So people are whining before the details are announced? The range of possible costs goes from like top prospect + 20M to shitbag minor league depth + 5M.
Pompey looks like he's going to hit like Kevin Pillar, and I don't think his defence is good enough for that to play on a corner. Upton looks like he can bring a league average bat and plus defense to a corner spot.
Upton + millions of dollars for a low-level prospect would be very nice. He's good depth this year, pretty good insurance to have around in 2017 with Saunders and Bautista hitting free agency.
Yeah. We've had some disasters where known shitbags bombed, but there weren't really any warning signs that Storen was about to completely implode. Relievers.

Probably one or the other. Apparently they're listening, but not motivated on both.
