(2014) Winter Meetings Discussion Thread

[burlingtonbandit]

Billy Beane has made such weird moves in the last year. A lot of value lost on the surface.

[TheHurl]

Big move in the making:

 

 

Pair of Johnson's in return? Tim Anderson?

[TwistedLogic]

It is being speculated that Anderson is off-limits in this particular deal (due to Shark's rental status), and that Semien is the likely centerpiece.

 

[baseballsss]

how good is semein?

[jaysfan2014]

Forgot to mention this, apparently Syndegaard may not get to the majors with the Mets:

Utility guy

[z3r0s]

I want back.

[baseballsss]

Utility guy

 

Bean could get better from atleast the red soxs no? obviously the prospect(s) is gunna be decent but I don't understand the butler signing then go and trade everyone else away

Seems best suited for SS.. decent power and OBP in the minors, yet to translate in the majors. Perhaps a change of scenery will help.

Give them Dickey back? LOL

Holy f*** has Barry Davis put on weight. Also this panel just seems awkward.

[TwistedLogic]

A voice in my head just told me that the Jays are going to sign Shields.

That shouldn't be a surprise. Everybody that represents Toronto is awkward.

Agent terry bross says dan uggla intends to make a comeback, and five teams are interested.

Devan Marerro's not close to MLB ready with the bat, and needs a full season in AAA to improve it. His glove is ready.. but unless he hits, he won't get any playing time with Xander Bogaerts at SS.

That tweet is useless. You could have that tweet for 95% of players in baseball.

Is Hanley playing left then?

[TwistedLogic]

a) most random development of the day.

 

he means Chris Johnson, right?

Now flip Navarro to the Diamondbacks for Evan Marshall.

Continues to sound like this Miguel Montero trade with the Cubs has legs. If it happens, it's "likely" for two A-ball pitchers.

 

Goodbye Tseng!

CJ Edward?

Things are quite on the Jays front (non president related), a little too quite....

Any of you know where do I'm going to ?

 

lol

[King]

CJ Edward?

 

Doubt it but we'll see..

[Stangstag]

I have a feeling that AA is planning a big signing

Jays are notorious for doing nothing during the Winter Meetings. AA has spoken enough about how he doesn't like making moves amidst all the chaos. I kinda wish it wasn't like that, since the moves during the meetings get so much coverage. Oh well, as long as he gets the moves done and the team's as good as it can be come March, I can live with them taking their time.

 

Still cautiously hoping they do something before the meetings are up.

CJ Edwards isn't that great or anything. Maybe Tseng and Pierce Johnson.

 

 

Also, can we stop posting Cotillo rumours as news? Thanks.

Doesn't mean he won't get anything done, it probably just doesn't fit his style. He doesn't like anything getting leaked and pretty much everything gets leaked at the meetings which is why he probably despises it.

So who is the fifth team supposedly in on Lester? I have a sneaking suspicion that the mystery team will sign him.
