Any word on what TEX gave up for the extra cap space?

Probably nothing. Just wanted an excuse to not fully use up their cap space

[DuckDuckGose]

If the MArlins gave up that space without getting something significant back Loria needs to be kicked out of baseball. At some point enough has to be enough, right?

I wished we are as busy as the Rangers. Who is still left that you want the Jays to sign?

[DuckDuckGose]

The Marlins are going to be really good in 2015, so I don't know what could be done. They know what they're doing baseball-wise, all that could happen is the union making them spend more money.

 

Can't even fill the bottom bowl of a brand new ballpark, they have had some good teams but, they are a terribly run organization and not good for baseball in Florida (not the Marlins, Loria).

It's a cap system, no reason to worry. The Rangers just like to get everything done early, while the Blue Jays are being patient but will still fill their cap with players who are just as talented.

 

Most of the good guys are available. In fact, all of BA's top 6 international prospects are still unsigned.

 

Rangers just always sign the sexy names. Blue Jays have been doing that lately and maybe that's why I'm a bit discourage today haha

[TwistedLogic]

In fact, all of BA's top 6 international prospects are still unsigned.

Torres (2), Devers (3), Diplan (6), Yrizarri (7) have all signed. BA just hasn't updated their list yet.

WTF! So the Astros trade two bonus pool slots for Jose Altuve 2.0 when they already have Altuve 1.0? lol

 

If AA isn't going to do anything he might as well have just traded some space for Torreyes, who could be our solution to second base in a couple of years.

Two Altuve's is better than just one.

Perhaps AA is working to trade some space...??

Jays get Delmon Young for int'l bonus slots.

[DuckDuckGose]

Jays get Delmon Young for int'l bonus slots.

 

Bruce Chen for sure

[Mikeleelop]

Looks like the Cubs are starting to spend all the cap money they accumulated

 

The Cubs have signed SS Gleyber Torres, the No. 2 international prospect. Baseball America's full scouting report: http://t.co/FdHX0OfPEd
