(2014) Winter Meetings Discussion Thread

[jaysfan2014]

Busy day, and all I can say is thank you to Friedman for leaving Tampa.

 

Especially by ripping off the Marlins (loads of panning of the Gordon trade in the media on Miami's side), and possibly getting Rollins.

[z3r0s]

Best part of the Heaney deal is that its the kind of thing Friedman was wet dreaming about back in Tampa. Write off 10M to make a great deal.

Eff off Fried

[glory]

Friedman's Dodgers with that front office and unlimited money is going to be a monster.

[burlingtonbandit]

Dodgers winning the offseason by a landslide.

 

At least all these guys aren't going to be in the AL

[GreekFatAss]

Haren out, McCarthy in.

[z3r0s]

Haren out, McCarthy in.

Liriano, McCarthy gone, Santana possibly. Jays gonna strike out on B list pitchers?

 

They need more pitching or the big acquisitions are likely for naught!

I don't even know why anyone would follow him. All you really need to do is follow Ken, because everyone else just tweets what he tweets 2 min later.

[Jimcanuck]

Gavin Floyd anyone?

 

Steamer projects 1.2 WAR from 22 GS. If he can stay healthy can exceed Happ's value. And Floyd could be had fairly cheap. We know AA has liked him in the past.

[burlingtonbandit]

I'd say our offseason was better so far.

 

If they trade Kemp for Grandal it might swing the other way. I agree I got a little excited and completely forgot we got Saunders, Martin, Travis andd the 2nd best player in baseball the last 2 years!!

Dodgers acquire Kendrick for the pitcher they got from Miami

"Robert Murray ‏@RobertMurrayMLB 1m1 minute ago

Andrew Friedman has now made 10 trades since taking over the #Dodgers 25 days ago. Crazy."

Dang that's the guy I really wanted.

 

Dodgers having a great offseason. Funny what a breath of fresh air does to an organization.

Wtf howie?

Dodgers acquire Kendrick for the pitcher they got from Miami

 

Friedman not giving a f***

[King]

So LAD trades a shitbag to MIA for Heaney +++....... then flip Heaney to the Angels for Kendrick

 

Gawd damn

[King]

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 4m4 minutes ago

#Rangers have had talks with free-agent reliever Sergio Santos, sources say, but he's not the pitcher with whom they are close to a deal.

[Abomination]

Not really a fan of Heaney for Kendrick for the Dodgers. Nice deal for the Angels I think.

 

No kidding. That's a terrible deal imo. It would be different if Kendrick had a few years of control left perhaps, but 1???

[burlingtonbandit]

Dodgers still got a big upgrade from Gordon to Kendrick for next season plus the other prospects in the Miami deal. Angels did pretty well though.

[TRM]

1 year of Kendrick for 6 years of Heaney. Dodgers want it this year.

 

My god Friedman will be a legend if he can get them a title in his first year.
