Ahhhhhhhh getting shut out in the Rule 5 sucks.

Did you have room on your 40 man roster?
lol Seattle with 6 Rule 5 picks...

Got 3 of the 4 guys I wanted. Not a bad haul.

I hope it wasn't me, was it? I was third overall, but I checked every player's history after adding them to my draft list. I didn't get my pick, Ketel Marte, but I think Seattle snuck him back onto their 40-man after the eligible players list was posted.
Overall, I'm happy with my haul. Got a good SP, great defensive/platoon catcher, and a nice reliever. I'll probably keep them all.

I sure did! I was looking through the 40 list going, "man there are some good guys in this!" and then going, "wait these guys are in my system already!". The sim before told me I had no one to protect, so I quickly added probably 4 guys to my 40 since I had more than enough empty slots.
I got a lot more dudes than I expected too. Not sure how I'm gonna make that work.

Well dang. After having tried to swing a trade with you for him previously, I thought I may have had a chance at getting him for free!
(I couldn't believe you would purposefully expose him to the Rule 5 though. I thought maybe you were on a timely vacation, lol!)Gee was signed just before FA class came out. He was already in the free agency pool and the Astros with their new found money had a hole to burn in their pockets.

Just over a million to get a Very Popular player that raised the fan support from 48 to 50? Sounds like a fair deal to me!

STL/SF blockbuster trade agreement
STL receives:
Madison Bumgarner
Matt Cain
Marcos Santana
SF receives:
Jayson Heyward
Cole Baker
We came very close to doing a Heyward/Bumgarner swap at the deadline but I decided to wait and go with the team I had. It's tough to let Heyward go but Bum is signed at a reasonable deal and I really needed a starting LHP. And having a Wacha + Bumgarner 1-2 punch is no joke. I get Santana to take on Cain's contract who hopefully makes a decent #4/#5 starter.

Holy crap. Glad I'm not in the central

Gonna have 2 rookies in my rotation this next season. Would have 3, but one of my guys just went over the 50 IP mark last season so he won't qualify as being a rookie.
Batting lineup should be more interesting at least with Panik/Heyward/Posey/Belt/Upton.

This would make more sense if I wasn't St. Louis.

Obviously they're trying to get you to bid against yourself.
You should double your offer obviously

I may have someone interested in the Yankees spot. He'll post here in the thread some time later.

Rule 5 selection Tanner Murphy has been returned to the Baltimore Orioles. As it is I still have 3 catchers on my 25 man roster, gonna probably have to shed one more.
Pretty amazed I got a big free agent! $10.5mm a year for a guy who is an elite defensive RFer with 65 power!

I was going after him as a DH. My scout said he couldn't play D, and he also has no speed.

I was tempted to throw an offer to Garza, but giving a 30 year old a long-term, $10M contract to compete with Marisnick and Springer didn't seem like a wise plan.
I tried something like that initially and then bumped it up to 9 over 4 years with 10 in the final 5th year.
Because Cleveland lacks a good power hitter I would have been willing to spend it on a DH, but still fell short.
I have power hitters available. One even plays RF!

If anyone is interested in Desmond Jennings lemme know. Not looking for much, just a decent/good RP or some okay SP depth (need either option to be relatively cheap).
