Names in play, according to sources and reports: Gregorius, going to #Yankees. Greene, going to #Tigers. Ray, going to #DBacks. Others, too.
Makes you wonder if he is confident he can land McCarthy, Liriano or equivalent. Cause no way he's in on Lester or Scherzer and not *all* that likely on Shields although it's possible. One of those earlier guys on a short deal would be phenomenal and we added a LF on the cheap to replace Melky.
Getting Josh Donaldson was like the Christmas present so f'n good that you don't even ask for it cause you don't think you'd ever ever get it and you don't want to be disappointed. LOL
All I want for Christmas is one of:

Yeah winter meetings are fun
Though less so when every other team is making stuff happen and we aren't
That said I do like how AA tries to get some stuff done before the winter meetings start. Some years he does, some years he doesn't of course. This year he sure has.
I'd be happy if he gets one deal pulled off next week - SP, RP or 2B
Relievers can be bought at a later date and he won't be bidding on the biggest money/name guys anyway so I'd like the focus to be on SP and 2B.
