God Shapiro, sign a minor leaguer, trade a low A non prospect or Anything so we don't have to read 4 f***ing pages of opinions on who is the hottest Players

According to MLBTR it is Adam warren and a PTBNL

i really don't expect JB and EE to sign that cheap. Closer to 4/80 than 4/56 Edit unless they have a bad season which i don't expect.

Never mentioned their revenue. Just what the cost would be in Canadian dollars.

If the Canadian dollar stays the same that contract is 288 million.

Anyone see a decent bull pen arm target we could grab in the rule 5 draft.

i took heat suggesting we may have to non tender Revere if we couldn't trade him. One guy put me on ignore. LOL That of course was before we filled our rotation with 4s and 5s. Now that we are planning to win by scoring 6 runs a game I think we need to keep Revere. Saunders and Thole are obvious

Any 10 year deal even for a young guy like Heyward is insanely stupid. Pujols, and Cano are just the latest.

There was no Meh option so i had to take the NO route. IF Searage really did something and he is the best pitching coach in baseball so this may turn out better than I think. I know we have the best lineup in baseball but you need pitching in the playoffs and after Stroman it is a gamble. Loved the Tigers deal with Zimmerman and wish we had done that deal instead.

Everything you say is true and if the Canadian dollar was even 90 cents i would agree Rogers would spend but 140 mil US is somewhere around 180 mil. So spending 140 mil is very fair.

wtf

Think it around 16.2 left assuming the 140 number. That reply was to someone who wanted Hutch, Osuna and Sanchez in AAA. We have far and above the best lineup in baseball but as Shapiro points out our depth is very lean . I actually think positional depth isn't bad but the pitching depth is very barren. I want/covet a # 2 starter to fill out the rotation which would eat up the 16.2 left and more. Then I would like an arm or two for the bull pen. That obviously will be darn hard to do. AA did his job as instructed by his boss, get the team to the playoffs. The cost however was most of our minor league pitching depth. If Shapiro can work some magic and get us a good pitching staff I'll tip my cap but he isn't some miracle worker sent down from the heavens. While I agree he was better than the others it isn't like we just got Friedman or Epstein

I would love to see Osuna and Sanchez in AAA starting but that pen is ugly. Still it is much easier to get lucky with pen arms than starters. Fill Buffalo with a bunch of Radhames Liz types and sign one FA BP arm. Liz is definitley a guy I target

That is exactly what it was.

Your reading me wrong . The position player lineup is far and away the best in the majors . The defense is well above average and I believe we have enough position player depth as long as Travis comes back healthy. Pompey, Collabello, and Goins is pretty good depth. I,m just moaning and groaning about ALWAYS lacking pitching. It is going to be very interesting to see how Shapiro fixes this . Opening one hole to fill another doesn't do it but I do understand the Chavez trade as I didn't see Hendricks as a starter. I would love to see us signing some AAA depth pitching and I do see us taking a flyer on a rule 5 draft BP arm.
