He never wanted Arrieta.... at Boras's price. I'm not at all convinced he might not have been interested, **if** Boras would have ever wanted to talk seriously involving the types of dollars that Darvish ended up signing for. Beats me, what do I know. Maybe they didn't want Arrieta, and "we thought Boras is asking too much, he never called us to tell us otherwise" was always just an excuse to not engage. But my hypothesis has still been that they had discussions with Boras, perhaps after the season, certainly dating back over the last couple of years; that they already had an understanding of what Boras wanted and thought it was too much; and that they didn't have reason to do much talking.....: until/unless Boras was to call them back and tell them that in view of the actual market, he was ready to reconsider and reduce his asking price after all. But again, what do I know. He’s referencing a joke form some other threads. Brewers fans think Stearns has been playing Theo.

No. Not long enough. I’m sure there are lots of internal meetings going on this morning where agents and owners alike are processing the Darvish signing and repositioning themselves. New offers will come out shortly after.
-
Except those first six days. Opening day starter will go on regular rest in his second start. Might be nice throw Monty a bone and let him start there.

When will these articles stop? His swing is broken. He tries to fix it. Video comes out of new swing. Modest improvement and people start claiming he's "fixed". Starts to decline again. Starts to slump. Hits tons of grounders. Somehow hits a HR and then returns to slumping again. Has a bad year with momentary flashes of success at the plate. Tries to clear mind and make improvements to swing during offseason. Wash, rinse and repeat... What is hard to understand? mallee broke him. Chili fixes him.

I got the bryant version, thanks to this thread. did your Bryant have 2015 or 2016 2016

And if any of them fail before then, Detroit Wilson, 2015 Grimm, Tseng or WORST CASE SCENARIO: Montgomery

Ervin Santana is out 10-12 weeks after finger surgery. Does this get the starting pitcher market moving?

Do we not still believe bullpens are a relative crapshoot?

Roses are red Violets are Blue All I want for V-Day is Yu

Sorry, I was referencing the whole Darvish saga, not doubling down. And the previous post wasn't as much about off-topic as it was desperately desiring Darvish news. I can see how it came across, though.

Could someone give me directions to the Yu Darvish Thread, please? eta: :)
-
it backs up all the theories, or it piles on all the theories? One way to check this out is to see who has signed and who their agents are.
-
I’d have to think it would be allowed in context.

Try Red Sox. He went there before he went to Florida

your hatred of the brewers is not irrational, your fear is Haha. True that. Although I promised I would never publicly go there ever again, and I won’t. In the new economy, lurking is not “going there.” Just don’t post.
-
Boras is not Darvish's agent, but yeah, same situation. Yup. Quick google of “Yu Darvish agent” pulled up an article on Boras running his mouth about “non-competitive cancer.” I should have dug deeper before posting. On a related note, if I ever (God forbid) have cancer, I hope it is non-competitive cancer.
-
I think its noteworthy that the teams involved are teams the Cubs would rather not see improve (Doyers and VB's). Meaning, if Boras pulled this garbage and other teams involved were Angels and Yankees, Theo withdraws the offer a week ago. If the angels get him at a lower price, fine! That sets the market lower for remaining available starters. But if the Brewers get him at a lower price, or the Dodgers, that gives them better value as they compete head to head with the Cubs (the brewers in the division would then become a legitimate threat having added 3 impact players to an unspectacular but solid core, the Dodgers would widen their projected advantage in the playoffs. This has created quite the stalemate. Nobody is budging up, and Boras knows nobody is backing off.

You’ve always been our slump buster, Butters
-
At this point, I'm going to need some evidence that Yu Darvish is actually a person. Sounds made up to me. and if he were a real person who actually played baseball, wouldn't he have signed by now? Checkmate fake baseball news.
-
I think the dissonance will be David Ortiz going in first-ballot despite having actually failed a drug test As long as the hall is more about who is not in than who is in, it’s stupid and irrelevant.
