It's not even a joke at this point. The Red Sox treat the Jays as another affiliate.

Guess who the Red Sox sign next year?

I'm guessing Holmes and some high A power arm.
If it's Jose Peraza I'd laugh all the way to the bank.

Yep, that contract he signed looks like a bargain compared to the money bandied about now for second-tier (or worse) pitching options. Unless the Cards somehow splurge for Cueto, it looks like low-hanging fruit and in-house options to fill that #5 spot.Mad Dog ripping the Cards for not doing what it takes to resign Lackey.
I kind of agree.
That pitching depth has eroded in a hurry in the past 12 months.

But how much do you agree with this guy:

I dunno, we got a draft pick out of it
People have been saying it's a good deal, but I'm not so sure $32m and a first rounder for a 37yo pitcher a few years removed from TJ is that good of a deal

His peripherals are solid though. They always have been, and his mechanics worked great in Busch.
Looking at the other deals going around, its going to be a high price. Does Leake give you any better value than what Lackey would have? Sounds like the Cards went all in on Price, and their backup plans moved very quickly before they could gain any traction.
Wade Miley to the Mariners is making progress

a 33 year old DH is definitely the guy you want to give a big money/years deal to.

I'd target Buchholz if I'm the Mariners, can be had probably pretty cheap and if his body holds up you get a top ten pitcher in a pitchers park.

He'll turn 39 at the end of his contract, though. He had a career year with us and I'm just not sure he'll be worth it again
Probably no FA is worth it other than Price, tbh (Mo seems to be thinking that now too) I like Buehrle solely as an innings eater, even if he's worse than Cooney, Lyons, or Marco
Cost is just too high unless you're going high end. Not sure any pitcher other than Price is appreciably better than our current situation

Its why I think the Cards plan A was Price. Plan B is load up the offense, and see if a trade opportunity opens up for a pitcher. I fully expect the Cards to sign either Heyward, or Upton by the end of the meetings.

What are we getting for Miley? He's not amazing or anything but as a guy who eats up a bunch of innings I liked him.
probably prospects
Would be an odd move. The Red Sox don't trade for prospects, they trade theirs instead.
Dombrowski still want a young starter to lead this team, he better hang onto Espinoza. The cost for a young starter would decimate the system in any trade.

Wade Miley will like it in Seattle, closer to hunting grounds. Gets to go arrow some mooses or something.

Sources saying no deal done yet for #reds and #dodgers on Chapman. I'm hearing multiple teams could be involved.

Smith is a reliever who got strikeout stuff. Seems good. Elias is carbon copy of Miley stats. Meh.

Mariner's just traded for an extra from True Detective Season 1

Looks like Reds want a lot more than just two prospects. I just hope it's the two we gave up and nothing else.
2012-2015:
Samardzija - 8.31 K/9, 2.47 BB/9, 1.03 HR/9, 4.03 ERA, 3.69 FIP, 12.2 fWAR (205 IP per season)
Miley - 7.05 K/9, 2.75 BB/9, 0.85 HR/9, 3.92 ERA, 3.73 FIP, 10.0 fWAR (198 IP per season)
Samardzija is 2 years older.
Miley contract is really cheap. $6m in 2016 and $9m in 2017. There is an option for 3rd yr for $12m.

Rosenthal is doubling down that the Chapman deal is done.

Great, now Mark Lowe has been snapped up too.
Fuck you Rogers/Blue Jays.

Should've sent him too.
This is just a start. After next season, we won't see either Bautista or EE on this team. Or worst, we won't even see them back after next season.

Well, it was nice, the success. Back to the hole of despair and playing second fiddle to the Leafs and NHL.

You're likely right and it makes me angry.
I'll still support the team, but it sucks as a fan. I'm not going to make the trek into Toronto and spend money on more losing culture. Maybe one game, but if they're going to run it into the ground they don't deserve sellouts.
