Billy Beane runs things, you all just work here.

 

 

Also, re: Cespedes

@DCameronFG So I was just informed that Yoenis Cespedes’ contract requires him to be non-tendered after next year, so he’s not QO eligible.

Holy [expletive], Fuld's actually has put up okay numbers this year, he has a .263/.356/.366 line with a 2.3fWAR, and a 12% BB%, 15% K%, in just under 230 PA Edited July 31, 2014 by Cubswin11

His 31 UZR/150 is helping him put up 2+ WAR.

Why does Dave Cameron not know this already?

[Guest]

Did you know that? I knew that he was a FA after next year, but wasn't aware that it required the non-tender mechanism that would invalidate a QO.

Ken Rosenthal says Tigers are close to a deal with the Rays for Price and Zobrist.

This is a fake. Block him. RT @Ken_Rosenthal_: Sources: #Tigers close to finalizing deal with #Rays involving David Price and Ben Zobrist.

 

Sidenote: how do people end up falling for these things? Who is following the fake account that allows it to get out there?

[Guest]

Source w/ #RedSox told me team wanted to deal Lester to "team we didn't think could re-sign him." Said Sox will make offer this off-season.

[Guest]

Since I got it from them, I'm blaming MLB Network.

I feel like that's been standard with these IFA contracts where you get out early. I'm pretty sure Matsui and Kosuke(lol) had it as well. Additionally, I'm not Dave Cameron, it's literally his job to know these things.

He's at worst their third 3rd best pitcher, soooo yeah

Damn David, who's your source?

Man, Shark as a teams third best pitcher. Beane has put together a hell of a staff.

Those guys weren't FA in the QO era though, there's a lot less semantical difference in non-tender v. free agent without it. Anyway I wasn't asking to criticize, I was just surprised by it and wasn't sure if it was common knowledge I missed.
