Hey, the Braves aren't on the list. I'd deal with one year of Papelbon in a hopeless season if they'd give up Giolito.
As a Royals fan (except for the past two years) we would be on anyone's no trade list, but screw that guy anyway.

The Braves are officially fielding offers for Ender Inciarte. If they can't get what they want for him, they may run with a Swisher/Bourn platoon in LF and keep Hector Olivera at 3B.
The Braves are also "answering the phone" on calls about Nick Markakis, but don't seem to want to move him.

I wonder if his absolutely dreadful performance as a personality during the playoffs had something to do with it. Making fun of Josh Donaldson and essentially calling him a pussy over concussion precaution I can't imagine did him any favors in this era of concussion sensitivity.

Dodgers/Red Sox for me.
If I hadn't grown up in Toronto I probably would support one of those 2 teams (and I already follow the Dodgers quite a bit for some reason).

I got Giants/Royals/Cards
Why are the Cards grouped there too? I can understand SF and KC lumped together.

You enjoy watching young talent emerge. You admire the journey of an up-and-coming team."

I got Astros/Diamondbacks too. Must be some lowest common denominator for picking least worst answers. Young talent over trades/FAs, home runs over the others, movie producer because goddamn the other options are awful.
Maeda arrived in Los Angeles today. Reports are that Dodgers, Angels, Astros, Cardinals, Yankees, Padres and Mariners are interested.

You can lifelong the Yankees and sing the praises of the A-Gawd. I'll accept you with open arms, friend.
I did not pick 2 of those answers and I still got Astros/Diamondbacks.

Welcome to Giants-GAF! Apparently you'll be taking Corran's spot who will jump over to the Cubs bandwagon.

Shit is rigged, man.
Still kinda okay with it.

Wonder how many Giants players the Cubs will send to the DL this year. Sort of kidding, but I think we pretty much ruined some dudes seasons.

The Fangraphs write up on Yoenis Cespedes projections doesn't inspire a lot of confidence for whoever decides to give him a huge contract.

Doesn't matter. He is the greatest man to ever play the game.
$500 million dollar contract? Oh fuck yes.

The Nationals are in talks to acquire Brandon Phillips from the Reds. Phillips has 2 years and $27 million remaining. Dusty Baker is reportedly the one pushing for it. He managed Phillips from 2008-2013.

Ron Darling shitting on Heyward on the MLB Network. Big surprise.
BFIB

I like how people against the Heyward contract has the argument of "he has to hit 40 HR and drive in 120 to earn that money". Look at every other stat that Heyward brings to the table. He's not a heart of the lineup guy, but he's a solid 2 or 5 hole hitter. But it's his other tools that make him so valuable.

The fact that people cherish offense so much in this dead ball era makes most casual fans blind to the fact that other things can make you valuable.
I mean, most Jays fans know Tulo won't mash like he did at Coors, but we know that when healthy, he is an anchor in the infield.

Ron Darling would be singing a different tune if Heyward became a Met.
Nothing would've made me happier than to watch the Dodgers bounce the Mets out of the playoffs. Hearing Ron weep on air as they packed their bags would be music to my ears. Unfortunately, life is cruel.

Big White Sox-Dodgers trade. Wonder if Puig is headed to Chicago?
