  1. Forgot to mention this, apparently Syndegaard may not get to the majors with the Mets:
  2. Especially considering Cherington has limited funds.. and if he doesn't get Lester, he may not get anyone, as agents will drive the price up for Boston for trades and free agents, knowing Boston is desperate.
  3. Buffalo depth more than anything.
  4. Whoa. How are the Cubs and MLB going to handle this? We've seen enough of this in the NFL...
  5. Hopefully Melky turns them down.. he'd be a nightmare for the Mariners playing his games at SafeCo, especially considering his lousy defense.
  6. Which they will likely blow on Scherzer, Lester or Shields..
  7. And yet they won't resign Robertson..
  8. Aren't we forgetting Betances? Now the Jays(or someone else) need to steal Robertson from them.
  9. While Shane Greene might be good for the Tigers.. can the Tigers system get any thinner? They've given up their #1 prospect (Devon Travis to the Blue Jays), #5(Leyba) and #7(Robbie Ray) prospects already this offseason.
  10. Uh... no. De Aza was a non-tender candidate and a terrible defensive outfielder. David Lough is a 4th outfielder at best. And it's unlikely Steve Pearce will repeat his 2014... ask Chris Davis.
  11. Then Baltimore better find some OF help and OBP..
  12. And you wonder why free agents stay away from Baltimore.. Dan Duquette seems powerless against a cheap-ass Peter Angelos, who refuses to spend money to keep free agents.. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/12/orioles-notes-markakis-outfielders-young-miller-hitting-coach.html#disqus_thread And regarding Markakis.. they pulled the same crap they did with Grant Balfour:
  13. Adam Jones is ticked off at the O's letting Cruz and Markakis go: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/adam-jones-not-too-happy-about-nick-markakis-leaving-orioles-001320253.html And the O's promised to boost payroll.. Peter Angelos is being cheap again. O's fans are ticked.. while the Jays and Red Sox (and likely the Yankees) are making upgrades, the O's haven't done a thing! They're looking at a huge drop in the standings next year if they don't get help in the OF and starting rotation.
  14. Tough offseason for the O's..
  15. Jays signed CF Ezequiel Carrera to a minors contract, for Buffalo depth:
  16. True, but his defense is going to have to improve. Kevin Plawecki is expected to be in AAA next year, and is going to push D'Arnaud for the starting job, and projects to hit better than Travis d'Arnaud. Either d'Arnaud needs to improve his throwing and defense, or he will be moved from C.
  17. 2014 Teflon Glove Awards (by CBSSports.com) are out, and former Jay Travis D'Arnaud ranked as worst defensive catcher.. good thing we have Russell Martin here in Toronto now! HanRam ranked as worst SS.. which explains why Boston is putting him in LF, which he will likely be as bad.. look at his awful D at SS and 3B in the past! Sadly, Drew Hutchison made the list.. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/eye-on-baseball/24862616/the-2014-teflon-glove-awards-for-worst-defensive-players-in-mlb
  18. Well, when he continues to struggle in Oakland and likely makes another annual trip to the DL, and frequently whines, Oakland fans will drive him out quickly.
  19. Thanks. And boy, New York is going to need a lot if they want any chance of contending.. and they still need a SS.
  20. Doubt Ackley can play 2B anymore.. plus, he's a major piece for the Mariners.
  21. Does anyone have ESPN Insider? An article about the AL East was written.. all I know is that the Yanks are considered the worst in the AL East: http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/11963210/as-now-new-york-yankees-worst-team-al-east What's it say about the Jays, Red Sox, O's or Rays?
  22. Melky doesn't hit 30-40 HRs though.
  23. I've been in Buffalo all weekend watching the Bills win. And BTW, the Donaldson deal will be a big boost to the Blue Jays, and a huge upgrade over Lawrie, who can't stay healthy.
  24. BTW, it's doubtful the O's could afford to keep Cruz anyway. Including arb raises and $11-12M in benefit costs subject to luxury tax, the O's payroll is pushing close to $130M, with $115.2M projected pre-benefits, and about $127M with them. With Cruz gone, Davis likely gets tendered a contract, and the team likely gets more aggressive on Markakis and increases talks with the Dodgers, as it is uncertain if the O's will be willing to pay and sacrifice a draft pick for Melky Cabrera.
  25. S-Rod to the Pirates for $$ and a PTBNL, Gaby Sanchez DFAd: http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/12/pirates-acquire-sean-rodriguez-designate-gaby-sanchez.html
