Braves trying to get Pollock from D-Backs

lolbraves

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

I don't believe you.

Reports have been pretty consistent that Cardinals could add at least one big player this offseason. They're insanely profitable, have had a payroll below what they could do for a while, and have contracts coming off the book soon (Holliday's) or decreasing because they were frontloaded deals (Peralta)

Heyward just seems too similar to McGwire, Rolen, Edmonds, and Holliday to me. All were traded to the Cardinals in their walk year and all four resigned with the Cardinals.

Unless the Yankees dump an absolutely absurd amount of money at his door I have to think the Cardinals are a pretty safe bet

 

[Sanjuro]

Remember when we didn't sign Rich Hill for $6M.

Subtract that from Price.

No official word yet but hearing Trumbo to Orioles is done pending review of medicals. A second player could be going to the O's as well.

[XiaNaphryz]

Watch Trumbo fail the physical and the trade gets cancelled.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Carrasco would take unloading the farm.

So would Salazar, I believe, because while he didn't have as good a season as Carrasco did, he is 3 years younger. Price got overpaid, but considering the market that's not a bad idea because if he fails Boston still has a top 5 or so farm in the game.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Ken Rosenthal says Greinke could sign with either the Dodgers or Giants tonight.

Don't break my heart.

Braves have interest in Soler and the Cubs want Teheran + for him.

I'd be interested but I'd like to get the OF situation settled before.

 

[jello44]

Chris Carter likely moves on, one way or another

Ha, Astros probly pissed Rasmus took that offer.

I wouldn't move Soler no matter what. But that's just me.

 

[jello44]

They keep saying they expected him to take the QO.

I was hoping they wouldn't offer him one or having him accept it if they did.

Pollock's last two years have been decent. Only problem is that he gets too fragile

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Yep, gotta think Cardinals will be going even harder for Heyward now (even though signing Price wouldn't have stopped them; just limited them). Have boatloads of money to spend and not a lot of areas to spend it

Yes, please.

Decent? He was a 7 WAR player last year.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

He has a lot of potential but his injury history really bothers me.

Also can't replace what he did in the NLDS.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Barry Bonds has accepted the position. He is now the co-hitting coach of the Marlins.

The rumored deal Greinke is going to get is 6 years, $210 million. $35 million AAV.

I wonder if he got another opt out in that deal.

 

[GK86]

$35 mil a year. I have wasted my life.

 

[Frozenprince]

Just 2-3 more MPH on my fastball god. Just 2-3 more.

Please.

 

[Lexxism]

Dammit at that contract.

I'm old school.. Help and elder statesmen the def of WAR. Thanks in advance

 

[BigAT]

Why didn't you just throw harder?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Goddam. How did Greinke overcome his anxiety?

 

[zroid]

God daaaaamn

the money handed out in this league is nuts

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I am now expecting Zack Greinke to land a 6-year deal with an average annual value of $32m per year with his landing spot either with the Dodgers or Giants and a decision in the next 48 hours according to a source close to the situation. tick tock tick tock.

[CygnusXS]

Hurry it up Zack, we've all got better things to do.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

He needs to wait just long enough for the MYSTERY TEAM JUMPS INTO NEGOTIATIONS rumors to start.

 

[Corran Horn]

[rekameohs]

$35 million AAV.

http://www.stevetheump.com/Payrolls.htm

Look at all those teams in the recent past that he'll be outgrossing.

 

[Frozenprince]

Don't worry baseballGAF ya'll are the first one's I'll rep in my initial presser when they sign me as a bonus baby.

(LET ME HAVE MY DREAMS DAMMIT)

I do plan to make one last go of it next year, rehabbing/strength training like a mo'fo the last couple months. A submarine RP who throws 88-89 with a fucked elbow is basically a lock to make the show in a year, tbh.

My guess that was suppose to be the Red Sox if they lost Price.

 

[Josh5890]

Since Price is getting that much, I'm scared as too how much the Cubs will have to pay Arrieta if that kid has another Cy Young season next year.

At least $36 AAV

Just have to throw a filthy frisbee slider like Neshek!

Spoiler

I'm still so pissed at the Twins cutting bait with the guy when he was rehabbing. He was a local, awesome guy. Fuck you forever Bill Smith.

I totally didn't model my slider grip from him.

Nope.

Shelby Miller for Mike Trout

 

[kIdMuScLe]

So is kershaw gonna be the first $50 mil AAV pitcher after his contract is up?

Edit : yup I think he will be because kershaw will be 29 when he opts out of his contract lol!
