It took a special kind of inept to have a player development system as bad as the Twins had, considering it basically stunted Buxton at AA.

Too little too late doe.

I did analytic work for the twins in college, and even back then (8ish years ago) the player developement was really, really lacking. The size of their player developerment department was a fraction of most team.

What sort of penalties can the MLB impose on the Cardinals now that that hacking bastard got sentenced?

enforce stronger passwords?

matt bush got less time for almost killing someone.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

The Sox losing to that AAA lineup last night pisses me off an irrational amount.

Damn you Price.

A maximum fee of $2m, maybe some financial compensation to the Astros (around ~$1.7m, which is what the information was valued at)

You shouldn't expect much more than that

 

[Windu]

Thanks for taking one for the team Chris!

MLB will punish the cardinals as well.

Jon Morosi brings up a good point on Josh Donaldson: the Jays could trade him to a prospect rich team (He said Dodgers) if they can't reach a deal when his contract expires in a year and a half. Dodgers need a 3B.

It could be very alluring getting Urias + another high level prospect for Josh. What say you Doyers-GAF?

I don't think the Doyers would bite. They are going to need Urias in that rotation and he's cheap.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Yeah, but you are getting arguably the best 3B in baseball if the deal went through, and stability is always nice.

Still, I think Atkins & Shapiro aren't going to let go of Josh, especially if they lose both Jose and Edwin this year. Still, if I was them I would keep it in mind.

I just threw Urias' name out there since he's the only Dodger prospect I know.

What about draft picks? As I understand it it was related to roster building or somewhere around there.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Full notes of Jon Morosi on Tim and Sid:

-Jays are focusing on starting pitching, a new name popping up is Jeremy Hellickson.

-With the Smoak signing, the chances of EE leaving are increasing. Morosi said that Shapiro and Atkins will most likely not want to pay a 30+ year old the money that will be asked.

-Rowdy Tellez could be the DH next year, as Morosi thinks that the new FO is focusing on homegrown talent.

-The Jays will most likely be looking to extend Donaldson this off season, and maybe look to trade him for high level prospects if a deal cannot be reached. A team Morosi mentioned was the dodgers.

-The front office might be looking to balance out the payroll a little bit by letting go of the high-profile free agents.

MLB has never taken away draft picks, ever (it may not even be possible). The closest thing was what the Red Sox did with international amateurs and Manfred is already on record saying that these two things arent comparable.

They were celebrating a 14-0 win where they no-hit the other team.

 

[GK86]

Travis should stop throwing to second base.

 

[Choomp]

Matz did not look good today at all. Surprised that he only gave up 3

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Stropy somehow got out of it.

Dodgers are better off taking a chance at getting him through free agency. He would cost too damn much through trade.

[sf2fanatic]

I don't think the Doyers would bite. They are going to need Urias in that rotation and he's cheap.

From what I heard the other day on Dodger talk is that if the Dodgers don't resign Turner next due to another team paying him big, their next target would be trading for Longoria in the offseason. Or maybe sooner

 

[Silver Arrows]

Hey, it gets us closer to the division, so thanks!

Dodgers are better off taking a chance at getting him through free agency. He would cost too damn much through trade.

Yeah, but still, the Jays priority will be signing one of Jose or Edwin (And considering what Morosi said, they are leaning towards Jose, as much as I wouldn't do the same) and then Josh. But...

Yeah, I think I remember Morosi saying that as well. Still, if I was the Dodgers, I would look into Donaldson.

I don't think we'll pay for Donaldson. Otherwise we'd still have Grienke.

Great comeback by the Marlins! I see the Mets lost too, thanks Cubs!
