped to secure a five-year contract with Encarnacion worth at least $125 million.

I don't believe it. He's clearly saying this to drive up his price from other teams. The days of EE in a Jays uniform are probably over.

Gleaner Torres named best prospect in the AFL by Baseball America.

Heavy price the Cubs paid for Chapman, but certainly turned out to be worth it.

Damn the Yanks are going to be scary in the next few years. Rebooting that dynasty.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Mets actually paid the man,wow! Now to dump Bruce onto the Jays.

I'd do the trade again today. Worth 108 years.

Still glad we held on to jimenez over Torres.

Eloy will be a fucking monster.
