I guess so. Or they do all get to speak with him since they hit 20?

dude will make bank if he gets all the up n coming puerto rican stars
He hasn't given an indication of his timing yet. He had an amazing 2015 but it ended on a very sour note in the playoffs. All he's said is he wants to come back to NPB in 2016 to do even more and also to DH more. You get the sense that he wants to feel he's met all his goals there first and be acknowledged as the best in Japan. He's only 21 so no hurry.

That's Enrique brah.
According to Crasnick, the D-Backs are going after Maeda or making a trade for a SP. They are not going after the 2nd tier pitchers (Leake, Kazmir or Samardzija)

I'm seeing on Twitter that Cueto wants $140m-$160m

My guess is well over 200 mil for Price. No way anyone should pay that.
On Hot Stove, it was implied that the Cubs are only looking to add around $25 mil on payroll total, whether that's true or not, who knows. I really wanted the Cards to get Zimmermann, I don't see them getting involved in Cueto (never say never though). But I really don't see them going deep on Price or Grienke.

heavy pull hitter, going to hit a lot of balls off the wall.
They're clearly planning to trade Mookie Betts to Atlanta. NO OTHER POSSIBILITIES
The Cubs have 2 5WAR starter next year, they don't need Price. They do need to add an inning eater after Arrieta and Lester.
4th outfielder. Who knows what Bradley or Castillo will give you next year

I think they'll go deep on Price, especially if they can't get Heyward (Though there's room for both).
They really like Price, as far as I can tell. Probably would've traded for him in 2014 if the Rays FO didn't think exactly the same as the Cards

His arm is shot.
The stupid part is that Dave Stewart went to the media, and was just absurdly thorough. He didn't just say, "yeah we offered 6/$120M". He started assessing Cueto's market. Any other industry and he'd never work again. It's a joke, it's the scummiest thing you could do.

Has there been any indication of that (other than him being a great player most teams would want to sign)?
Paying for a big ticket pitcher in free agency is completely counter to the Cards' roster construction philosophy.

They wanted to trade for him (and extend him) when he was in Tampa, but the Rays and Cards value their players pretty similarly so a deal never happened. I read a report a while back that said there are two FA-to be that the Cards view differently than others - Jason Heyward and David Price.
Signing a big free agent pitcher is definitely not something that's ever happened before. But if they want to stay competetive, theyve got to spend more. And they definitely have the money to do so.
Derrick Goold has a good article about payroll on the P-D today. Everything seems to indicate the Cardinals could add Price and Heyward if they wanted to. Not sure they will, though. I'd bet on one of the two, with Heyward being my preferance.

I wonder if the Braves are trying to get Hechavarria too.

Cruz was only two days away from getting a contract too :lol

I'm hoping we sign Heyward too. Especially if missing out on him means we overpay for Price.
Replacing Cruz with Pena looks like a solid move. Yadi really needs to get more days off during the regular season.

Only in baseball would hiring the greatest hitter living on planet earth be considered controversial.
God I wish the Rays fucking fired Derek Shelton already and hired Bonds. Shelton is the worst.

Because....I don't know.
I legitimately don't know. Yankees, if you know what's good for you, don't trade Severino.
or do, please, I want to see you guys suffer some

I assume he would have to come clean just like mark McGwire.

McGwire didn't have to come clean, he chose to come clean and remember the past because he knew every day he was going to be dogged by the media regarding his statements.
I honestly could see Bonds walking in, head held up high just like he did with everything else.

McCutchen is the man, we need to market these young guys man.

WTF do The Braves have to offer for Severino? Yanquis should know more than the others how valuable cheap pitching is.
Braves have signed Jim Johnson to a 1 yr deal. again.
