Solid deal for Garza.

Ez, be happy!

I am.

 

[BFIB]

I'm guessing now that Tanaka is off the table, pieces will really start moving now.

Another good option for the Brewers would be Nelson Cruz.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Greg Maddux going into the hall with NO LOGO.

I feel sick

Cygnus probably has something to do with this

Well he loved playing as a Cub. I don't blame him.

I doubt he likes the organization very much, unless he has a terrible memory, and I am pretty sure the feeling is mutual.

Sources: #Mets made offer to Balfour that exceeded #Rays’ two-year, $12M bid. Balfour preferred to be closer to his home in Clearwater, Fl.


that and who the hell would want to play for the mest

 

[captmcblack]

Greg Maddux not retiring as a Brave?

Damn...I would've thought the trio (Glavine/Maddux/Smoltz) would've all been Braves when they got into the Hall.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

so Mets wanted Balfour? seems like Sandy can add to the payroll if need be.

 

[santeesioux]

So are the Mariners really done spending?

 

[Syrinx]

So are the Mariners really done spending?

Really not too much to spend on anymore. Unless you like Ervin Santana.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Really not too much to spend on anymore. Unless you like Ervin Santana.

Ervin Santana on a reasonable deal wouldn't be that bad for Seattle. They still need rotation and bull pen help.

And another starting outfielder.

Nelson Cruz!

 

[jakncoke]

Was looking through the FA list of who is left, Someone should sign Jeff Karstens so the Pirates dont.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

the Mets should give James McDonald a chance at this point. AAA SP starting depth.

 

[ToxicAdam]

The Mets are going to get Ubaldo.

 

[Fox318]

Mets are going to grab pretzel vendors off of the street to pitch for them.

 

[jbug617]

Lester willing to take discount to stay in Boston

@GordonEdes: Lester says he not only expects he will have to take a discount to stay, he's willing to do so''

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

The Mets are going to get Ubaldo.

no need. Fatcolo, Niese, Gee, Wheeler, and Mejia is a solid five. Lannan, Montero, Syndergod and deGrom are all ready to contribute if need be.

 

[Syrinx]

Yeah the rotation now is as good as it's going to get. Focus for the remainder of the offseason should be on the bullpen. And getting Stephen Drew if possible.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Lester willing to take discount to stay in Boston

what a dumbass

 

[CygnusXS]

Are we sure Boston isn't slipping some of these guys money under the table?

 

[Malo]

Good deal for the brewers with Garza. I would have liked him for that money if the Yankees didn't sign Tanaka.

I really wanted Balfor. Fuck the Rays.

 

[Sanjuro]

Missed the Sizemore signing. Nice pickup, Ben.

[darkside31337]

The Yankees are now considering free-agent shortstop Stephen Drew, which could potentially put another dent in the rival Red Sox's up-the-middle alignment only weeks after the Yankees signed Boston star center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury.

http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer...-issue-yankeesare-now-looking-closely-at-drew

Damn. Derek Jeter is gonna have to ride the bench. Yankees turning their back on Derek Jeter. Shameful!

 

[Sanjuro]

Drew is embarrassing against lefties. Platoon with Jeter, give him time. I called it months ago.

 

[Dominican Power]

I seriously can't believe that Drew can command that much. He's mediocre. I guess having league average at any position is valuable.

 

[Sanjuro]

I seriously can't believe that Drew can command that much. He's mediocre. I guess having league average at any position is valuable.

Because he had a good season, plays excellent defense, and despite having one of the worst playoff performances of all time he won a World Series.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

No draft pick loss...I'm ok with this. Nice cheap deal. I assume he'll pitch a grand total of around 525 innings but he's a cheap risk for a 2+ WAR pitcher.

There is a draft pick loss. The Brewers lose their 2nd round pick for signing Garza.

 

[BFIB]

Yankees signing every middle infielder they can. With all the money they spent, they could have traded for Brandon Phillips.

 

[darkside31337]

But they got Brian Roberts!

Are you sure?

 

[rando14]

Are you sure?

I'm pretty sure Garza doesnt have a pick compensation. Ubaldo and Ervin do though

 

[Malo]

Not for Gardner.

I wouldn't mind Drew on a one or two year deal. We definitely need the infield help.

 

[cashman]

Because every pitcher strikes out batters with 3 pitches.

Yeah, but they're getting outs which is much better than hitters constantly finding holes in a defense.

 

[jakncoke]

That only happens if you have a shitty defense

 

[Mr. Enigma]

You're all correct. I thought the Rangers extended him a QO. They didn't. No draft pick loss for the Brewers.

Gotta keep that home grown talent!

 

[Malo]

Gotta keep that home grown talent!

Or you know.... Keep the better player!

Edit: Brewers are saying the Garza deal isn't done yet.

 

[Dominican Power]

That only happens if you have a shitty defense

Yes because every team has a great defense.

Gotta keep that home grown talent!

Yankees brass love Gardner and they wanted to match up him with Elsbury. Similar to what Boston did with Victorino.

 

[Friggz]

brandon phillips isnt good. im glad they didnt go that route.

 

[Zep]

PS3 doe...

The tease begins.

 

[BFIB]

At least CC will be fat in The Show

 

[Sanjuro]

WHERE IS THE FUCKING PS4

RBI Baseball is going to be the best baseball game this year, isn't it?

 

[Friggz]

I'm pretty sure Garza doesnt have a pick compensation. Ubaldo and Ervin do though

becuase garza was moved mid season, he wasnt eligible for a qualifying offer.

 

[jakncoke]

Yes because every team has a great defense.

Pull yourself up by bootstraps and get better at defense!

 

[Malo]

I wish he was still fat :/

Where this from?

 

[BFIB]

I've got a feeling we won't be seeing the PS4 version of the show until May.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Nelson Cruz!

Nelson Cruz is barely an outfielder.

Still, Jeff Sullivan wrote a nice piece on USSMariner about what price point/years makes sense for the Mariners to grab Nelson Cruz.

 

[Zep]

Where this from?

Taipei show. Only PS3 and Vita versions there from what Ive heard.
