Man, I would love Freddie Freeman to Boston. If we can get rid of Ramirez or Sandoval. Its a pipe dream but whatever.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

come on Matz and Conforto??? fuck outta here!

 

[CygnusXS]

The 2019 or 2020 Braves are going to be so good.

maybe 2021

Lol a lot of backfiring in offering these QO's. $16 mil for Rasmus? Wieters? *puke

On a one year it's not so bad but yeah for smaller/middle market teams it might hinder what they can do this offseason to have $16 million immediately gone from your budgets. I have to imagine these teams offered the QO with the expectation of draft picks in return lol

2015 Rookie Class was best in 100 years.

 

[jbug617]

so CSN Chicago says that if the White Sox want to move Sale that the Red Sox would be a fit. However they mention they would want Bogaerts back in a trade. Really don't want to move Bogaerts or Betts. I would offer Swihart, Owens and Margot. Maybe that would be enough.

 

[Malvingt2]

The Braves are also shopping Teheran and Freeman. They are going full Marlins with their fire sale.

wait.... really?

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Davey Martinez no longer in the running for Dodgers manager it looks like.

Dude must be terrible at interviews or something.

 

[detectiveconan1]

Saw it on twitter earlier. https://twitter.com/gondeee/status/665171444633047040

No idea how legit the guy is though. I don't think any major sports writers have said anything.

He's good with a bunch of scouts, but I'm not sure what his FO access is. Still, it's probably true. I hope we take a run at Boston's top prospects, if they're really trading those guys.

Estrada news

@jcrasnick: Marco Estrada's 2-year deal with #bluejays is done, says MLB source.

 

[Lexxism]

How much? $25 million? Please?

 

[jbug617]

@jcrasnick: Marco Estrada's deal with #bluejays is for 2 years and $26M, as @Joelsherman1 previously reported.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Iwakuma has rejected the QO and will become a FA.

Reasonable

Hey! That's not bad! Good job front office. Now, if they can get an ACE.

 

[CygnusXS]

I think at least one of Anderson, Estrada, Kennedy, or Rasmus will.

Hey I got 3 right.

 

[jbug617]

Anderson accepted the QO from Dodgers

@Ken_Rosenthal: Brett Anderson accepted #Dodgers’ qualifying offer. First reported: @Buster_ESPN.

 

[rando14]

Solid deal for Estrada, I would've thought he could have gotten more on the market. Good peripherals obviously. Though I guess he is 32, so...

Anderson is a little meh, but then again the Doyers wipe they ass with $100's so might as well get a decent arm to solidify the back of the lineup...!!

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Anthony DiComo declined Mets QO. Most likely done as Mets 2Ber.

Red sox acquire kimbrel. package not yet known.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Not happy about the Kimbrel deal until I know what's going back

 

[Friggz]

Not happy about the Kimbrel deal until I know what's going back

not happy as a red sox fan?

 

[Windu]

Even former Braves are not safe from trades.

 

[Friggz]

Margot and Logan Allen.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Who are your MLB and NFL teams again?

Red Sox
Panthers

 

[Friggz]

i guess this could be a bigger trade. tyson ross could also be involved.

 

[Malvingt2]

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS
Margot, Guerra, Allen and asuaje go to padres

 

[jbug617]

Padres did good with Guerra and Margot.

@Ken_Rosenthal: #Padres getting Margot, Guerra, Asuaje, and Allen from #RedSox for Kimbrel, per @JonHeymanCBS, @alexspeier and others.

 

[CygnusXS]

Seriously though, if that's what they'll move for Kimbrel, call them about Shelby Miller.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Just for Kimbrel?

That's a lot.

 

[Malvingt2]

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS
No surprise, red sox take all the money (meaning they pay kimbrel contract)

 

[jbug617]

Just for Kimbrel?

That's a lot.

Well he is signed for a couple of more years may be the reason

 

[chicagocubsfan]

All that for a closer?

You probably could have just signed O'Day and kept Margot for a Starter.

 

[Malvingt2]

That is not a lot for Kimbrel, that it is his market value. Remember Padres gave up a lot for him with the Braves trade. No way in hell they were going to get less.


Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal
Kimbrel contract: $11M in 2016, $13M in ’17, $13M club option in ’18.

 

[Malo]

That's a lot to give up for Kimbrel. Lol soxs.

 

[Sanjuro]

What the fuck.

Margot was another outfield stud.

 

[Doogdogg]

damn that's a heavy price for a reliever. Should just sign Miller the previous winter for only cash.

 

[jbug617]

This is how thin the Padres system was.

@jjcoop36: Once deal is official Margot is almost assuredly Padres No. 1 prospect. Guerra will be No. 2. System was very thin.

 

[Doogdogg]

Now waiting for Dombrowski to sign Price. No way he is going to give an even bigger package for starting pitching.

 

[Sanjuro]

Let's just get all the closers. Every inning a new pitcher, every game. Set the trend, fuckface.

But it wasn't exactly a position of need for them. Koji is still there and there were options on the market.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Bwahahahaa Red Sox

 

[Future Foundation]

This is how thin the Padres system was.

I remember that Grantland piece pointing out (among other things) how bad their farm had gotten.

 

[zroid]

That's a lot to give up for Kimbrel. Lol soxs.

Dealing Dave era has begun!

 

[Sanjuro]

I mean, it's not a bad deal unless he has a clear cut plan in place. I just don't see enough big contract pieces moving out.

 

[Malvingt2]

No is not.. It is Kimbrel.. 225 SV
