It's not as good as win and then win some more, but it's better than tank and then tank some more without ever winning.

Someone on Facebook just said Jimmy Rlins was traded to the Didgers?

Shields would be friggin' sweet, but honestly I kinda want McCarthy more for some reason.

[Guest]

Yes. Get Shields, too.

"Cubs are talking very seriously with James Shields." -@injuryexpert @br_radio #BRAD

 

Dunno who this guy is, but sign all the players, Theo

 

Local sports radio guy. I don't know what station he's with now.

 

and @injuryexpert is will carroll who i am not sure but i think we hated 10 years ago

 

yeah because that idiot tried to tell us that mark prior was permanently broken

[gscool89]

RT @Buster_ESPN: The Marlins and the Dodgers are in serious talks about a deal that would involve Dee Gordon going to MIA, Andrew Heaney to LAD.

 

What a steal for the Dodgers if this is true.

The reason is that he seems like a super cool guy. And that is ok.

Aside from that (which is partly why I'm biased, honestly), if the Yankees version of McCarthy is the true McCarthy then he's a 4-win pitcher if he can stay healthy all year and he's allowed to throw the cutter, which he was able to do this season (he was a 2 win pitcher in 90 innings in NY). Shields is also a 4-win pitcher. Shields is older, more expensive, but more durable, but the Cubs have pitching depth if McCarthy needs some time off, so they could get Shields-like value out of someone who costs substantially less.

The Marlins with a super Marlins move sending Heaney to the Dodgers for Dee Gordon...

[Clem Fandango]

That's like a reverse Juan Pierre trade. [expletive], man I would've loved to have gotten Heaney

[shnsajax]

I like that Boras had to confirm that Elvis Andrus probably wont be traded. I can't imagine the Rangers would ever eat enough of that $118 million needed to make any trade ever work.

As well as a person named [expletive] Hernandez?

[UMFan83]

I was excited about the Shields rumor until I saw it was by Jason "Wade to the Bulls is imminent" Goff

 

I can't remember what it was but I think he made another high profile reporting blunder more recently.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Haren's in the deal too but he says he's going to retire instead lolll

[Post Count Padder]

Why do the Marlins make this trade? What a great deal for the Dodgers.

[Clem Fandango]

Full trade:

 

The Dodgers and Marlins have agreed to a blockbuster deal that will send middle infielder Dee Gordon and veteran right-hander Dan Haren to Miami in exchange for left-hander Andrew Heaney, second baseman Enrique Hernandez, righty Chris Hatcher and catcher Austin Barnes.

 

Barnes is old for his level, but his numbers a pretty nice.

Chris Hatcher seems like a nice guy to grab a couple beers with. God the Marlins are [expletive] stupid as [expletive].

[Agony and Ivy]

MLB Network is floating the idea that Harper is being traded. Absolutely nothing concrete just thought it was interesting.

Marlins have begun their moves to make sure Stanton opts out.
