He says he turned down the starting 2B spot from a team because of greater chance to win with Phillies

You mean Bal and Luzardo?

My personal belief is there was a hot market, but their asking price was insane. I said it at the time, but the Reds proposed trade with Lowder, Petty and the two other prospects (not the ridiculous 5 prospect one that was bogus) made me think Getz was asking for way too much.

Not draft eligible yet, but is Drew Burress going to be as special as he seems in college?

Least shocking news of the day is Sox have been interested in him for a long time.

Sox could never afford that

I don’t think they make a trade

They knew of the elbow issues for Cy Bradish for a month, it sounds like

I would say Westburg is totally off limits now

Sounds like Orioles might have been more interested in Luzardo this offseason (which makes a ton of sense)

I can’t imagine the tears that Cubs fans who are also Bears fans would have about going to game in “the hood”

Orioles have known about these injuries for a while. I don’t think it improves the Cease to Baltimore chances very much. Burnes was more likely the insurance policy.

Every time I see Grifol talk, he reminds me of the asinine coach that gets fired before the protagonist coach replaces him in a sports movie

Grifol

Westburg is a necessity for the Orioles now after trading Ortiz and Henderson already having an oblique issue

Sucks to hear, but Bradish and Grayson were two guys I highlighted as huge injury risks this year

Oh silly you for thinking Yoan stays healthy

This is amazing…and I’m fine with it

It also is a ridiculous comment from Getz because it’s not like he signed these defensive upgrades to long-term deals. Guys like Pillar, Maldonado and Dejong will be here for a season (at most).

Yeah, I’m sure it wasn’t the fact they had no money to spend

No

So are hemorrhoids

It’s still the perception though for many casual baseball fans in the suburbs

Didn’t he blow his arm out

He’s been damn good last few years
