Around Baseball 2017

That is a pretty good return for Verlander. The Jays were clearly not going to match that offer in terms of prospects, nevermind whether JV would have waived his ntc to come here, so it was clearly never going to happen.

 

Wonder if the Jays could have gotten something like that from Houston for Happ at the deadline. Maybe not all those guys but at least Perez.

You’re still perfectly welcome to think Odor is a scumbag or whatever, but describing what happened as a sucker punch done in revenge for a batflip is a pretty serious mischaracterization of what went down. Bautista retaliated against the HBP(the actual revenge) with an incredibly late slide aimed at Odor’s back knee(Bautista trying to get revenge against the revenge), and Bautista got in his face afterward and was squaring up when Odor punched him(revenge against Bautista’s revenge).

Astros are gonna get at least $10 million in cash from the Tigers too. Good deal. A pitcher of Verlanders calibre is easily worth ~$20 million a year.

 

Gonna be weird seeing JV in a non-Tigers uniform though. He was so synonymous with that team.

 

Wait till Miggy ends up somewhere else

CC Sabathia being a whiny brat and called out Nunez for bunting when he knows Sabathia can't field well with those wonky knees.

Morales should call out opposing pitchers for throwing him breaking balls next time. Seems like a viable strategy

A pitcher complaining because his opponents decided not to go for an extra base hit. Now I have truly seen it all.

They should bunt on him every at bat until the Yankees do something about it after that.

Downvoted cuz wrong part of Texas. Also he should have made reference to black people looting and fat people falling off of/through cots (Houston is the fattest city in the U.S. last I checked). You guys have such low standards.

[Spanky__99]

Detroit got a prospect haul in the trade, too: Franklin Perez, Daz Cameron, and Jake Rogers.

 

The Tigers certainly did well.

What is this? Between this comment and John's homophobic, transphobic and misogynist comment about Aaron Sanchez having "lady fingers" this alleged very progressive poster is completely out of control. He obviously has extreme racist beliefs about pitchers. Would he say a white pitcher has lady fingers? Or is more suitable for a watermelon eating contest?

 

That's it. I'm just so triggered right now. Either ban this poster for life or prepare for another attack from my Antifa, commie, feminazi friends that lasts for three days and watch the Jays get swept during that time without having an outlet to express your disappointment. UGH!!!! I'm so upset I just don't know what to do with myself right now.
