I'm hoping for David Ortiz myself.
-
I'd be mad if Rasmus and Encarnacion were traded, but other than that, AA needs to wake up and move the rest of these bums. Sick of watching this loser team.
-
Have fun gloating now, but don't come crying on here later when Peavy inevitably blows out his shoulder again.
-
But Peavy always gets hurt, he's been injury-prone for years.
-
From what I'm reading, Red Sox fans generally hate the trade, FWIW. Didn't want to give up Iglesias, worried that they made the Tigers better, a lot of them agree with me that Peavy is overrated, etc.
-
The Rays in particular have usually shelled Peavy IIRC. Am I the only one who thinks Peavy's highly overrated and trading Iglesias will come back to bite Boston in the ass eventually?
-
Peavy is a contract-year-only player and I certainly would hesitate to give up one of my best prospects for him like the Sox are doing.
-
Nobody wants that bum.
-
.....which would work out about as well as the Angels adding Hamilton. God, this front office is a joke.
-
So this is what we've come to: celebrating that AA might try to move two players that nobody wants. Awesome job, AA! It's not like the whole team needs to be sold off for prospects or anything!
-
This. AA is horrible. Overpaying for crap starting pitching, giving up on d'Arnaud in favor of the worst catcher in baseball, cobbling together an extremely imbalanced lineup whose back end struggles to reach replacement level, hiring one of the worst managers in baseball, etc. Now he's just going to stand pat at the deadline instead of selling when it's abundantly clear that this roster sucks and will never win anything. AA is still living off the Vernon Wells trade, which looks more and more like a combination of fluke luck and the Angels' idiocy as opposed to anything AA did by the day.
-
AA will stand pat because he's a dumbass.
-
....and then claims his attempt was better than anything Buster Posey could have done. -
You realize AA and Beeston probably think this is some great team that just got unlucky, right? It's looking like they won't do anything at all.
-
I'd seriously consider being done with the Jays altogether if that happened, LOL.
-
This team is a disgrace.
-
They want to go to San Jose but the Giants are being douchebags about it. Apparently they've forgotten that the A's ceded their right to the San Jose market to them to keep them from moving to Tampa.
-
I don't see how AA can watch this s*** and not realize he needs to sell.
-
Exactly. I'd MUCH rather watch that than have to sit through any more of Bautista whining to umps, JPA talking s*** in the media while being below replacement level, and JJ and Dickey getting shelled.

Here's Your Inside Dirt For the Day

You can thank scumbag Jeff Loria for that, he was too cheap to come to terms on an English-language contract. Loria also couldn't get a stadium deal done - which is probably a good thing in hindsight considering the scam he just pulled in Miami. -
LOL, I misread that as Colby Rasmus for a split second and was ready to rage.

They had plenty of support until the players' strike ruined the Expos' best season ever and the MLB sabotaged the franchise for profit. It's not hard to see why the fans stopped showing up when they were essentially banned from the playoffs in 2003, played a sizeable amount of their "home games" in freaking San Juan, and it was made clear that the Expos were going to be contracted or relocated by 2005. If the Rays moved to Montreal, I have no doubt they would be successful. Montreal is a historic baseball market (not only for the Expos but also because Jackie Robinson played there), and the Rays would be making legit money for the first time ever - and Friedman with money is a scary thought. -
This. The bullpen should be the last thing a team builds up once their talent in the rotation and lineup is set. A last-place team doesn't need good relievers as much as they need prospects.
-
Believe it or not, a rebuild does not have to mean "becoming the new Cubs." Again, this team is in last place with a staggering payroll and a depleted farm. Selling is the only logical thing to do.
