Trevor Cahill had offers from #Pirates,#BlueJays,#Reds,#Rangers, but wanted to be starter again, and will sign 1-year, $1.75M deal w #Padres

MBL Network has exclusive broadcasting right in the States, so possibly?
Sportsnet does in Canada.
Either way, /r/MLBstreams will almost certainly have good links.
How can any Canadian not love the WBC after the bench clearing brawl against the dirty Mexicans?
The tournament is wildly entertaining. You people clearly have never watched it.
RUSSELL MARTIN PLAYING SHORTSTOP IS GOOD AND AWESOME AND IS A STANDALONE REASON TO TUNE IN
We also have Freedie f***ing Freeman this year, apparently. C'mon.
With the February cut-down coming up at some point in February, friendly reminder that we now have personal trade blocks on the spreadsheet!
A great way to facilitate action is to make a personal trade block. Just make a Google Doc that only you can edit and send the link to me or z3r0s and we'll add it to our DDL spreadsheet.
Many of the recent trades have been facilitated by trade blocks.
More importantly, Texas' rotation is more wide open with s*** bags like Cashner, Perez, Chi Chi presenting easy competition for Ross.
Toronto has a flush five man rotation and if it's healthy, it would be hard to bump any of them for a semi-rehabbing Tyson Ross that needs to be handled with kids' gloves.
It's a pillow year for him so he just wants to get as many starts as possible and prove he's healthy.
The guys who run NEIFI always do stuff like this and then tweet the results. They do it all in-house though, with black box methodology (that is probably trash.)

If you have the underlying skills I imagine it would be relative easy to just scrape BREF and Fangraphs for Steamer projections and contract status, and then do some sort of simple age adjustments for future years, turn every asset into a $ value and compare.
Do you at least have a wife, house, and/or child(ren) so you can feel like a mature, fulfilled, and productive participant in nuclear society as you enter this disappointing stage of your life?
