Seriously, half the starting roster is Flowers, Garcia, Kemp, and Markakis. Plus Peterson. But people think we should trade young position players for 3 years of Sale? When our best MiLB commodity is pitching? Hard nah.

Great deal for the Yanks. DH and he's healthy, enjoy him council!
Trading some pitching, fine, I can understand, we have plenty of pitching talent in the farm system. But trading away a stud 19 year old 2B that's already dominated in AA when we have a serious lack of impact hitters in said farm system for a pitcher? Fuck that. Especially when 2B is our weakest position in a lineup filled with weak hitters.
Agreed.

I would imagine any conversation starts with Schwarber.
I think you are confusing think and want in my case.
I want the braves to get screwed as I am a white sox fan. I don't think they should trade for sale lol.
it's possible. The cubs and white sox have traded in the past, but it would require the cubs to put together a huge package.
to be fair it's not like the braves have given you much else to talk about recently >.>

I had a lot to say about Hector Olivera.

Kinzer has said that he expects Edwin to be signed by the Winter Meetings, and I agree. It seemed as once the looming threat of the CBA and a potential lockout came, it kind of put the brakes on somebody signing them.
That being said, I don't think Jose is going to be signed. He certainly won't be signed by the Jays, especially if they seem hellbent on getting Dexter Fowler.

Hook him up with Alex' supplier and that's a bargain.

Edwin will be first, and chances are he stays with the Jays and becomes the full time 1B now that Colabello has been tendered.
Jose isn't coming back unless the Jays don't get Fowler.

Anyone want to do some predictions?
Here's mine:
1. Red Sox sign Edwin Encarnacion
3. Cubs package Soler in a trade for Chris Archer
3. Dodgers trade for Justin Verlander and resign Justin Turner
4. Nationals trade for McCutchen
5. Cardinals sign Fowler and package Luke Weaver and other prospects in a package for Evan Longoria

I, for one, welcome the return of our Yankee overlords.
But Selig can eat one the prick. Put all the juicers in now, voting Selig in says that MLB doesn't really care about PEDs at all.
They change uniform designs every year. But they won't go brown and gold full time because they are a stupid, stupid organization.

Trade Trea Turner you idiots. Do it.
Fine with me.

Not just that, he should be in prison for what he did to the Montreal Expos.
Selig in the HOF is an insult to the game.

If they think they have the prospects to get both, then they aren't getting McCutchen Lol

Lmfao if the Jays bring Bautista or EE back on club friendly deals.

There were no winners in that deal.
Braves got Joey Wentz out of it so... Good enough!

Get out that checkbook, Crane.

Marlins have supposedly offered 5 years/$80 million to Kenley Jansen. Wow.

i just have no faith whatsoever in him staying healthy/good for any decent amount of innings in one season, let alone 2 or 3. then again, he wouldn't have to pitch that many innings to earn 40+ million.
you're right though, i was looking at fangraphs crowdsourcing numbers and i probably underestimated what he'll get.

Sounds like Jays are talking to Steve Pierce. Orioles are interested in Michael Saunders

Pearce to Toronto.
Watching the mlb.com coverage at work. Of course Harold Reynolds is there...

Holy shit. 2 yrs 12.5 million. That's not quite bad. If only they didn't sign Smoak last season lol
Oh, bye bye EE I guess. This time for sure.
yankees have CC and ARod off the books. Potentially Tanaka. They obviously have the pockets to get it done and a young and up and coming core of players. Hes going to get 220mil.

That bullpen would be super stacked. That's if David Phelps goes back to the pen.

I think Archer is their main target. Gut feeling.

Pierce for 2 years, 12M is good. What else do the Jays need now? I know we need a backup catcher
BFIB

It's going to cost a lot I'd imagine. Starts with Soler, after being denied Schwarber, Bryant, or Russell of course.
That's the Cards issue. Any trade starts with Reyes, and we don't have near as many pieces.
