Infield Chatter was born out of a desire to create an online environment that would increase the opportunity to tie closer bonds between players and fans. By launching this new social community, Major League baseball players will engage with fans, and each other, on trending topics and shared interests - on and off the field - enabling fans to discover more about the person beneath the baseball cap. Among the more than 60 Major Leaguers already using Infield Chatter to engage with their fans are All-Stars such as David Ortiz,Josh Donaldson, Dee Gordon, Eric Hosmer, Adam Jones and Jake Arrieta. Over the past couple of weeks, social media followers of many of these players received invitations to join them inside the Infield Chatter community. Beginning today, Infield Chatter is open to all fans, 13 years-old and older. Each player has a personal page on Infield Chatter where fans can learn more about that player's interests away from the ballpark. By joining Infield Chatter, fans can see behind the statistics, and find things in common with players. It's a casual environment where all participants are free to share their passions, thoughts and ideas on trending topics – and meet people who share them. "It's exciting to be one of the first players to join Infield Chatter. I plan to check in with fans and talk about my passions outside baseball, including the David Ortiz Children's Fund and cooking with Big Papi's Kitchen," said David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox. "Infield Chatter is awesome. They made it more than just a place to post pictures. I can go on there and talk to fans about the latest music and my favorite artists. It's been fun to find out who everyone is listening to!" adds Dee Gordon of the Miami Marlins. "My personal Infield Chatter page has all this inside information beyond what's on the back of my baseball-card. It's a cool way to connect with fans on a personal level," adds Toronto Blue Jays All-Star and American League MVP, Josh Donaldson. Infield Chatter is hosted on the popular Place (www.Place.xyz) platform, and is available via Web browser and Place's mobile app. Place is a community platform that hosted LittleMonsters.com—the official social community for Lady Gaga—and has expanded to include more than 12,000 communities today. "Players are excited to get the opportunity to work with a platform that makes it easy to have real, unfiltered conversations between celebrities and fans," said Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles. "These are real fans in there who are talking about what matters to them. I like being a part of that by talking about what's important to me." Kansas City Royals Gold Glover Eric Hosmer sums it up best: "The fans are a big reason we do what we do. Having opportunity to uniquely interact with fans is a home run!" "As a former player, I understand how important it is to reinforce and strengthen the connection between the players and fans," said Major League Baseball Players Association Executive Director, Tony Clark. "Infield Chatter takes full advantage of today's emerging technology to allow the players and fans to interact in a space that they're familiar with and about topics they have in common. We're excited about the potential Infield Chatter has to help bolster the popularity of the players and the game itself."

Casey Kotchman to the rescue

This is already being discussed in the offseason roster thread.

And then, there is this http://www.baseballessential.com/news/2015/11/23/source-toronto-far-and-away-david-prices-first-choice/ There has been plenty of speculation as to where star left-handed pitcher David Price will end up in free agency. Teams that have been reported to have interest in Price include the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants and many others. However, they are not Price’s preferred choice. According to a source with direct knowledge of the situation, Price and his agent, Bo McKinnis, have made it clear that playing in Toronto for the Blue Jays is “far and away [Price’s] first choice.” Price loves Toronto and “relishes” the attention he is getting as a superstar, which he may not get elsewhere, making Toronto his top choice, the source said. In free agency, Price is likely to land a contract north of $200 million and the Blue Jays, if they choose to sign Price, can afford him. Price, 30, was acquired by the Blue Jays in a blockbuster trade before the July 31 trade deadline and in only 11 starts in Toronto, he flourished, going 9-1 with a 2.30 ERA and a 87/18 strikeout-to-walk ratio. With both the Detroit Tigers and Blue Jays, Price had one of his best seasons, going 18-5 with a 2.45 ERA and a 225/45 strikeout-to-walk ratio. It’s unclear how far talks with the two sides have gone, but if Price really wants to go to Toronto, the Blue Jays need to make it happen. Having a star pitcher of Price’s caliber at the top-of-the-rotation, combined with the Blue Jays’ offense, makes them a legitimate threat to advance deep in the playoffs yet again. Stay tuned.

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 3m3 minutes ago Blue Jays had strong interest in Jay Bruce at the trade deadline. He can block a trade to Toronto, if they try again this winter. #Reds

O's signed Ji-Man Choi

astonishing! The Yankees “fixate on high strikeout rates, low walk rates and high groundball percentages” for their starting pitchers, the New York Post’s Joel Sherman writes. With this model in mind, Sherman looks at ten pitchers that could be targeted by the Yankees in trade talks, though some will be harder to acquire than others since New York isn’t intending to deal top prospects like Aaron Judge.

Yes Perdomo is eligible Marc Hulet ‏@marchulet Nov 18 Those are, uh, interesting choices. If #bluejays don't protect Angel Perdomo I'm predicting 85% chance he goes...
