Jimmy Rollins is still pretty good. I like it for the Dodgers if they didn't have to give up much.

The problem is that only a few of these guys are actual journalists who respect the process. Most are clickbait hacks, as intentional wok said.

You're responsible for what YOU post on YOUR feed. Teenage insiders...

He doesn't deserve our attention.

Stupid people on twitter make me head hurt.

Only a few people like Moogy and gruber92 do that. Wade Miley is a good pitcher.

Yes, he's a workhorse #3 starter. A completely serious tweet.

They were apparently asking for young pitching. So I'd figure one of Webster, Johnson, Barnes is included.

Yah think? I don't have any faith in this new Diamondbacks FO. Probably something like Brian Johnson + Christian Vasquez while also getting back Evan Marshall.

Damn Red Sox

Yes. You got yourself a young workhorse #3 in Miley for two loose ends.

Wade Miley is one of my favourite pitchers. He'll sneaky good. I'm nervous the Red Sox are going to steal him here.

Jon Lester is a workhorse #2. If he keeps pitching like he did in 2014, he'll establish true acehood.

LOTS of stuff going down!

They improved their team substantially and could afford the price. Seems like sound logic to me.

Jeferson Mejia is pretty good. I wonder what the D'Backs will do at catcher.

lol I just hate how he (and those who follow him) thinks annoying players and agents with a constant barrage of "tell me stuff!" tweets/texts is purposeful. And like 99% of his tweets/articles are just "here's what Heyman and Rosenthal say." He also writes the worst opinion pieces and tries to make them seem like actual news (i.e., the Greinke thing).

So who is the fifth team supposedly in on Lester? I have a sneaking suspicion that the mystery team will sign him.

CJ Edwards isn't that great or anything. Maybe Tseng and Pierce Johnson. Also, can we stop posting Cotillo rumours as news? Thanks.

Not really. It's not like Upton will give a discount to stay in Texas, he'll want 6/108 or whatever. Profar/Odor, Jackson, Mazara is a crapload of talent. Upton has one fairly expensive year remaining and the Rangers aren't even high on the win curve.

Because the Rangers are going to give up dozens of years of team control of cheap young talent for a year of Upton. Wow @ that offer lol

He was the Twins team leader in RBIs when they sent him down, I remember it being a story. "How could they demote their RBI King?!"

Collabello is REALLY bad lol. It's hard to produce much as a first base type with a 30.9% K% and 57.3% GB%. You'd have to hit pretty much every fly ball out and Collabello doesn't.

Correct about Hammel-Cubs: Angrioter, frenchsoup, Hawkins, jays_fever, JaysRap, Mikeleelop. sAAviour remains in first. Angroiter has jumped to third, is 8 points off the lead. The "Will the Jays select a player in the Rule 5 draft" question will be answered this week, at the end of the Winter Meetings! The Blue Jays total expenditure increased by $1MM with the signing of Justin Smoak.

Yeah that's annoying. I always have a midterm the day of the draft too. Thankfully I'm on a work term so I can enjoy them this week.
