wtf why are the )s doing this?i get power is hard to find bla bla ba, but thats just too much.

 

[BFIB]

O's upped their offer to Davis to 7yr/$168m

It's amazing how Boras gets owners to compete against themselves.

 

[Malo]

Braves sure do love picking up our farm hands and major league players, don't they?

Ben Badler ‏@BenBadler
The Braves draft Yankees LHP Evan Rutckyj. If the Braves add one more former Yankees prospect, they get their card stamped for a free sub.

 

[Beckx]

I guess it's official that Tony Barnette signed with the Rangers?

Dude is awesome. Glad he's getting his shot. Pitching in Japan will make you better (assuming you can adapt and thrive).

https://t.co/EZDonTWNUs

With Darvish back and Tony in the bullpen I may have to watch some Rangers games this year.

 

[Malo]

Barves are yankees south.

Edit:
Mark Berman ‏@MarkBermanFox26
Free agent reliever Tony Sipp is returning to the #Astros.His deal will be done pending completion of his physical according to MLB sources

I feel sorry for Neil Walker having to play for the Mets

Harvey, De Grom, Syndergaard, Matz, Fartolo, Wheeler will lead him to the promise land.

But your infield defense got worse somehow.

Edit: I just noticed my childhood friend/neighbor got selected in the minor league rule 5 draft. Cool.

Red Sox Brewers trade

Red Sox traded Garin Cecchini to the Brewers for cash considerations

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Giants supposedly expected Heyward to sign today, but it's not them. Cubs, Cardinal, probably Angels still in there at least

amazing

who else was competing at 7/150 I wonder

Please let there be a mystery team and please let it be the yankees.

Mystery Team (themselves, mostly likely :lol)

Boras does his clients good

Please let there be a mystery team and please let it be the yankees.

I obviously want Heyward to stay, but I bet Heyward's bat would play really really well in Yankee Stadium.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

This is gonna hurt so bad when he hits sub .200 next year or catches a 100 game adderal suspension. Peter Angelos only just got over the Albert Belle signing last year.

 

[jbug617]

Olney is disputing that report. So it's Rosenthal vs Olney there.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

I'm expecting Heyward to the Angels.

 

[jello44]

Sipp returning to the Astros 3/18m

Woop woop!

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

I'm expecting Heyward to the Angels.

If this happens, prepare for some incredible reactions by the BFIB :lol

Yall should all have the BestFansStLouis twitter on standby (regardless of what happens, even if he signs with the Cardinals)

fuck man, we needed a solid defensive SS. im not a fan of the Cabrera signing at all. but just trying to be positive.

 

[Friggz]

Please let there be a mystery team and please let it be the yankees.

heyward fits in with the team philosophy (young, good defensively, etc) so well that it makes no sense to not go after him. I really hate the fucking steinbrenner jerkoffs. its become all bottomline.

 

[Syrinx]

Maybe the Mets signed Cabrera so they could include Wilmer in a trade?

Most I can come up with.

 

[BFIB]

I have a feeling the Cubs/ Cards in a standoff to see who shoots first on Heyward. Then the Angels slide in with a blow the doors open offer and Mo is found shaking in the corner with memories of Pujols.

 

[Windu]

Heyward will sign with the braves. BELIEVE

 

[RBH]

The #Braves have discussed Bartolo Colon. They're looking at short-term SP options who won't block some of their young starters.

bring Livan Hernandez's rubber arm out of retirement.

For some reason I doubt Mo has bad memories of being proven right about not giving Pujols $250+ million right as he hit a sharp decline

Padres Close To Acquiring Christian Bethancourt

11:33am: The Padres and Braves are nearing an agreement on the trade, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The two sides are working out final details at this time.

[GK86]

Braves are making a shit ton of moves.

 

[BFIB]

Braves are making a shit ton of moves.

Winners of the winter meetings IMO.

won't get anything of value for bethancourt. out of options have 2 catchers signed. no leverage.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Winners of the winter meetings IMO.

Offseason champs or not, there's still even year shenanigans afoot.

 

[zulux21]

i didn't see this posted

10:07am: ESPN’s Buster Olney tweets that the Orioles didn’t raise their most recent offer to Davis — “not one nickel,” as his source put it. Not only that, but Baltimore’s offer to Davis is no longer on the table, according to Olney, though he adds that they’re willing to pick up the past thread of talks. MASNsports.com’s Roch Kubatko tweets that a club source denies their offer was increased as well.

to be fair as long as the white sox don't sign davis I don't care where he ends up lol.

 

[GK86]

Niese: "I'm sure what I'll appreciate more than anything is the way (#Pirates) play defense. I'm looking forward to that."

 

[CygnusXS]

Heyward will sign with the braves. BELIEVE

Sign Heyward, trade Markakis and Aybar, get Baez from the Cubs. Rebuild: done.

Interestingly, Evans acknowledged that the Giants have had conversations with the Colorado Rockies in the past about Carlos Gonzalez, and did not believe that being in the NL West would be an impediment to a potential trade. Evans said he believed " we could be competitive in a prospect-driven deal."

wat

 

[jbug617]

Speculation that Casey Kelly is going to the Braves in that deal.

 

[jbug617]

Finalists for Heyward are the Cubs, Cards and Angels according to Morosi.

You forgot #MysteryTeam

There's always a mystery team!

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Supposedly looking for $24m over 8 or 9 (with an opt-out too, obviously)

Heyward contract demands

Hearing talk that Jason Heyward isn't looking for 10 years at $20M/year. More like $24M/year for 8 or 9 years.

 

[CygnusXS]

Supposedly looking for $24m over 8 or 9 (with an opt-out too, obviously)

I'm still surprised there aren't more teams in on him even at that price, but hey.

 

[BFIB]

If there's an opt out after 5, Cards should be all over it.

 

[RBH]

Cubs are my least hated out of those three teams, so hope he ends up there.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

I'm still surprised there aren't more teams in on him even at that price, but hey.

Haha I just realized what I wrote :lol

 

[Beckx]

Have the Pirates traded Melancon yet?

Heyward to Angels please

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Heyward to Angels please

If they get him, imagine if they also somehow get Harper when he becomes a FA.

 

[CygnusXS]

Jesus look at this idiot:

@jaysonst What an overpay. Gotta consider off the field issues with players like Heyward

 

[Beckx]

If they get him, imagine if they also somehow get Harper when he becomes a FA.

I just don't want him in the division.
