Russell Martin showed that there are no such things as home country discounts but at least he wouldn't be totally objected to the idea.

 

Actually Captain Canada's been a money guy in the past!

#Phillies have acquired INF prospect C.J. Chatham from Red Sox for a player to be named later, according to team. Vìctor Arano has been DFA’d

[Dick_Pole]

He isn't in for Canada discount seeing as how it went last time, we were connected.

 

It's almost as if your hometown being a 5 hour plane ride away from Toronto doesn't qualify it as a hometown discount candidate!

Are you referring to Micheal Saunders? Captain Canada is Micheal Saunders...

Captain Canada is Stubby Clapp. Everyone else simply falls short.

The San Diego Padres are in agreement on a deal to acquire right-hander Joe Musgrove from the Pittsburgh Pirates, sources tell ESPN.

@JeffPassan

 

The trade for Musgrove is pending medical reviews, per sources, and will be sending a large package of prospects back to the Pirates. Hudson Head, a well-regarded center fielder, is expected to be among the group heading to Pittsburgh.

I really wish we created separate threads for news like this.

 

Also screw the Padres and Mets for ruining this offseason for us (so far).

[wilko]

The Padres aren't f***ing around. Let me guess.. the Jays made a "Very Aggressive" offer.

[RustyTrombone]

f*** the padres. Still gonna lose to the Dodgers

[P2F]

f*** the padres

 

With a rusty trombone!

[Abomination]

Musgrove's curve and slider had a massive jump in movement last year with almost no change in velocity. Interesting.

[BTS]

I respect the Padres for being one of like 3 teams this offseason who have actually behaved like they care about winning games.

Most likely, lol. They were close at the deadline, I'd imagine Cherington was seeking the same package, that includes Kirk.

They are seriously going after the Dodgers, should make for a good race this year.

James Paxton.

[Ray]

More informtion coming in. Apparently it's a 3 team deal with the Mets...?

 

[saskjayfan]

How is it possible for one team to trade for Darvish, Snell and Musgrove in the same off season!

[Spanky__99]

Money and prospects!

[Ray]

And only trade one Top 100 prospect in Patino.

 

Kind of crazy now that I'm saying it out loud.

Darvish was the deal that seemed light to me out of the three. I wish the Jays would have been in on Darvish.

People aren't laughing at Preller now!

[Brownie19]

Prospects Hudson Head, David Bednar, Omar Cruz and Drake Fellows are going back to Pittsburgh.

Padres did well, again.

[Laika]

Padres will regret that one. Musgrove is overrated and Hudson Head is going to be very good.

 

I know the Padres have managed to hold onto many of their very top prospects through all this, other than Patino, but guys like Head and Hunt are very solid spects and with so many names out the door there will be other guys who turn into all stars.

 

Padres have to win now.

 

They are affecting their farm more than people admit. It will take a while to restock the depth.

[G-Snarls]

Darvish was the deal that seemed light to me out of the three. I wish the Jays would have been in on Darvish.

 

Me too. So much.

 

Rays would have wanted Pearson in a Snell trade

 

We could have had Darvish without giving him up
