The Tigers are a pretty questionable choice to take him, too. They don't need better hitting. I don't think that list is very good.

I don't see Detroit and Texas taking him because it sounds like they have pretty promising prospects. Atlanta swapping Heyward for him doesn't make much sense either. Pittsburgh seems the most plausible one.

this deal makes sense. and PNC park's different dimensions means that Jason won't be trippin and rattling his brain every time he's playing the outfield.

I tried to play MLB Front Office Manager today but couldnt create an account to update rosters ;;
I assume rosters are completely outdated anyway though but I wanted to try lol.

I'd like to see the Dodgers do something about Loney. I'm tired of seeing him stink it up every game.
Holy shit. That might be the worst video game ever released.

Fredi said today the Braves are leaning towards Jack Wilson as the everyday SS while Simmons is out. They still want Pastornicky to convert to a utility player in AAA.
Does anyone have any info on Strasburg's innings cap? I can't see the Nationals shutting him down if they're in the middle of a play-off race, but I've heard people say that they might because it's not worth it if he is going to blow his arm out at this age.
And if the Pirates do manage do acquire Upton, there may be a power shift in the NL for years to come...

Just give him his future endeavors. Can't get nothing for him. Can't even trade him for the peanut man. Peanut man more valuable

If they gave Either $100 million than Loney's got to be worth at least $40 million in whatever shitty value formula Magic Johnson uses.

All seriousness, all it would take for a successful Bay trade is to give the Mets a B- prospect (C even) and a decent reliever. Mets would be willing to pay half Bay's remaining salary; they just want him gone.
i think itunes had the previous one, you might try there.

The Braves just announced Ben Sheets will have his contract purchased from AA on Sunday and will start against the Mets.
Fredi did confirm a roster move will be made for Sheets. There were some rumors that since the Braves DL'ed Simmons but didn't make another move that Mike Minor or Randall Delgado would be moved to the bullpen. But one of them will be sent to AAA to make room for Sheets. Another roster move will be made to replace Simmons.

i assume it will be a bullpen arm

And Sheets will be on a pitch count of 80.
yeah they did.

Jayson Stark is reporting the Phillies are about to make a big offer to Cole Hamels. The rumored number is a 6-year, $144 milion deal.
Jon Heyman announced he was, but the Braves corrected that story by saying they weren't going to make a decision until after his bullpen session today.

Is Greg Maddux in baseball at all?
I was so fucking pissed at that lol
also man giving up taillon and marte seems pretty fuck steep for upton. damn. would really help our offense and i guess one never knows if taillon and marte will ever pan out and upton has performed on the mlb stage. if we are ranked 27th with Taillon and Marte. Wonder if we'd be dead last without them

Finally back from my banning so I haven't been able to share just how fucking happy I am with the Bucs this season.
Having said that, I'm kind of against any trade that touches Cole, Marte or Taillon. Upton is the only trade that justifies any of those players considering he's on contract through 2015, but I still don't think he's worth breaking our farm for. I'd rather bring Marte up, bring in some serviceable veterans to sure up our hitting and pitching and hope that our recent offensive upswing maintains for the remainder of the season. Hopefully Tabata gets his head out of his head at some point as well :|
We better not fucking break the bank to rent a player for the remainder of the season.

Halladay made a rehab start at Class A on Thursday. Here's the line:
R.HALLADAY - 3.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 0 HR
Halladay will throw a bullpen this weekend and if all goes well, he will return Tuesday against the Dodgers.

You'll watch the Pirates trade the Mets McCutchen, a decent reliever and take Jason Bay and $10 mil and like it.

I really didn't watch any baseball last year, but holy fuck. What was Pit's second half record?

47-43 at the break. 23-49 after. They were 19-42 after the Jerry Meals 18 inning game against the Braves.
Let the hate flow through you.

Yeah, Castellanos is originally a third baseman but the Tigers have him playing in RF now in AA. It's more than likely that Nick will be flanking Austin Jackson in either LF or RF as early as late 2013. To give up Turner and Castellanos for a talented but inconsistent corner outfielder might be something I could see Dombrowski doing though, considering Mike Illitch (team owner) is clearly pushing to win now before he croaks.
I sure hope such a trade doesn't happen. Our farm system is pretty lackluster outside of those two at the top, and I'm not convinced at all that Upton would be what we need to put us over the top. What we really need is a 2nd baseman or shortstop (I presume Jhonny could take over at 2nd) with a bigger glove than a bat. Cabrera's range is awful at third, but he has good hands and a good arm. If we had a shortstop with any kind of range at all that could offset the problem a bit.

I love how the shitheads on the Red Sox team are already trying to throw Bobby under the bus.
Even with all the shit that team has been through with injuries, so called star players playing like scrubs and everything else they are still .500 in the best division in baseball.
And yet no manager is good enough for their egos. I wonder when ownership will realize that its not the managers who are the problems but its the divas in the clubhouse themselves.

I'm pretty sure ownership / GMs realize this but the combination of the fact that it's a lot easier to replace a manager than a lineup and replacing management gives the perception that the team is moving in a new direction.
In the case of the Red Sox, I think a big part of the problem is with the ownership itself anyways.
