If he hits 30+ homeruns, I'll take the 200k's.

Oh come on, maybe a SECOND player will play out of his mind, or at least slightly above average, and we'll only hit 90 losses. My money's on um...is Kepler still on the roster?
would be interesting if quintana wins the cy young.
at the very least it should be fun watching people figure out that Quintana is the better pitcher between Quintana and Sale and without being in Sale's shadow anymore it will be far more obvious
if only he could get some run support

pls no. He's the new Adrian Beltre, but better at a younger age.
Honestly I think Duquette is a good GM but the way our team is constructed, we have huge glaring weaknesses and a tiny window of contention before it blows up.

It's gonna happen.
Y'all ready to spend $400 million plus? Because that's what it's going to take to sign him.
Yankees are going to have a shit ton of cash to spend that offseason and Machado fills a clear a need.
Enjoy these last two seasons with him!

Probably yeah. That Machado/Harper offseason is gonna be mental money-wise.
It's cool, at least we have that super deep farm sys.....oh wait.
Other than Machado, Britton is the only other player we'd get a decent haul for.
Oh well, it's nice to have a top 10 player anyway. I see dark clouds in the O's future though.......

Paid Rogers shill says that LF and 1B for Jays is not that bad, even though anybody with half a functioning brain can tell you otherwise and it can go south real fuckin' fast
This is what happens when the team owners control the media arm as well, kids.

I'm really really down on the O's pitching lineup.
Tillman is okay and out until mid April.
Gausman is good but should never be your #1 starter.
Bundy is #2 starter on the opening day roster and has played about 100 mediocre ML innings and has been serving up meatballs all spring so far.
Wade Miley is plain bad.
Ubaldo is fucking terrible.
That's really unacceptable for a $170m roster.

Yeah, I have no idea how he got under 3 ERA in that ballpark.

As a Phillies fan I'll just be watching to see the young guys play this year.
This is what happened to the media in San Diego, too. Padres bloggers do the best work now, with virtually no access.
- The team hired the local paper's Padres writer, who's covered the team since before they were in the majors, as team historian.
- The guy who replaced him at the paper now posts to the paper's site what are nearly identical articles to what gets posted by said team historian on padres.com
- The team ended its relationship with the independent border blaster sports station for a crappy local FM station with far less range, and they have never covered sports before. You used to be able to listen to a Padres game on the radio well north of LA. On clear nights, truckers north of Fresno would call in to the postgame.
- The crappy local FM station hasn't broadcast ST games except on its HD radio partner, and nobody has an HD radio.
- The CEO who oversaw all of this was fired immediately when it was found out that ALLEGEDLY a) he was cooking the books on attendance numbers in order to trigger a bonus in his contract or ALLEGEDLY b) he was doing trade-outs on in-ballpark advertising in exchange for goods and services for himself. And we're probably never going to find out which because nobody will go on the record because of how embarrassing that is.
None of this really matters at the moment because there are zero stakes to this team, nothing to scrutinize them for. They're tanking for the next 3 seasons... if they stick to the plan. But they sure as hell set themselves up well for a soft landing if the plan ends up in disaster.

I've stumbled upon a spoiler for the end of the season. Shield your eyes if you don't want to see this outcome.

He was never better than Sale. However he is very good and could have the better season.

Plus side of Dombrowski trading the Sox entire farm system for two pitchers from the White Sox?
I got the best AAA team in history in town now

it's not like that's going to cripple them or anything, but it's very un-cardinal like to pay for past performance. they'd have been better off giving kelly a shot and saving that money for a potentially historic free agent class. then again, it's yadi. their fans would probably flip if he left.

Bask in the glory.
On the plus side, I know I'll get tickets off StubHub dirt cheap, and after a couple ballast point sculpins who really gives a shit who wins.
I am going to bathe in the awful.
I saw a lot of the 1987 Angels as a kid. That was a bad baseball team. This? This is going to be some next level shit.
Okay look, I'm using that Padres Star Wars gif as a Padres lose gif. Yes. This will make me happy, and is more appropriate for said gif.
OH GOD, THE BEES. NOT THE BEES!! AHHHHH!!!
It was a pre-game interview on the Astros broadcast where they showed what they replaced the hill with. There's 4 levels of food, and you can even sit down on the field where it's like you're in the bullpen. I hope they guide the viewer again on Opening Day.
