If true, what side is more out of touch?

 

Can we beat both of their heads together until one side gets some sense knocked into them?

It's OK. The Mariners will accidentally outbid themselves to up t 6/95 in a couple days.

[Atothe]

It has to be the Mariners, they don't learn their lessons. Morse, Morales, thames, etc and etc

What the f*** is wrong with Jack Z and all of baseball. There's 30 coveted GM sports in baseball and morons are constantly being handed them

[TheHurl]

Not one Masterson trade thread yet...the board is slipping.

[Chappy]

Masterson would be an intriguing option with an extension.

Also, the Rockies are pushing hard to trade for a late innings RP. We have plenty to choose from.

Yeah, its f***ing ridiculous. There are several posters on this board who could do a better job of building a team.

[Chappy]

Janssen/Cecil/Santos for Rutledge.

 

I'd take a chance on Rutledge. Santos probably gets it done considering he has a bunch of team options after 2014.

[Chappy]

I love me some Masterson and so does xxFIP!

 

3.15 xxFIP in 2013

 

Masterson is a very good pitcher and in his prime. It will take a package with Sanchez++ but if AA can negotiate an extension, it would be worth it.

I would absolutely take Masterson if he came with an extension. The likely price might be a little painful if he doesn't though.

Indians are no longer selling

[G-Snarls]

What would Rays ask from LAD??

 

[eastcoastjaysfan]

5/75 offer to play in a beautiful city like Seattle. Meanwhile, I'm coming off a 50 game suspension and I've also experienced a massive decline in my ability to play baseball.

 

Better turn it down!

 

I hope nobody else offers Cruz a contract. f***ing greedy prick.

Well looking at what Peralta got, Cruz knows his PED suspension won't affect him.

[z3r0s]

love me some Rutledge. Play him at 2B and spell Reyes at SS. You have a built-in option when Reyes can't go at SS anymore.

[Boxcar]

Well looking at what Peralta got, Cruz knows his PED suspension won't affect him.

 

The fact that he's a glorified pinch hitter should.

[NorthOf49]

Masterson's k-rate this year was a huge outlier and he historically has massive platoon splits. I'll pass.

[Ehjays]

Maybe they're trying to sell high on him

[Angrioter]

Diamondbacks are gonna give Choo Ellsbury money

 

Great

 

Ken_Rosenthal now

Three execs don't see fascination with Trumbo, citing low OBP, streakiness, struggles vs. RHPs in '13. Two compared him to Mark Reynolds.

[Ehjays]

See if we could trade draft picks in baseball then the Jays could come up with a great package for some high priced player about to be traded.

 

they have made alot of changes to the system that has a negative affect on the Jays (cap on draft pick money)but if we could trade picks it would only help us cause we don't have much success signing any of them anyways.

The only picks you can trade in the new system are competitive balance picks and sadly the Jays don't get those.

[Ehjays]

Yeah, and that does not help us. I don't see why they don't allow the teams to trade them....it would help some teams.

I mean really, too bad just adding homers and rbizz doesn't actually tell much of anything.
