"Need" and "WAR/WINS" in some cases, they go together. We need Wins, and for that you must upgrade some areas. Point 1A: Reduce the PA of the below replacement level players.

jonmorosi Justin Upton's updated no-trade list allows him to block deals to Cubs, Brewers, Indians, and Blue Jays, source says.

Cuban slugger Yasmany Tomas will celebrate his 24th birthday on Friday, and it will surely be a happy one given the lucrative contract on the horizon. Yesterday, agent Jay Alou explained the Phillies’ standing in the Tomas derby, telling reporters including Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com, “There are several teams that I could say are frontrunners, but yes (the Phillies are one of them).” Surprisingly, the Phillies have yet to make a formal offer, but Alou says, “It will all get going soon.” How about the $100MM figure that has been bandied about for Tomas? “I don’t know where that came from, but he’d be happy and I’d be happy,” says Alou. In my September profile of Tomas, I posited a seven-year, $105MM contract. More recently, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports went with eight years and $100MM, an agent who spoke to Heyman said seven years and $93MM, and a GM said eight years, $100MM. Eight years is an interesting call, because that would mean Tomas would be giving up a potential valuable free agent season. Seven would be more aligned with typical MLB service time for a top prospect, who can put in just shy of seven years before reaching free agency if called up a few weeks into the season. Yesterday, Jorge Arangure Jr. had an excellent profile of Tomas for Vice Sports. In it, Arangure said Tomas will likely choose a team from the Phillies, Yankees, Red Sox, Mariners, and Padres, who have all scouted the player several times. Tomas’ Dominican-based trainer Raul Javier, asked when the player would sign, replied, “Very soon.”

Rotation Dickey Stroman Buehrle Hutchison Happ/Estrada Depth Happ/Estrada Redmond Hendricks - Extreme FB pitcher Romero - Bust Nolin - Only 2 IP under his belt. Sanchez - Is he ready to start at MLB Level? Norris - Hurt and Is he ready to start at MLB Level? Graveman - 0 SG so far Trade for Latos!!

A little of both things VMart 2.5 Wins + Goins -0.5 wins = 2 Wins Phillips 2.5 Wins + DH 1 wins = 3.5 Wins

League Of largest Dicks.

Lind + platoon partner = 2/25 spot VMart = 1/25 spot

Cuddyer and Grady are awful defenders. JonHeymanCBS Cuddyer gor $21M for 2 years from #mets What?

WUT? Stay away from him AA!!

You're good hermano, very bueno!!

Cuddyer and Grandy?.........................Poor Lagares.

Next move: CarGo to the Rangers for tons of good prospect and sign Stubbs Stubbs, Blackmon, Dickerson

Mets lost the 15th pick overall 2015 draft Crappy move!!

He's just 18, but the kid is just a dunker and don't like that kind of players (Faried, Griffin, Kemp)

Bruno or Aaron Gordon? Gordon was a horrible pick IMO

Jays real list: Position 1- Valbuena 2- Ackley 3- Denorfia 4- Morse 5- Ellis 6- Callaspo 7- Ludwick 8- DelmonY Bullpen 1- Grilli 2- Meek 3- Carlos Oviedo 4- Stauffer

Ken_Rosenthal Sources: #Mariners interested in Hanley. Some, however, doubt team will make another $100M+ signing. One source says VMart is M's priority.

Burly for Profar?

I spoke with Alex Colome and his cousin last week, they both said to me than Colome could make the rotation this year. Colome's cousin was the guy who told me about Guerrero Jr and the Jays pre-deal.

Earlier this morning, reports indicated that the Mariners are interested in, if not prioritizing Victor Martinez (as well as Hanley Ramirez), which meshes with previous reports that the team will likely show interest. As one of the top free agents on the market, Martinez will likely find his name swirling about the rumor mill, and we’ll keep track of today’s V-Mart talk here… The Blue Jays are now among the teams interested in Martinez, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. Though the team perhaps has a greater need in the infield, Heyman writes that the trade of Adam Lind has opened a door for Martinez to fit into the picture in Toronto. Heyman hears that the Tigers and Mariners are the other two primary suitors in the early stages, noting that Martinez is high on Seattle GM Jack Zduriencik’s wish list. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/11/blue-jays-interested-in-victor-martinez.html
