According to a TSN report, the Jays are pursuing Greinke more strongly than Price

interesting...

5 year, 160 Million. Greinke making 32M at age 37 or 38 is going to burn the team that signs him.

#Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons didn't win a third consecutive Gold Glove. Award went to Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford. Wow.

 

[Frozenprince]

That will do it. Find it hard to imagine this never factored into his career at any point.

He blew up his shoulder but yeah, it obviously played a big role.

Price is a great pitcher, but he seems to want to go elsewhere and didn't play extremely well in the playoffs. His playoff curse is worrying.

And Pillar didn't win a gold glove? What. The. FUCK!?

On one hand, yes.

On the other hand, no.

So pretty much the same as nearly every big free agent contract these days.

Rightfully so given the way it works now. If the award were still given to the 3 best OF rather than LF, CF, RF, then he would have won one of them for sure.

Kiermeyer was better? I find that hard to believe.

way better. like ridiculously so.

 

[Parch]

The Price playoff performance has to be a factor. It can't be ignored. Jays got him with hopes of playoff success and he failed.

 

[Parch]

Latest on Jays payroll situation:

Creating a contender was a huge factor for attendance. As long as they can convince the public that the team is a contender, the park will be close to full. Success pays off big time.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Kiermeyer was better? I find that hard to believe.

Kiermaier had maybe the best defensive season of all time.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I don't see Grienke leaving the NL. I think he's either SF or LA.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Reds are open for business supposedly. Have a feeling the White Sox are going to go all in to get Todd Frazier.

 

[CygnusXS]

Kiermaier had maybe the best defensive season of all time.

Or at least since 2002.

 

[JDHarbs]

3 more Royals taking home gold gloves.

Would've been 4 if Gordo hadn't been injured.

 

[sf2fanatic]

I think that's why Friedman won't give him no more than 3 yrs

 

[zulux21]

way better. like ridiculously so.

yup
pillar

vs
Kiermaier

not even close when it comes to dwar.
lol at Cespedes winning a gold glove though
should have been gordon still.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I think that's why Friedman won't give him no more than 3 yrs

Even offering him 3 years would be an insult.

 

[Frozenprince]

Kiermaier had maybe the best defensive season of all time.

He's a 4-5 WAR player and that's all defense.

 

[3N16MA]

Kiermeyer was better? I find that hard to believe.

What is so hard to believe? He was better.

According to a TSN report, the Jays are pursuing Greinke more strongly than Price

interesting...

He is still great but something doesn't sit right with me having to invest 150M+ on a 32 year old pitcher. Maybe it's because CC went downhill after 32.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Kiermaier is the second coming of Andruw Jones defensively.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

If you want to see Kenta Maeda pitch, he's starting in the Mexico-Japan game.

Starts at 4am ET though.

This shit gonna stream or what? Still says it will begin shortly...

 

[Sanjuro]

He blew up his shoulder but yeah, it obviously played a big role.

Still, his age, short duration in baseball. I'm just speculating, but I would be surprised if nobody knew about anything about this.

 

[Lexxism]

Kiermeyer was better? I find that hard to believe.

Yes, he is. He's way better than Pillar.

 

[Beckx]

This shit gonna stream or what? Still says it will begin shortly...

They've had rain delays and streaming problems so I dunno what the deal was.

Maeken not looking sharp but Sho-time (my favorite player) saving his ass with a homer and 4 RBI. Edit: and he just walked it off with a sayonara hit in the bottom of the ninth, Sho Nakata is the man

In other Maeda news, the first rumors out of the Japan sports dailies have him signing with the same agency that represents Darvish and Iwakuma.

It never came up on YouTube at all.i dont know how many times I checked.m

 

[matthewwhatever]

Kiermeyer was better? I find that hard to believe.

The Jays and Rays played each other, what, 18 times this year? Buck & Pat never shut up about how incredible he was.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Cubs meeting with Price, Grienke, and Zimmerman's reps this week.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

I wonder what Cardinals pitcher-related news we get today

Jaime's arm literally fell off?

 

[Tragicomedy]

Cespedes, the gold glover. Keep kicking those balls in the outfield and allowing inside the park homeruns, bro.

 

[detectiveconan1]

The Marlins are interested in Scott Kazmir, Colby Lewis, and Tim Lincecum.

Here's 40 mins of Maeda pitching today. https://youtu.be/_tfyyYC3wIw

Thanks brah.

 

[jbug617]

Fangraphs were looking for a comp for Maeda. They came up with Aaron Nola.

Mariners may have interest in Gardner according to Joel Sherman.

Ugh

 

[3N16MA]

Ugh

Cashman likes to work with the Mariners. Paxton may be the target.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Jose Pirela traded to Padres for Ronald Herrera.

 

[Malo]

Ugh

Walker for Gardner.

Yankees trade Jose Pierla to the Padres for Ronald Herrera. I have no idea who that is.

 

[CosmicQueso]

wut

 

[Dominican Power]

Someone tell Cashman that there are other teams to trade with.

 

[Sanjuro]

Are you even certain he is still employed at this point? I'm just guessing he climbed Everest or something at the start of the 2015 campaign.

Braves shopping their OF

‏@Ken_Rosenthal: #Braves aggressively shopping OFers Bourn, Swisher, Maybin, one rival official says. Braves GM Coppolella denies that is case with Maybin.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Move of Olivera to LF, however, has created glut of OFers. Bourn, Swisher were acquired mainly to clear C. Johnson’s money in 2017.

‏@Ken_Rosenthal: Swisher owed $15M next season, Bourn $14M. Maybin at $8M next season with $9M club option for 2017. Many CFers available in FA and trade.

I am just dreaming about what Anthopolous would have achieved by now.

Another Yanks trade.

@BryanHoch: Yanks trade John Ryan Murphy to Twins for Aaron Hicks
