The bright side to this it means they have a lot more payroll than we thought
but if they were willing to allocate it to Jay Bruce... gulp

It's fairly obvious Rogers just BS' the numbers when it comes to payroll.
Ichiro arrives at Marlins camp with a shirt that says "Life begins at 42."

He's told the Buffaloes he wants to play until he's 51. The Buffs would probably let him do it, hah.

Jung Ho Kang is taking swings with the main group at Bucs camp in Bradenton today, very positive sign that he will start Opening Day. Please.

Kang taking ground balls at third. Yeah, watching him put all his weight on the leg you have to think he's fine now. (Please.)

Sounds like Cliff Lees career is over. His agent, Darek Braunecker, told me, We dont anticipate him playing at this point.
Man this is heartbreaking. I feel so bad for that guy.

apparently it wasn't him, thankfully
although the very fact this trade is in the works suggests they aren't confident in Saunders' health
You be quiet. I want him to get 3000 hits.

Looks like the Red Sox just found their new DH for next year.
We have like four DH caliber players.

So the contract we didn't give Grienke might get a bat instead?

He can still hit and has a cannon. Right?

Jose Bautista on report he asked for $150m over five years: "False." #BlueJays
lmao. He's probably asking $200M for 5 years. Hahaha

God that's worse
There are certainly reasons to think Bautista should age better than most of his comparables. He is very well conditioned, and has far less mileage on him than most 35 yos with his talent.
But $150M is the figure you'd arrive at after taking the absolute best case scenario for his projection and then adding a few million per year on top of that. It's crazy.
$149,999,999?
honestly who knows with this shit

Orioles have still not signed Gallardo.
Hoping it falls through and they sign Fowler with the #14 pick.

His arm is still okay, but he's lousy in the field, since he generally plays like his arm is good enough to make up for bad positioning and declining speed.
Just wait till the Dunedin Deathtrap claims its first victim

Also, Kave is a Braves fan confirmed

I'm just glad you weren't a Brady mark. But their clothing apparel is great to wear.

MLB announces Jose Reyes is placed on paid administrative leave, pending resolution of criminal proceedings in his domestic violence case.

When Reyes's criminal proceedings are resolved, Commissioner's Office will investigate the incident and decide whether to impose discipline.

If I'm not mistaken, it won't be resolved until early april?

So supposedly Lazarito's trainer was threatening to kill his agent. So I'm guessing he won't be coming over anytime soon.
Sounds like Lazaro's trainer is holding him and his family hostage in order to get a deal signed immediately.
