Astros, Dodgers Discussing Andrew Miller With Yankees By Jeff Todd | December 9, 2015 at 11:46am CST The Astros and Dodgers are showing interest in Yankees lefty Andrew Miller, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports on Twitter. Those clubs have long seemed like possible fits, but the involvement of the latter is particularly notable given that the Dodgers had been lined up to acquire Aroldis Chapman from the Reds before his disturbing domestic violence allegations emerged. Both Houston and L.A. were heavily involved in pursuing Miller last winter, with the Astros said to have made him the largest offer. But Miller chose New York, in part for family reasons, and signed a four-year, $36MM pact that includes equal, $9MM annual salaries. Just one year into that contract, the remaining commitment looks quite appealing. Miller put up another outstanding season, throwing 61 2/3 frames of 2.04 ERA ball and racking up 14.6 K/9 against 2.9 BB/9. Those numbers are nearly exact matches for his breakout 2014 campaign, and there’s little question that he’d command an even larger commitment were he back on the open market this winter.

Orioles have offered Chris Davis 150M over 7 years

AA was just way less specific with what he was up to and thinking

Davidi: Futures of Encarnacion, Bautista key in determining Blue Jays’ window http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/futures-of-encarnacion-bautista-key-in-determining-blue-jays-window/

Until his contract demands made public today I would have thought Edwin wanted to stay here and would block any trade Now I'm not so sure...

We don't have another 20M plus of payroll to play with

Exactly Unless you're going to trade Edwin And even then...

Cha cha

No I put zero stock in this

Seriously?!?!?!

Do the Red Sox really think they can afford to trade away a starter???

It just might be... Keep Bautista, Colabello, Smoak

Trade 4 Farrell

Suck it Farrell

Ortiz -> EE would be nice move by the Sox

NASHVILLE — The Red Sox likely will be keeping a close eye on Edwin Encarnacion news the next few months. According to multiple major league sources, Encarnacion will commit to becoming a free agent if no extension is worked out with the Blue Jays by the end of spring training. This is notable for the Red Sox since sources have suggested there would be significant mutual interest between the first baseman/designated hitter and the Sox if Encarnacion did become a free agent following the 2016 season. He was a favorite of Sox manager John Farrell when both were in Toronto. Encarnacion, who turns 33 in January, potentially could slide in to replace David Ortiz at the designated hitter position, depending on how Hanley Ramirez progresses at first base. The representatives for Encarnacion — who will make $10 million in 2016, the final year of what has become a four-year deal — will meet with the Blue Jays at the winter meetings over the next few days to discuss the slugger’s contract status. The Blue Jays are also facing the prospects of another one of their foundation players, Jose Bautista, hitting free agency after the ’16 season. Encarnacion has the ninth-best OPS (.912) in the major leagues over the past three seasons, with the third-most home runs (109). Last season, he hit 39 homers with a .929 OPS.

Snap!

Yeah. We have a couple more solid years with this core. I'll just enjoy it while it lasts.

Most striking thing looking atbthe table? This team is kinda old.

Goins projects as replacement level. Not a suprise either.

I'm tired of hearing about this Yes, he might have signed here if we'd beaten the Red Sox offer However, there was no way we were going to give him that and I'm glad we didn't Let's move on
