Offseason baseball Thread

Those are the only other 2 teams with money?

 

You think anyone, anywhere, hears about this deal and says "I wonder what Stephen A. Smith will have to say about about this?"



As for Stanton, I'm just glad he's out of the NL East.

 

Jim Leyritz, of all people, looks to have had it first.

 

Sounds like they didn't really get jack-shit. At least the Rangers got two years of Alfonso Soriano for A-Rod.

Thanks Jetes!

 

So, the Marlins are now a Class AAAA Yankee farm club.

 

No. Most money? Outside of the Yankees, probably.
Will he go to the Mets and take a back seat to StantonJudgeSanchez?

 

I don't know where he'll go but apparently you and Chef have it covered.

 

I hope he stays in DC. But I also think he’s the prototypical Boras freeagent.

 

This is what you get in baseball. The teams with money can buy talent. That was the real value to the Marlins, the payroll relief.

I don't know anything about the prospects, though Castro isn't nothing. He is 27, so he's going to be around a while and he fills the need created at second base with Gordon gone. That said, this was all driven by money and everybody knew it was going to be that way.

 

They couldn't even snag a $50 gift certificate to the Yankees' team store and a couple of seats to an April game against the Twins?

 

Never gets old ...

 

This was little more than a salary dump for Jetes and the Marlins. But, damn, isn't that oversized jukebox in left-center pretty?

Meanwhile, think big picture.
