Fowler to O's, 3 year deal

Buster Onley

Sources: The Orioles have agreed to terms with Dexter Fowler on a three-year deal for about $35 million.

 

[BFIB]

Good signing for the O's.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

I like the Fowler signing, offense is shaping up nicely.

Rotation is still garbo.

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.

man I hope he gets his 65 hits this year.

imagine how he might be going for 4500 hits if he had been a high school draft pick that got to the majors at 20 instead of an international signing that got to the majors at 27.

Fowler to O's, 3 year deal

thank god, now I don't have to worry that the white sox sign him.

$150 mil for a 35 yo outfielder? What could go wrong?

Is Jose Bautista under the impression that Ruben Amaro is running the BlueJays?

Considering Shapiro is as incompetent as ol' Ruben, probably.

OMG

Votto is the best

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Well Donald Trump is taking on the Ricketts lol.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

The Mets players’ lot features two Maseratis (Matt Harvey and Antonio Bastardo) and plenty of souped-up trucks. But all of them looked like Ford Tempos parked next to what Cespedes brought to work. The motorcycle is just one in Cespedes’ impressive car collection, which includes a Lamborghini that’s tricked out to spit fire.

Oh.

 

[Lexxism]

TSN’s Rick Westhead reported the demand as US$150-million over five years; Bautista, in Dunedin, denied it. A team source, tellingly, let slip to the Star’s Richard Griffin that the number was actually higher.

lmao.

Ruben is in a better place now.

He will find a way to fuck up in Boston.

The best part of this Bautista crap is the Jays media flip flop. They went from calling him the smartest guy in baseball to him being the dumbest in the space of like 8 hours.

Sounds about right for our media.

And ultimately, Rogers benefits from having the face of the franchise turn heel. It's an incestual cycle.

 

[bonesmccoy]

And ultimately, Rogers benefits from having the face of the franchise turn heel.

Oh, that chapter is over. Even if this stuff didn't happen, the 'face' of the Jays was already shifting away from Bautista and Edwing and over to Donaldson and Tulowitzki. That probably played a part in Bautista's decison to make his demands public.

I think he's moved for some prospects.

I would say the face of the franchise, at least marketing wise, is Martin. He is probably the ultimate tool Rogers has in the box; a clean cut Good Ol' Canadian Boy to be shilled for the general market in the GTA. Certainly a better fit then the douchebro vibes Lawrie gave off.

Dude should get tested for drugs because he must be smoking some crazy shit to come up with those numbers!

Time to trade him!

 

[gaming_noob]

Too much drama. Trading Bautista should be a priority. Bautista + Encarnacion would return a massive package.

Cespedes spending his money on dumb shit.

They are contending this year, there's no point in trading them, unless it's a complete disaster.

Just let Jose test the FA market, he'll find out what he's worth.

 

[jello44]

:lol

Socks with sandals?

smgdh

 

[BigJonsson]

Bautista and Edwin have 5-10 rights, they'd probably only agree to go to a World Series contender

I would rather he spend it on supercars than on hookers or cocaine.

No it wouldn't. Both are essentially DH's hitting the end of their primes.

Well, at least we can take solace in that fact that Joey Bats could be the "worst contract" in MLB in a year or two. As for this year, that honor goes to Albert Pujols of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim California, Planet Earth.

[zroid]

I'm almost starting to think Bautista doesn't actually want to sign an extension now. That's the reason he proposed such an outlandish amount, management asked him "what would it take" so he answered something which would certainly do it but he didn't actually expect to get done.

I always figured he would want to go to free agency anyway, that's just his personality.

He came in 2nd on ESPN's article.

A settlement has been reached on Hansel Robles' suspension from last season. He will now serve a two-game suspension, not three.

Oh yeah and Yo showed up in a custom Lambo today.

He's bringing his Alfa tomorrow.

What it must be to be rich.

8C is like all Alfa's and most Italian women; good looking but a bitch to maintain.

Still, he got good taste

He's gonna explode this year, AL MVP for sure.
