Attempting to enhance their bullpen depth, the #Braves have given RHP Alexi Ogando a Minor League deal and Spring Training invite.

So long again, Captain Kirk, I fully expect you back within 4 months.

The Royals have been told by Alex Gordon's camp that, as things currently stand, they have "no chance" to retain star left fielder Alex Gordon, sources said. Things obviously can change in free agency, but it's clear at this point that there's at least a wide gap in talks regarding the longtime Royals outfielder.

So it's no surprise, the World Series champion Royals are now looking around at other outfield possibilities, with Denard Span, Austin Jackson, Gerardo Parra, their own free agent Alex Rios and others on their list.

The Royals are said to have made a four-year offer to Gordon, which Jim Bowden of ESPN pegged at "$12 million to $13 million" per year. Gordon is believed to be seeking closer to $20 million a year and has drawn reported interested from the Orioles, Cardinals, Angels and Giants, among others. Gordon, a home-grown Royal and Nebraska native, took a hometown discount in signing a four-year deal with the Royals four years ago but doesn't appear as interested in such a deal this time.

Kansas City actually has two free agent outfielders (Gordon and Rios), but it could fill one of the spots with perennial fourth outfielder Jarrod Dyson and other in-house options potentially.

Kansas City is also looking closely at several free-agent starting pitching options. Wei-Yin Chen appears to top their list, but they aren't prepared to go to six years or pay $100 million on a five-year deal, as he's been reported to be seeking by Roch Kubatko of MASN in Baltimore.

The Royals also like Yovani Gallardo, Scott Kazmir and Ian Kennedy, and have been talking to them, as well, as they aim to sign one free-agent starter after re-signing their own Chris Young and adding Dillon Gee on a minor-league deal.

Royals offered Gordon 4/48?

lmfao

Boy if only the Jays had made a 4x12M offer to David Price so the fans would be happy that they at least tried

cheap ass world champs

If Gordon doesn't take it he's a trader.

I would have been fine with a contract of a dollar to show that we appreciated the three months of Price.

Apparently Jas management does not.

Mets aren't even going to bother with Cespedes or anyone worth a damn in the OF. According to Heyman, the Mets are looking for complementary outfielders (ie: jabronies). Go to the World Freakin' Series, have a win now rotation and of course the Wilpons gotta Wilpon.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Don't do that.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Royals offered Gordon 4/48?

lmfao

At that point you might as well not make an offer at all rather than insulting him with that shit.

Daniel Murphy to Nats per Jim Bowden. 3 year deal.

 

[Dominican Power]

Murph gonna be sticking it to The Mests all season long.

Daniel Murphy to Nats per Jim Bowden. 3 year deal.

good riddance.

 

[GK86]

I look forward to all the bonehead plays in the Mets favor.

 

[zroid]

LOL Murphy to Nats! amazing

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Is he getting paid $50 million a year?

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Would be amusing if he has a career year with the Nats just to hear the reaction from the NY sports media.

 

[GK86]

Since Murphy rejected a qualifying offer from the Mets, New York will receive a compensation pick between the first and second rounds of the 2016 draft. The Nationals, in turn, will have to surrender their first-round pick (17th overall) the draft.

I wonder how much he is getting.

 

[CygnusXS]

Guess that's the Brandon Phillips fallout.

Reasonable contract

@Ken_Rosenthal: Source: Murphy deal with #Nationals is three years, $37.5M. Again, pending physical.

Yeah, and with that, I'm done. I can't in good conscious keep supporting this team as long as the current owners are in place. Good luck, Mets-GAF. Hopefully someday, I'll have a reason to return.

Joe Benigno said on the radio the other day "Never has a team that reached the World Series thrown cold water on its fan base like the Mets"

Edit: Merry Christmas everyone!

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Merry Christmas to you all. May the baseball gods be kind. Fuck da Wilpons, this team is sert go compete for the next few years before the pitchers hit FA but no we sign fucking Alejandro De Aza are you kidding me?? Adrusbal Cabrera?? Go out there and get our pitcher some backup. This is a special rotation and we are gonna waste it. Fuck it all

Merry Christmas guys.

 

[AgentChris]

My thinking is that the Mets will throw a big contract to Degrom that would have gone to Cespedes. Then lock up Thor and try to have money for Harvey in 2018.
