    Yeah the Marlins were after pitching prospects, and got 3 plus Sierra. If they are high on him and Alcantara then they're likely pretty happy. It's arguably better than what they got for Stanton - though I wouldn't be surprised to see them flip Starlin Castro for more prospects.

    Mike Bolsinger signed in Japan. He won’t be missed by me!
  3. Bobthe4th
    Yeah I agree.

    I’d be surprised if Shatkins would do that deal TBH. Although it’s fair value, Yelich doesn’t turn us into a lock for the playoffs.

    Sanchez testing out his fingernail:

    I love that the offseason is finally getting interesting! Stanton, Ohtani and the Marlins have opened the floodgates. Nats trying to put together the best rotation in the majors:

    Hope this isn’t just wishful thinking:
  8. Bobthe4th
    Yeah it’s bollocks:

    That's a great signing for the Twins, even if he ends up missing the whole of 2018.

    Sabathia has indicated that his preference would be to stay a Yankee. So for the Jays to sign him, I'd say it'll probably take a 2 year deal.
  11. Bobthe4th
    You mean the other way round?
  12. Bobthe4th
    One factor could be does JD want to stay. If I was him, I'd be reluctant to sign an extension this offseason without knowing how good the team is going to be. However, he may prioritise money instead, and an extension now insures against him having another injury marred season, and his free agent earning potential being reduced.
  13. Bobthe4th
    Yup, plus hopefully at least 2 or 3 of Gurriel, Alford, Hernandez, Urena, Smith Jr, Tellez et al have established themselves.

    At this point, isn't Ramirez a bust? He was outrighted from the 40 man last month.
  15. Bobthe4th
    Haha, spot on!
  16. Bobthe4th
    I personally would trade JD now if we aren't signing him to an extension, but I don't believe trading him necessarily has to indicate a full rebuild. If we got a passable 3B back plus at least one MLB ready prospect, it would give us time to see if there is grounds for optimism with the rest of the team and prospects.
  17. Bobthe4th
    Full rebuild, low attendances, Rogers selling = hello to the Montreal Blue Jays. I'm joking, but a full rebuild is neither risk free nor a guarantee of future success. I still think too many people on here are too pessimistic re the short to mid term. If we get to the trade deadline and we're no better than the 2017 season, then that's when a real decision needs to be made IMO.

    Plus Red Sox will see Stanton as the escalation of an arms race and will want to respond.
  19. Bobthe4th
    Red Sox could easily sign Martinez and Hosmer to absurd contracts. Short term it’ll improve them, but they’ll soon regret it.
  20. Bobthe4th
    Agree, hope he stays injury free. Multiple injury hit seasons, signs a minor league deal with the Dodgers and turns that into a great season and a big payday. The life of a reliever!

    Haha, Paul Beeston was on the committee: “This year's committee consisted of Hall of Famers George Brett, Rod Carew, Bobby Cox, Dennis Eckersley, John Schuerholz, Don Sutton, Dave Winfield and Robin Yount; major league executives Sandy Alderson (Mets), Paul Beeston (Blue Jays), Bob Castellini (Reds), Bill DeWitt (Cardinals) and David Glass (Royals); and veteran media members/historians Bob Elliott, Steve Hirdt and Jayson Stark.”
