Yankees would trade for Lee, but a huge return in players on top of helping them out by absorbing all that salary? Hell no.

 

[Dominican Power]

Curtis Granderson is my new favorite player.

Enjoy your 200Ks. We'll see how real New Yorkers are going to be to Granderson then.

Yep. I don't think Amaro understands how trades like that work, bless his heart. If you're going to ask the other team to assume the salary, you can't really ask for important players in return too.

@nickpiecoro
Source says the three-team deal is done.

Dbacks will be getting Trumbo and two players to be named later, Eaton to White Sox, Skaggs and Santiago to Angels.


Fucking Hahn

 

[aFIGurANT]

Dbacks land Trumbo

edit:beaten

 

[Branduil]

So with the Rangers and Dbacks out on Choo, does that make Seattle the favorites?

 

[Malo]

I never thought I'd see the day where the Angels would fleece a team.

 

[Malvingt2]

Adam Eaton‏@AdamSpankyEaton
Well, that escalated quickly...

lol

 

[BFIB]

I never thought I'd see the day where the Angels would fleece a team.

Every squirrel gets a nut every now and then. Don't worry, I'm sure the Angels will flip Skaggs for Ichiro or something. They'll find a way to fuck it up.

 

[Dominican Power]

Enjoy the HRs and nothing else, D Backs fans.

Sabean to swoop in and offer ludicrous contract!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Welcome to the wild NL West, Mark.

 

[rekameohs]

Man, Towers sure loves shitting away good pitching talent. And it's pretty incredible that Jerry DiPoto stole Skaggs from the Angels, and now stole him to the Angels.

 

[CygnusXS]

Anderson for Pomeranz+ is a go. Probably a good move for Drew.

 

[jbug617]

Here is the deal

@Ken_Rosenthal: Source: #Rockies acquire Brett Anderson from #Athletics for Drew Pomeranz and Chris Jensen.

 

[Gannd]

Here is the deal

Sonny Gray better be ready to rock next year. I was hoping Anderson would be traded for a batt.

 

[ggnoobIGN]

Hector Santiago is seriously the coolest pro athlete ever. No exaggeration. A guy who will sit there and ask you questions about your life like youre the cool guy in the conversation and he genuinely cares. Seriously it's a humbleness that I haven't seen from a pro. He's also big in the community. I won't bore you with that but you can google it (the newtown stuff in particular). Really sad he's gone. Angels got a good one.

 

[Macattk15]

God damnit Mariners.

I don't want Logan fucking Morrison.

Don't need a Justin Smoak with shitty defense clone.

 

[Zep]

Yep. I don't think Amaro understands how trades like that work, bless his heart. If you're going to ask the other team to assume the salary, you can't really ask for important players in return too.

Absolute bullshit rumor. Going from re-signing Utley and going after Byrd...To trading your top two pitchers! Yea...right. Ruben may be an idiot, but hes shown the direction hes going.

I didn't have te pleasure to meet Hector yet, but everything I've read about him is overwhelmingly positive. I sure hope Adam Eaton is worth it. But all he has to do is catch the baseball and don't make baserunning blunders...
As I typed this Alejandro de Aza was picked off from first base twice.

 

[slightconfuse]

Mets fans are real New Yorkers .

Hahahahahaha

 

[Sanjuro]

To be fair, when I was in New York I ran into more "fans" who watched the Mets primarily. A good portion of the Yankee fans either weren't knowledgeable or just liked wearing the cap.

That being said, they never gave me shit or assaulted me like Mets fans.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

By-product of having to deal with Phillies fans for so long, no doubt!

You probably were acting like a real Red Sox fan at the time.

Being blindsided while searching for a cab? Right...

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Have you told this story? I feel like you have but I can't remember it.

 

[Sanjuro]

Have you told this story? I feel like you have but I can't remember it.

Told it a while ago I believe. Long story short, was harassed by fans in the stadium. On the way out looking for a cab, a whole separate group of Mets fans just jumped me, shoved me to the ground. There was just some guy with his kid who kind of ran and and told them to fuck off.

I think the only genuinely nice person in that whole cesspool was one of the ushers who called me Fenway every time I went.

 

[Macattk15]

I hope his goatee gives him more powerrrrrrrrrrr.

 

[Sanjuro]

I hope his goatee gives him more powerrrrrrrrrrr.

Transforming into Ortiz by the minute.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Nothing gets your mediocre team better than doing absolutely jack shit. Right, Walt?

 

[El_Chino]

I hope his goatee gives him more powerrrrrrrrrrr.

Look at that $240 million dollar smile!

Hope he doesn't get the Albert Pujols syndrome for the Mariner's sake.

 

[Y2Kev]

I hope his goatee gives him more powerrrrrrrrrrr.

dude those are tits

NSFW pictures in here

 

[Zep]

Whos that next to Erick Aybar?

 

[Macattk15]

Transforming into Ortiz by the minute.

If he turned into Ortiz at 37 I know I certainly wouldn't fucking mind.

 

[aFIGurANT]

If he turned into Ortiz at 37 I know I certainly wouldn't fucking mind.

So long as he doesn't turn into Pujols at 32, right?

 

[jakncoke]

Looking over who we could lose on Thursday, its a shame about Stetson Allie, although he can throw 100 and mash homeruns all the rest seem to escaped him like hitting a strikezone..ect

 

[Mr. Enigma]

So...Mark Mulder just announced at the winter meetings that he's coming out of retirement and wants to pitch in 2014.

wait! are you serious?

 

[Sanjuro]

Giants need to sign him and Zito. Release letterman jackets for them to wear.

 

[CygnusXS]

Giants have already given him a call.

Is he broke? I cant imagine a 5 year absence going to lead to anything.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Mulder's last post on Twitter seems to confirm it in a subtle way:

Fun 5-6 days in Monterey. Cal club was amazing and that's the best shape Pebble has ever been in when I have played it. Now--back to work?

 

[Sanjuro]

Is he broke? I cant imagine a 5 year absence going to lead to anything.

Get all the steroids in your body before you can be tested. Smart plan!

Mulder's last post on Twitter seems to confirm it in a subtle way:

I'm disappointed now. All that means is he is ready to harass the women of Hooters once again.

 

[brianjones]

mulder came to this decision after trying to imitate paco rodriguez's delivery in his living room lol

 

[jello44]

The #Astros are one of a handful of teams who have talked with reps for Grady Sizemore, who hasn't played since 2011.

Interesting.... if he can stay healthy.

If you were eating a hotdog without ketchup on it you deserved to be pushed to the ground.

All the New Yorkers advocating assault. Real talk.

Just pointing out that he's a Yankees fan. And likes ketchup on his hot dogs.

 

[Sanjuro]

Technically, he is a Laker fan. So I'm sure he is from Florida or something. Rubs down his hot dog with coconut oil or some shit.
