Seattle Mariners to give out Wii U's on opening day.

Install base to go up a thousand.

Install base to go up a thousand.

100% increase!

Royals acquire Aoki from the Brewers. Out on Beltran?

 

[rando14]

Why does no one want to play for Seattle? Great place and low expectations. Like extended summer camp.

Exactly !!

 

[The Frankman]

The Mets and free-agent OF Curtis Granderson are in intense talks about a three- or four-year deal that could be worth around $17 million a season, according to a combination of reports.

Mets seem to be open to 4 years as long as Year One is less money.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Seattle loves a winner

Don't most cities?

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Royals acquire Aoki from the Brewers. Out on Beltran?

Read on Twitter think it was Rosenthal that they are still in.

 

[Fox318]

Don't most cities?

Cleveland doesn't like winners.

Red Sox sign Mujica to a two yr deal.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Source: Mujica, #RedSox in agreement, two years, $9.5M, pending physical. First reported: @JeffPassan.

 

[BFIB]

Solid pickup in Mujica.

 

[Enron]

wtf brewers

 

[Opiate]

Solid pickup in Mujica.

Not 5M/year solid, but there have been worse signings.

 

[BFIB]

Not 5M/year solid, but there have been worse signings.

With the price of pitching this year, it almost looks like a bargain!

 

[lucius]

Word is the Mariners already beat the Yanks offer..

He should go there then, Yankees need pitching more than paying Cano like 200 mil he is not Babe Ruth or even as clutch as someone like Ortiz, heck Paul O'Neil was more clutch in big moments, way too streaky of a hitter, awesome defense though.

Plus, he'd get to play for the #6org.

Rakuten might not post Tanaka this year.
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/12/rakuten-golden-eagles-may-not-post-masahiro-tanaka.html

"There's a possibility we won't take the next step," said Tachibana. As Newsday's David Lennon noted on Twitter today, the Golden Eagles may think that retaining Tanaka is more valuable than the $20MM maximum posting fee, which is a mere fraction of the $75MM+ posting fee that was rumored under the old system.

 

[Dominican Power]

Mujica is getting destroyed in The AL East.

 

[3N16MA]

Seems like the Mariners are using the cash they went after Ellsbury with on Cano. No one wants to play for Seattle other than Felix.

 

[jakncoke]

This is late, but wow at one our prospects passing away in his sleep. Was only 24. Evan Chambers was his name. Hard to grasp that

 

[slightconfuse]

why would cano got to seattle, there is no way they would be a contender for the forseeable future. Tey have not a lot going for them.

Just tell Cano there is no pressure.

If you play bad the fans will be glued to their 3DS in the stands anyway.

No need to hustle.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

$200 million.

Sorry to hear that. I imagine its a lot like when us M's fans found out Greg Halman was stabbed to death by his brother in Holland.

 

[Pryce]

Come on Mariners, trade for Kemp. You know you want to.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Orioles have reportedly "jumped to the front" of the pursuit of Nelson Cruz.

Brian McCann will wear #34 for the Yankees.

wow..

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Dodgers and Brian Wilson have agreed on a 1-year, $10 million contract. Contract has a $10 million player option for 2015.

Dodgers just essentially put down $20 million for an 8th inning guy. Unbelievable.

THANK YOU JESUS.

That is one horror show I want the Mariners to avoid.

Dodgers just essentially put down $20 million for an 8th inning guy. Unbelievable.

Who is the Dodger's closer? Brandon League?

Wilson was still pretty dominant when he returned for LAD. He could easily be the closer now.

Worth every penny.

Who is the Dodger's closer? Brandon League?

Kenley Jansen. It was League until Donnie finally got the message that he sucked.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

So now the Rakuten Eagles may not decide to post Masahiro Tanaka. Lmao

 

[Macattk15]

Seems dumb.

If they just wait until he hits free agency then he leaves for the MLB while the team gets nothing ... at least they'd still get $20M if they posted him now ...

 

[CygnusXS]

Kimbrel is going to destroy the market for relievers when he gets to FA. 5/$100 easy.

 

[Dominican Power]

wtf Doyers

 

[Mr. Enigma]

 

[Enron]

Kimbrel is going to destroy the market for relievers when he gets to FA. 5/$100 easy.

And I hope the Braves thank him for his services and send him on his way.

 

[Dominican Power]

Get Tanaka at all costs.

 

[Dominican Power]

Aoki to The Royals is a good move.

 

[Enron]

lol

Newsday's Marc Carig reports (via Twitter) that Granderson has been seeking a four-year deal worth $16MM annually.

 

[Macattk15]

lol

The fuck? Ain't no way Granderson is worth that after his 2013. That and he's 32.

 

[Sanjuro]

The fuck? Ain't no way Granderson is worth that after his 2013.

You don't pay based upon past performances.

You pay based upon previous performances and waste money on an extended warranty you don't need.

 

[BFIB]

Someone please pay Granderson that deal. It'll at least make the Peralta deal seem less worse by comparison.

Whatever. At this point I just want someone who can hit the ball. Sign me up.

 

[Blackace]

MLB and NPB have reached an agreement on a posting system.

Come on down, Mr.Tanaka.

So half the teams post 20 mil and they go after Ma-Kun like a normal FA. Should be interesting

It's hilarious that Mariners fans are actually happy about that. So desperate for someone to sign they actually like giving a 31 year old 230-240 over 10 years.

 

[BFIB]

Watch Cano take the Yankees 7 year offer instead.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Here's the thing. The reason we took Aoki today is so that our new starting pitcher Mad Mas Tanaka will have a Japanese friend on the team.

With what money are The Royals acquiring Tanaka?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

WalMart Black Friday money!

 

[3N16MA]

He probably wants the Yanks to hit 200M. To think I wanted the Yanks to go 6/150 with a 7th year option and 5M buyout. FA market is crazy.
