Probably a smart move, either he's gone in about 6-8 months to another city or he's getting PAID to stay here and he'll be looking for an upgrade anyways.
Yeah it's anyone not listed on the A, B, C, D lists. Basically anyone who hit less than 11 HR last year, which looks to be the cutoff, so it's either MLB guys who failed to do so or minor leaguers who didn't play last year.
And apparently Andrus has a sore right arm, though I don't think it's supposed to be serious. Seems like they could definitely use Barney. I doubt they bring up Odor, and I don't see many internal options for them. They might be a little gun shy about dealing with Theo again after the last 2 trade deadline deals we've made with them. Especially after their GM pretty much admitted to being short sighted and getting taken advantage of in the Garza deal. That's fine, just get rid of Barney and take cash
A- Miguel Cabrera B- Jay Bruce, Mike Trout C- Carlos Gomez, Giancarlo Stanton, Anthony Rizzo D- Wil Myers, Jason Heyward, David Wright, Eric Hosmer, Buster Posey WC- PM'd
The super computer said Trout really disliked Scioscia's kid being in the same organization as him and that it increased our odds of signing him one day if we could trade for and get Matt out of baseball.
Yeah he's averaged 91.7 MPH on the fastball his 3 years as a MLB pitcher, maybe something like Barney and Szczur but that would be about it. Definitely wouldn't give up Vogelbach for him.
18, with Eloy? From just straight 1-a end number. But I think there are guys scattered all the way down that probably would have strong arguments for either of those top 10s. Underwood, Maples, Tseng, Dunston, Rivero, Cabrera, Skulina
Yes. Cuban was on Howard Stern about a year after the sale and he basically said he walked away because of how the terms were presented to him. If what Brett wrote is true, the Ricketts won't really own the team outright until 2019. Zell is a [expletive] genius. Evil genius. Yes, I get that. But were the terms what they were solely because it's what Zell wanted or were the terms what they were because he was under restrictions with how a deal could get done due to being in bankruptcy with the parent company?
