Greinke won a Silver Slugger!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I wish Dan Uggla had a Twitter account.

Is Renteria a good choice...

 

[CygnusXS]

Reports coming out that the Braves will "definitely check in" on Roy Halladay if Tim Hudson signs elsewhere.

That would be a waste of money.

 

[thefro]

Is Renteria a good choice...

Solid, safe choice for what the Cubs need at the moment. They couldn't afford to gamble with someone like Ausmus who had never been a minor league manager or ML position coach before.

 

[Peru]

Yeah I don't know jack of course, but I generally like what I'm reading - multilingual, history grooming young players, mild mannered.

 

[Lambtron]

Miguel Sano's winter ball season is over due to a sprained UCL. This fucking team, man.

 

[jbug617]

Didn't Kuroda do the same thing last year?

@Ken_Rosenthal: One GM sees threat of Kuroda returning to Hiroshima Carp forcing #Yankees to go beyond $14.1M qualifying offer. Kuroda made $15M in 2013.

 

[Branduil]

Rangers sign Perez through 2017.

 

[Dominican Power]

Didn't Kuroda do the same thing last year?

Better off paying for Tanaka.

 

[Sanjuro]

David Ortiz finished 3rd in Boston’s mayoral election.

 

[jbug617]

Good luck with that.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: E. Santana seeking $100M, Nolasco $80M on five-year deals. Story: http://t.co/q8iNLosRrr

Good luck with that.

No way in hell.

Hahaha no.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Dodgers and Don Mattingly in talks for a multiyear deal.

Sure, why not.

 

[Malo]

I want to live in whatever world Ervin Santana is living in.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Isn't every team getting an extra $25M a year from the national TV deal? More salary inflation is right around the corner.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Stephen Drew has declined the qualifying offer from the Red Sox.

 

[Dominican Power]

I hope every GM knows that Kauffman and The Royals defense made him look better than he really is.

Damn, didn't realize the Reds were 5th on the list.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Miami is going to figure out a way to make that number negative.

 

[Fox318]

Miami is going to figure out a way to make that number negative.

Center field fountain and fish tanks is the number one priority.

 

[BFIB]

Damn, didn't realize the Reds were 5th on the list.

Not to worry, they'll drop down quite a bit once Phillips is traded.

 

[eznark]

Who would take that contract? Has there been any talk?

 

[BFIB]

Who would take that contract? Has there been any talk?

All I've read via mlbtraderumors is that the Yankees inquired, but I think they inquire on everyone, so that's not surprising.

 

[eznark]

Yeah, he just signed that thing. He is owed $50m over the next 4 years. That's a terrible contract.

 

[Fox318]

Dodgers could use a new bat boy

 

[Zep]

I don't see the value in dumping his contract for a few bullpen arms. Outside of the Yankees losing Cano (read: not happening) and the Yankees offering a decent package, I don't see a destination for him. I know there was some talk of Hamilton moving to 2nd but I don't see it...He's better off playing CF, where he could be be more valuable with his speed.

Barring something big at the GM meetings, I think Phillips stays in Cincy.

 

[BFIB]

Dodgers could use a new bat boy

Dee Gordon not good enough?

 

[Fox318]

Dee Gordon not good enough?

He has a hard time picking up bats that are heavier than him.

 

[jbug617]

Good to hear Drew isn't going to take the QO

Does the Mets' bar include Bobby Bonilla's money?

 

[jbug617]

Red Sox have interest in Tim Hudson

@JeffPassan: Not only does Boston want Tim Hudson, as @JonHeymanCBS said, sources say it's mutual. Tight with David Ross, other Sox. Hudson wants a ring.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Does the Mets' bar include Bobby Bonilla's money?

No.

 

[3N16MA]

Phillips is losing speed, he is losing power (look at his ISO), that power loss is leading to less XBH, he has a shitty attitude, he thinks he is a god because he had a 100 RBI season.

I hope the Yankees don't touch him.

 

[CygnusXS]

Red Sox have interest in Tim Hudson

And here I thought when his ankle snapped it guaranteed him coming back on a one-year incentive deal.

 

[Zep]

I thoughthoped it guaranteed him not coming back at all.

 

[Windu]

despite already having six starters for five spots, the Red Sox "really want" Hudson, a person familiar with the team's thinking told Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. Heyman adds that the Braves still value Hudson as a veteran in a surprisingly young clubhouse.

you bastards

 

[CygnusXS]

you bastards

There's talk of him getting 2/24 which is not happening in Atlanta for obvious reasons. Any team willing to do that can enjoy their purchase.

 

[CygnusXS]

I wonder which of their 4 3B prospects the Cubs are most willing to part with. I wouldn't mind Olt or Villanueva.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

There's talk of him getting 2/24 which is not happening in Atlanta for obvious reasons. Any team willing to do that can enjoy their purchase.

There is no fucking way anyone is giving 38-year-old Tim Hudson a multiyear deal at $12 million a season.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Carlos Beltran has declined the Qualifying Offer from the Cardinals.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Carlos Beltran has declined the Qualifying Offer from the Cardinals.

He'll be a Yankee in the morning.

 

[Dominican Power]

No more than 2 years for Beltran.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Beltran is seeking a multiyear deal of at least three-four years.

 

[darkside31337]

Beltran is seeking a multiyear deal of at least three-four years.

As much as I love him any team that gives a 36 year old Carlos Beltran that kind of deal is absolutely insane.
