  1. So the Rockies are planning on Desmond being 1B, when he is a better defender than Gonzalez. Ok........ Also, remember when they gave Parra a three year deal last year? You'd have to think another trade is coming somewhere.
  2. Wilson Ramos to the Rays on a 2 year deal.
  3. Wouldn't it be hilarious if Theo drove up the price on Davis so the Nats would overpay and then the Cubs land Jansen?
  4. I love the idea of Davis in the pen. I'm just hesitant to give up a valuable trade chip for one year of a reliever. Maybe we can sell them on Clifton's good year?
  5. [tweet] [/tweet] So that's three of the Sox Top 10 prospects, including arguably the top prospect in baseball, plus another intriguing arm.
  6. Well damn. That's a lot for Boston to give up. My Red Sox-fan friend just cursed loudly. He's pissed they gave up Moncada.
  7. In LOLMets fashion, after bidding against themselves and giving up Dilson Herrera at the deadline, they're trying to find someone to take Jay Bruce off their hands now.
  8. [tweet] [/tweet]
  9. Random trade thoughts. Who says no? Cubs get: Foltynewicz, Shae Simmons Braves get: Candelario, Tseng, DJ Wilson Then: Cubs get: Kelvin Herrera Royals get: Soler, Clifton, P. Johnson
  10. [tweet] [/tweet] What would a deal for Duffy and Davis look like?
  11. They're underway. Steve Pierce goes to the Blue Jays on a two year deal. Also looks like the Giants are about to sign Melancon.
  12. The Rockies are interested in Mark Trumbo. He could hit 50 homers in Coors but it would be amusing watching him play the outfield there.
  13. Wilson is a fine bullpen arm but I wouldn't go out of the way to acquire him, and no I wouldn't trade Soler for him. He also has reverse splits for his career, tougher on righties.
  14. Apparently Derek Norris is a National and the Dbacks, with no other catchers, non-tendered Welington Castillo.
  15. [tweet] [/tweet] Nationals apparently pushing for a trade today, then could move Turner to short and non-tender Espinosa before tomorrow's deadline.
  16. We'll see. I'm sure if an opportunity came up to make a big move to improve short and long term of team they will make it. Yeah, standard case of "We'll see what happens." The Winter Meetings haven't even started yet. If there's a move for a starting pitcher they can make, I'm sure they'd do it. But obviously there aren't many holes to fill that can't be done from within.
  17. Apparently there are rumblings the Pirates have liked offers they've received for McCutchen and a trade seems likelier now. My Pirates-fan friends are pissed.
  18. Cubs are apparently interested in Daniel Hudson as a middle reliever, according to the Tribune. I like the idea, when I think of 2011 Daniel Hudson, not 2016 Daniel Hudson who went through a stretch of giving up 33 hits in just 9 innings. This year's Trevor Cahill?
  19. Well when you compare it to the affordable sum of 3 years, 15 million for Ryan Sweeney...
  20. 8 mil seems a bit excessive but I guess it will also annoy Cardinals fans?
  21. Remember when Locke was somehow an All Star?
  22. Well then. I suppose this sets them up to have him pair with Almora. Or it could be a precursor to a trade and a Fowler signing.
