But instead they traded Buhner. Needless to say, Frank Costanza was NOT happy.

Yup, same shit we've seen for the last 25+ years. Yankees can sign or trade for anything they want.

Nah, he knows grammar and punctuation.

Wow, talk about a crazy overreaction. I read this, yet see this...

Maybe the AL Central.

Alright, you've convinced me good sir, offer him $326 million. And then when Lozano says "well we want 400" , then we'll sit here and speculate and wig out for another 6 weeks anyways. ? (And before people respond with insanity, I'm kidding)

I get that. But if we're talking $50+ million, that's a lot of money, especially for a team that again, has a budget. That's the CF we need, that's the other arm in the rotation we could use. And to respond to Special K's comment, none of those caviar teams are bidding here. We're bidding against ourselves or another "deplorables" like the Padres or Phillies. If the Yankees were in it and willing to go deep, then yeah, if we really want Manny that bad, you go with desperation money.

All I can say is I'm glad you're not in the room. It's a business, you don't pay more than the market dictates, especially when you don't have an open checkbook.

Rosenthal wrote a fun piece on the Orioles scouting of Mike Mussina on the athletic. Farmer plays a key role in the process.. https://theathletic.com/779539/2019/01/22/rosenthal-how-one-extra-reluctant-scouting-trip-landed-mike-mussina-on-the-orioles/

He played more left than center last season so maybe they classify him there? EDIT: Yup That's gonna be a goofy show. 3 of the best guys listed there are primarily DH (JD Mart, Davis, Stanton)

Dammit Hector, don't jerk us around!

Considering Engel had a .589 OPS against lefties in 2018, probably would be better off bringing on someone that can be a productive platoon partner.

So does Engel.

It is, Athletic is sports content heaven.

Yeah I think as the team gets better so will he. It's not easy to keep your audience enthralled when you're covering a dumpster fire.

Let's also just continue to ignore that he can't play in field at all. He makes Schwarber look like Clemente with a glove.

For anyone who haven't seen, here are some of lists...

I mostly want this to happen so we can start a fan club called the "Joc Flock".

Yup, about all the article includes about Joc. 90% of it is about Gray.

Their pitching coach was Gray's pitching coach in college.

Go ahead and ask him, the beauty of Twitter my friend.

Again, believe it or not, he does have connections. I think the fact that multiple national reporters ran with it too gives him at least some cred.

I kind of agree, but at the same time, Peggy Kusinski has a crapton of contacts.
