Well, Goins. Muni is just a racist self-deprecating mascot.

 

lol...this!

[G-Snarls]

Goins is super utility. I'm comfortable with him backing up 2B, SS and even 3B. I would imagine he can play all 3 just fine.

..... And LF. Trade Revere

[Grant77]

Pretty happy about that. Didn't want him back, especially for two years.

 

I'm not sure I understand the 2 year deal when there are other similar guys who may not even get big league deals. I'm thinking Pete Kozma, Clint Barmes, and probably several others.

Yeah that's kinda weird. Maybe Angels management knows something we don't know.

Goins only plays LF against Buchholz.

there will be <1M +/- Replacement level guys available during spring training. doesn't make sense to pay two years for a guy who is AAAA quality.

 

glad it's not the jays doing it.

Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan

Source: Rich Hill agrees to terms with Oakland. One-year deal for $6 million, pending physical.

[Frenchsoup]

Pretty cheap pickup for OAK.

[BTS]

Such an Oakland move.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 33s33 seconds ago

#Braves, #DBacks discussed trade for ATL’s Shelby Miller, sources tell me and @jonmorosi. Talks did not progress.

 

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 32s32 seconds ago

#Braves wanted piece from #DBacks’ major-league core, sources say - perhaps Pollock, who, like Miller, is under club control three more yrs.

 

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 31s31 seconds ago

Pollock for Miller is not an unreasonable request, if that is indeed what #Braves wanted. But #DBacks were not comfortable with such a deal.

 

lol

 

The Braves are dumn. Everyone knows the conversation on Pollock starts with Mark Appel and goes from there.

He was the first to "confirm" it.

 

Still don't believe in the little dork!

Thanks brother, s***'s missed

Braves GM John Coppolella adamantly denied to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale that the Braves will even entertain the notion of trading their first baseman.

 

“I cannot make it any more clear: We are not trading Freddie Freeman,” Coppolella said. “We are not. I’d give my right arm before we trade Freddie Freeman. It is not happening.”

[G-Snarls]

So much for that

[jays4life19]

Freddie Freeman for D.J Davis. That should get John Coppolella to change his stance.

Report: Marlins not

shopping Jose Fernandez

 

http://www.rotoworld.com/images/headshots/MLB/6744.jpg

 

 

 

Joe Frisaro of MLB.com hears from two "highly-placed sources" that the

Marlins are not shopping Jose Fernandez nor is he being discussed to be

shopped.

 

 

Craig Mish of Sirius XM and 790 The Ticket in Miami reported

earlier in the day Tuesday that there's "growing sentiment" around baseball and

internally with the Marlins that Fernandez will be traded this winter. Frisaro

hears otherwise, but there's always the chance that something could change.

Marlins president David Samson recently said that Fernandez turned down a

contract extension, which is no surprise given that Scott Boras is his agent.

It's worth noting that the Marlins are feuding with Boras, not only about

Fernandez's innings limit for 2016, but also their handling of Marcell Ozuna. It

seems likely that Fernandez will be traded at some point, even if it isn't this

winter. The 23-year-old is under team control through 2018.

lol, wow. good catch

 

he also conveniently ignores any value for Asuaje and Allen and assumes it is negligible. Also, doesn't consider Kimbrel's talent vs salary at all (how much Kimbrel projected to actually be "worth" now and last year).
