Toritani signing?

[glory]

Not even safe to twitter search anymore.

 

Since AA is said to have interest in Beckham seemingly every off-season, I'm expecting it to happen eventually.

Running out of options for 2015. I suppose he could come in and compete for a job. Better be a MiLB contract though. I'd rather run with Izturis for a month or two than sign Beckham to a MLB contract.

Gordon Beckham hasn't hit since 2009 lol. Eventually draft status and prospect reports stop being relevant.

Padres is I was found to be presenting the “best conditions” for Toritani. I just found that we have been negotiating with Blue Jays, but was revealed comprehensively the story of the US baseball official, it’s the content.

 

Rather than a second baseman, towards the major contract in the shortstop of the professional, and that are discussing.

 

. . .

 

Jed Jako infielder of the season from 6-year contract to second base (26), but the third base there are promising strain as Yanherubisu-Sorate infielder (27), hole of guerrilla vacant To gaping. So, I mean Toritani emerged.

 

Home Petco Park is also the burden to the foot small in natural grass. San Diego’s climate also livable in Japanese also warm and safe urban. Studied to Iguchi (now Lotte) is also a baseball team was a member of the 2008.

Jed Gyorko and Yangervis Solarte, they mean? I can't stop laughing.

So this thing happening, or what? Also what's the latest on Kang? He's already been posted but I havent heard much otherwise

Teams are always quiet about bidding on posted players; the secret bid process means you don't want other teams to know how interested you are. I doubt we'll know much about Kang until some team wins the bidding.

 

The Toritani thing should just happen already. He's not an elite free agent who can benefit from dragging out the process.

AA actually commented on a player for (seemingly) the first time ever yesterday, when he said they had significantly scouted Toritani. He said that he sees him as a good fit and that he has had talks with their side.

 

You can find the link to the interview with Blair here.

 

This just feels weird to me. Of all the players and possible transactions in the history of your tenure, why would you choose to admit your interest in Toritani of all people? Wouldn't you essentially want to hide your interest in a seemingly under-the-radar guy?

 

Also, the bidding deadline for Kang is on Friday, so we probably don't hear who won the bidding until then, maybe even a few days later. Whoever wins will still draw it out longer, since they'll have 30 days to negotiate with him from that point.

The deadline for teams to submit a bid is this Friday at 5:00pm et ... this is the posting fee paid to the Japanese team

 

I think the team with the winning bid then has 30 days to negotiate a contract with Kang

Kang is Korean. Was your first sentence about Toritani?

Oops, sorry about that I meant to say Kang's former Korean team (not Japanese team)

AA mentioning interest in a free agent outright is pretty rare. He could have tap danced around the question like he does for every other question he is asked but he didn't. Hopefully that means it's close to happening. I don't want Izturis/Goins starting at 2B.

Or maybe it means that there's no longer any chance of it happening at all

Source says Padres do not have a current offer in for Japanese shortstop

 

For now, the Padres are insisting they’re comfortable with Alexi Amarista as their No. 1 shortstop. That doesn’t mean they aren’t looking high and low for options in a search that has already turned up Clint Barmes as a backup.

He's staying in Japan. He's got it way to good in Japan and to give it all that up to play second base, deal with the language barrier and make basically the same money makes no sense on his part. He's not going anywhere.

And the Jays are comfortable with Arencibia as their #1 catcher!

His dream to play in the MLB?

"Toronto is still interested in Japanese infielder*Takashi Toritani, adds Davidi, but at this point are only inclined to do a cheaper, one-year contract. Indeed, the club has not yet made an offer to him, per Jon Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter)."

 

Just sign him AA, overpay for a year...f***!
