Do you think there is any way that the yanks will try to trade for daniel murphy?

Hell no.

 

[The Frankman]

Hell no.

One of the best cheap 2B options if Mets actually try to deal him.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 3m

Rangers, Blue Jays agreed on deal sending Sergio Santos to Texas but another player failed physical, sources tell @Ken_Rosenthal and me.


Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 2m

At that point, deal fell apart. This happened about 2 weeks ago. Sources say this was a 3-way deal.

I wonder who failed

Kind of astounding that it wasn't Santos who failed a physical.

 

[El_Chino]

Waiting for Yankees to make a move on Infante, Colon (he did well with NYY), and maybe trumbo? lol

 

[CygnusXS]

I personally can't wait to see what Kevin Towers does. Current rumour is Skaggs for Trumbo.

 

[Dominican Power]

Trumbo would rake in AZ but that dude has holes in his swing. He's feast or famine.

 

[CygnusXS]

Yeah, but apparently the Angels want more than just Skaggs which is crazy to me but OK.

For someone with a sub .300 OBP?

Sounds silly to me. I don't care how many HR's he hits ... he doesn't hit for average and he doesn't get on base. Baseball player overvalued by the Angels.

You and your tangibles.

 

[CygnusXS]

Oh, and Choo talks are at "critical point" with Rangers and one other team involved. He'll probably get signed tonight.

 

[The Frankman]

6:30 pm: There’s some skepticism the Mets will find a taker for Murphy (Martino).

5:10 pm: In a one-for-one deal for Murphy, the Mets can expect a mid-rotation starting pitcher, according to people familiar with the market for second baseman (Cerrone).

Might as well just hold onto him.

Yeah the daily news reported they are willing move him, I can't see any piece the yankees have to give the mets so it would have to be a three team deal were the mets land a SS, yanks get murphy and yanks give up there catching prospect murphy and a pitcher or 2.

 

[DietRob]

Besides the shake up at manager the Reds are having such a boring offseason. Is it spring yet?

 

[JABEE]

I want Choo.

Whoops I forgot Infante. Yankees should just go at him hard, sure it's more expensive but do the Yanks care?

 

[CygnusXS]

Dbacks are the second team on Choo. I can't.

 

[Sanjuro]

Dbacks are the second team on Choo. I can't.

Seems like we are going to head out of these meetings quiet.

Can't say that I'm very interested in the idea of Choo or Kemp in this outfield.

 

[Macattk15]

God damnit.

We're gonna end up with Nelson fucking Cruz.

I know we need some RH bats ... but I'd much rather have Choo.

SWOOP IN AND OVERPAY JACK!

I'd be fine signing Mike Morse STRICTLY for DH ... but him being Mr. Glass upsets me.

 

[Sanjuro]

...how are the Mariners fans this spoiled already!?

 

[dmag1223]

What? your not excited about Skip Schumaker?

 

[yankeeforever2]

Sherman reported Yanks are out of the big money free agent market now, but who knows

 

[DietRob]

What? your not excited about Skip Schumaker?

lol

Hard to be excited for the epitome of mediocrity. I feel like this deal was made before we realized nobody wants BP.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

The Braves were willing to take Phillips in exchange for Dan Uggla. For all the problems Uggla has, he could still probably hit 35 bombs in that little league park.

LOL...Yea. The Reds aren't that desperate to get rid of his contract.

 

[weekend_warrior]

...how are the Mariners fans this spoiled already!?

They're the new Texas Ranger fans.

 

[Branduil]

Oh, and Choo talks are at "critical point" with Rangers and one other team involved. He'll probably get signed tonight.

The other team is unnamed. That makes them the mystery team, which means they will sign him.

 

[cashman]

The mystery team is the D backs.

 

[rando14]

117 win season or nothing!!

 

[Blackace]

Best of luck to Roy! Dude was a beast of a pitcher

Yeah... glad we passed on that one.

Are you getting these informations from Metsblog.com?

Peter Gammons interviewed the Rakuten owner and he doesn't intend to post Tanaka

Mikitani is the one Japanese owner who strongly opposed the new agreement, and Wednesday suggested in an interview that he would not post Tanaka, who isn’t a free agent for two more years. “It’s a terrible deal for a Japanese owner,” says one MLB executive. “I don’t blame Mikitani.”

It just so happens that the 25-year old Tanaka is in the sites of the Yankees, Dodgers and other MLB teams interested in signing him. Because he will not be a free agent until after the 2015 season, he must be posted by Rakuten, and Mikitani Wednesday said, “I don’t intend to post him.”

 

[Dominican Power]

The Rangers are building a run scoring machine.

 

[kasane]

Seems like the Yanks want to ship off Ichiro.

Mariners fans should just accept the eventual overpay for Price.

Rather have taijuan than price...

 

[Sumidor]

Gross. I don't want Price that bad.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Heyman is also saying the Mariners don't want to give up Paxton or Walker. Would rather deal position players.

 

[Macattk15]

Thank god Jack Z.

Just don't do it.

Fuck Price. Keep Skywalker.

Seriously, they need to be focusing on adding bats to that lineup, not David Price.

Amen to that.

I'd only be happy with Taijuan in a Stanton package. That ain't happenin' so keep em.

 

[Flunkie]

Halladay's retiring just seems... sudden (even though he's been having issues for awhile)... and wrong. Poor guy.

Dbacks fans must be drooling at the prospect of having Trumbo and Au Shizz both in Chase Field.

Way to hold him back. How many more millions could you want?

I've read he was expecting around $70 million before the new posting system.

 

[Blackace]

Heyman is also saying the Mariners don't want to give up Paxton or Walker. Would rather deal position players.

I'd be happy to give up Paxton for the right player

But am happy about Walker

 

[Mr. Enigma]

They were ready to give up Walker for Justin Upton. They'll eventually cave in and throw him in for Price.
