Don't take Schultz out at all. If it goes 25 innings, I want to see Schultz still in there.

These guys overperforming (Barney, Zeke), sure come back to earth when the chips are down.

Atta boy, Barns

Gimenez sure can block a ball

And that shouldn't have been

Ha. That was a strike

He would've given up at least another run and this game would already be over

f***ing Schultz. You lucky POS.

Let's hope.

If we don't win it here it's over, cause Bo is getting pounded next inning

He takes a walk like a serious mother f***er

Hearing that MLB had voided the contracts of 5 Red Sox signees in 2015 due to the team overspending and will not be allowed to sign anyone in 2016? Or something along those lines. Didn't have a chance to look into the details, but LOL at the BoSox.

As long as it's someone I don't have on ignore who gives a s***.

He's probably not a 12+K guy...and he's probably not a 5+K guy either.

Between 1 and 26 weeks.

Smoral's like that girl in high school that you thought was out of your league, then she ends up agreeing to go out with you... at which point you see that she's just a bitch and is making your life a living hell.

I'm not a football fan, but even I know the Cleveland Browns are a joke.

$7.8M cap hit until he's 41. And Weber's best days are behind him. This was not a good move for Montreal IMO.

Most of the people I know were hopeful, but knew it was a long shot. I'm glad Stammer didn't sign in TO. I think trying to rush what they're doing would've been a mistake. Keep adding young, controllable, generally inexpensive talent.

It won't be that much better anywhere else either. And maybe he likes it in Florida and it's not all about the $$$ for him.

...was curious what they say about Cleveland. Sounds like the Shapiro era is not going to be good for the International side of things. Cleveland Indians The Indians are in transition mode internationally. After Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins left Cleveland to run the Blue Jays, Indians president Chris Antonetti and Latin American director Ramon Pena, who had run the team’s Latin American scouting the past six years, agreed to part ways in January. To replace Pena, the Indians promoted Koby Perez, who had been an international crosschecker for the team since November 2013 and previously scouted international players for the Phillies. The rest of the scouting staff remains intact, but the change signals a new approach. It also means the Indians got off to a relatively late start trying to lock down players for 2016, but they might still come away with some of the top talent this year. As ridiculous as it sounds to call a 16-year-old a “late bloomer,” Dominican shortstop Marcos Gonzalez started showing better tools later in the scouting process and has performed well against live pitching. He’s linked to the Indians and could be a bargain. What will happen with Dominican righthander Yefri Del Rosario is less certain—he might not even sign on July 2—but the Indians are one of the favorites to get him. Two other players tied to the Indians for low six-figure bonuses are Nehemias Celestin, a power-hitting Dominican third baseman, and Gaspar Palacios, a shortstop from Colombia.

We got plenty. Just can't spend it all on one place like we did last year.

Toronto Blue Jays Spending more than 15 percent over your bonus pool triggers the maximum penalty, which is the inability to sign any international players subject to the pools for more than $300,000 for two years. When teams go over, that’s typically what they do, but the Blue Jays exceeded their pool by just a hair under 15 percent, basically just to sign Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for $3.9 million. The penalty for going over your pool by 10-15 percent is a one-year ban on signings of at least $300,000, so unlike the Dodgers and Cubs, the Blue Jays will be back without restrictions in 2017-18. For this year, though, the Blue Jays are under the penalty, and it’s not clear yet who they’re targeting in their first July 2 with Sandy Rosario in charge. AND AS A CONTRAST TO THAT Atlanta Braves Between special assistant Gordon Blakeley, international director Marc Russo and Latin American scouting director Mike Silvestri, the Braves have three highly respected scouts at the helm of what should be a huge year for the organization internationally. The Braves decided early on that they were going to blast past their international bonus pool this year, with a spending plan that should look comparable to what the Yankees did in 2014-15 when Blakeley was with New York. That decision to be aggressive early on looks like it will allow them to capitalize on securing the top talent on the board, Venezuelan shortstop Kevin Maitan. Their proactive scouting also should get them Venezuelan Abrahan Gutierrez, who is expected to be the second-highest paid player from that country this year. Other seven-figure targets include Dominican shortstop Yunior Severino (No. 8), Venezuelan shortstop Livan Soto (No. 16), Dominican shortstop Yenci Pena (No. 32) and Dominican righthander Juan Contreras (No. 41). At one point, it looked like they might also sign Dominican righthander Yefri Del Rosario (No. 26), though it’s not clear yet where Del Rosario will end up. And that’s just the first wave. Dominican outfielder Joel Reyes, Colombian righthander Guillermo Zuniga and Venezuelan outfielder Antonio Sucre are all players expected to sign six-figure deals for the Braves. Expect plenty more to come in that group, both on July 2 and deeper into the year.

Factoring in taxes, $8.5M in Florida is like $10.5M in Toronto.
