WEEI’s Rob Bradford reports that Nationals closer Jonathan Papelbon has filed a grievance against the Nationals for failing to pay his salary when the right-hander was suspended for the final four games of the 2015 regular season. Papelbon was involved in a dugout altercation with teammate and outfielder Bryce Harper.

 

 

Papelbon’s argument is that there was no precedent for a player’s salary to be withheld during a team-issued suspension. A date for a hearing has not yet been set.

 

 

The Nationals are shopping Papelbon as well as bullpen mate Drew Storen at the Winter Meetings. The club acquired him ahead of the trade deadline in July from the Phillies.

LOL at the Chris Davis Rumours.

 

What rumours?

Kuma to the Dodgers - 3 year deal.

I'm thinking Papelbon probably gets traded for a bucket of balls at this point. He can't have too much value with his contract and his well-known toxic personality. Edited December 7, 2015 by THANOS

I wonder if this hurts Papelbon trade value even more or teams will be looking at the Nats to pay some of his salary to rid themselves of him. Either way the Nats get f***ed.

have the nats pay 7 mil of his salary and take papp on. This team has more than enough veteran leadership to deal with him

I would, pending we didn't have to shell out more than a D level prospect. I would probably do Papelbon + salary relief for Matt Dean.

I would actually want no part of Papelbon, and I generally don't care much about the elusive concept of team chemistry.

Being a net negative within the clubhouse is a lot easier than being a plus plus chemistry guy.

yes, indeed

 

98% of the guys in baseball are good clubhouse guys

Mark Lowe to the Tigers on a 2 year deal

Hopefully it's over 10M, otherwise we should have had him.

They should ask for more.

One of the few players in baseball for whom it would be reasonable to ask for that package.

Dodgers get Chappy

Wowwwwwwwwww. De Leon has to be one of the prospects, right? Chapman-Jansen is just disgusting on so many levels.

[Atothe]

I would become a part time dodgers fan if they put him in the rotation

[HERPDERP]

I don't think either will be happy that their save opportunities will be reduced, but it's not like agents/GMs are dumb and will accept low ball offers in the offseason. I wonder if they'll sign one.

why would they do that?

I know they wouldn't but I can hope and wish

Just wait until they get Cueto

[Dr. Dinger]

Wow, if they get Chapman without giving up JDL -- and obviously Urias and Seager are not involved -- then that would be a huge get.

I hope Peraza is the centerpiece. He suxxx.

[Nafro]

Grant Holmes and Jose Peraza?

[GD]

Has to be Holmes

[HERPDERP]

Players who know Jansen do not believe he would react well if he lost closer’s job with #Dodgers set to acquire Chapman. Stay tuned.
