Southpaw once with the Marlins - was a rookie in 2009 I believe.

During the first offseason in the FC league, Grant made a trade with someone and afterwards that deal was confirmed, the manager said they'd drop Sean West from their roster to make room in order for the trade to be processed and Grant was like "well if he's dropping Sean West, I'd like to take him" and Grant kept going on and on about it which started a huge argument and lead him to be kicked out of the league. Grant basically was kicked out of the league over Sean West lol.

My team got off to an awful start - hit hard with injuries, player disappointments etc. I made a bunch of moves far ahead of the deadline to shake things up - the main one which kickstarted things was trading Myers + Profar + Chacin for Posey + Hutchison. I ended up finishing in 7th during the regular season, which looked nearly impossible earlier on in April/May. My team had a lot of success down the stretch, and I'm looking forward to the start of next year! I'm happy with the main guys I have on my roster and I feel with adding another key piece or two my team could take that next step.

Don't pull a Grant lol.
-
Couldn't agree more.
-
9.5 M for a below average middle reliever.
-
I'd like to add some more San Jose Sharks. Only have Matt Nieto, which isn't enough.
-
Rafael Soriano and Casey Janssen are available for those teams who have space and who are looking to make a profit once the season rolls around. Also, will take offers on Brad Boxberger.
-
Does mac ever post on this board? He never made the transition haha.
-
Casey Janssen and/or Rafael Soriano are available. Also, I'll look/counter at your bball offer later this evening. Swamped the past two days.
-
Yeah using the net on console isn't the greatest. When you have to open attached documents etc, it doesn't load.
-
Sorry should I have been more specific - most years given to a FA.
-
Zajac is a nice centre to have - he can be a 50-60 pt player as he's shown in the past and he'll put up nice all-around numbers. I was a huge fan back in 2009 and 2010 - those were some really good years.
-
Largest free agent signing by AA.
-
Confirmed
-
After the way Kemp has hit in the second half and how he is turning out to be their saviour offensively, no way the Dodgers trade him now especially for that deal you proposed.
-
If there is a team who could take on MB's contract, its the Dodgers. Though I wouldn't just give MB away as a salary dump, so if including him means getting someone like Van Slyke plus saving that money owed on him, it gives the Jays some cash to go after free agents or make other trades.
-
Yeah I figured when I read it on FanGraphs - I said to myself I thought he was making more. Who would you take next season and moving forward - Crawford or Reyes?
-
panthers!!!!!
-
Doubt the Dodgers move any of those pieces for Navarro. I'm sure they'd swap Crawford for Reyes however straight up.
-
I'd rather get Turner and Van Slyke over Gordon - you're getting tremendous value. They likely view Gordon as a young, cheap, controllable middle infielder with blazing speed, which in their eyes is probably more valuable than a guy who had a career year like Turner and a OF bat who crushes LHP.
-
Don't think so either, though he should still be a nice piece and would be a huge upgrade in comparison to what the Jays were rolling out there at second base this season, and doesn't cost much in terms of salary. I'm fine with Guerrero or Turner to be honest; Guerrero has more upside and is younger - whats his defense like though? Turner is probably a safer bet. I think Van Slyke is a must as well - perfect platoon partner with Lind and can play all three outfield positions and first base which is valuable. I don't mind Crawford - I think he'd be a solid replacement for Melky in left and if I recall Crawford always loved hitting at the Rogers Centre. The Jays would have to go out and sign Drew or Cabrera to play SS (Drew preferably). They solve their questions in LF, 2B, DH all with this deal, and replace Reyes at a reasonable cost.
-
If I'm the Dodgers, I'd probably ask for one of the Jays young starters if I moved Gordon. I don't think it makes sense for them to move him in a deal for Reyes - its more of a lateral move and the Dodgers get older and more expensive with Reyes.
-
If the Jays could get Turner and Van Slyke in a deal along with Crawford for Reyes and another piece, that would be sweet. Then go out and sign Stephen Drew or Asdrubal Cabrera to play shortstop. LF Carl Crawford RF Jose Bautista 1B Edwin Encarnacion DH Lind/Van Slyke 3B Brett Lawrie SS Stephen Drew 2B Justin Turner C Dioner Navarro CF Anthony Gose BN Danny Valencia BN Josh Thole BN Maicer Izturis BN Scott Van Slyke That's pretty solid. Obviously I'd try and add a better bench piece or two, and I'd try to upgrade on Navarro/Thole (though not sure it happens). Overall, LF is solved, the Jays add a platoon bat with Lind with huge pop and who could play all three outfield positions, they make a significant upgrade at 2B and replace Reyes and don't lose much value with Drew at SS.
