If he looks good in ST I'd give Pompey a solid 6 week stint in the majors to start the season I just lack confidence that he'll stick

2016 Pompey: .270/.349/.353 (OPS .702) over 93 games in AAA Not much XB/HR power for a corner OF Even Pillar was a much better AAA hitter than that Meh

Sportsnet: BRAYDON HOLMYARD JANUARY 19, 2017, 11:27 AM The direction of the Toronto Blue Jays was unclear when superstar Edwin Encarnacion signed with the Cleveland Indians and it appeared Jose Bautista‘s days in Toronto were over. To the surprise of many, Bautista and the Blue Jays agreed on a one-year deal, but general manager Ross Atkins says that Bautista was always on the team’s radar. “Jose was a clear target for us,” Atkins said at Bautista’s introductory press conference, making it clear that there was always mutual interest between the parties and Bautista was heavily involved in the negotiation process. “It was clear from day one, it was clear from last year he wanted to stay,” Atkins said. “He said it and he meant it.” Bringing back Bautista is an indication that the Blue Jays are committed to chasing another playoff appearance. "A rebuild is not on our horizon," Atkins said, adding that the team wants to maximize how much they can win now while continuing to build upon the farm system, but they are "absolutely" going for it. Ben Nicholson-Smith ✔ @bnicholsonsmith Ross Atkins on Jose Bautista: "I think it's more likely that he has the 2015 season than he has the 2016 season" #BlueJays 11:44 AM - 19 Jan 2017 Bautista is coming off a down season in 2016, where he was on the disabled list twice and played through some nagging injuries. According to the general manager, Bautista is in great health heading into spring training. "The physical with him was similar to earlier in his career," Atkins said. "He's had a complete recovery from those injuries and we have a lot of confidence he is in very good position physically." Bautista was vocal about his desire to stay in Toronto, and reportedly turned down more lucrative offers to re-sign with the Blue Jays. The two parties agreed on a one-year deal worth $18 million with a $17 million mutual option for 2018 and a $500K buy-out, as well as a $20 million vesting option in 2020.

Philles physical is easier than the Orioles physical Just had to jump over a series of water sprinklers

Brewers To Sign Neftali Feliz By Steve Adams | January 19, 2017 at 11:20am CDT The Brewers have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with free-agent right-hander Neftali Feliz, reports Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports (Twitter links). Feliz is expected to close for Milwaukee and will be guaranteed $5.35MM, per Passan. His contract also contains incentives, which can boost the value of the deal to $6.85MM. Feliz was first rumored to be working toward a deal with Milwaukee over the weekend.

Good depth Short on impact players

Trade 4 Freeman #FreeFreddieFreeman

And no one worth spending it on

Atkins doing an interview now

How much of an over pay is this?? Edit: s***, I forgot the Reds claimed Straily off waivers so got him for free. While he was still making league minimum. LMAO Edit 2: And he managed a 14-8 record while FIP'ing almost 5. LMAO even harder that his W-L record probably helped Cincinatti in negotiations

Trade Marlins get Straily Reds get Castillo, Brice and White

Good God, we have another Dogg/Zee on our hands WITAF

Still hoping Dombrowski finds a way to ruin the Red Sox But that seems hard to do right now

Gose for Travis was such a great trade

Gose would be more useful if teams had gotten 26 man rosters in the new CBA

Yay Thank God Raines finally got in

JP once said Zaun "hung around" despite "an inferior skill set" Zaun 17.8M career earnings and is still employed in baseball Zaun wins

Yeah Just enjoy the next few cheap years he provides themn move on

Calhoun is a better hitter than I realized 115 wRC+ career Points are well taken

Pillar just turned 28 this month and Kalhoun is actually older

Would anyone want to do a similar deal for Pillar?
