had the sox taken coghlan that'd be some egg on their face. to facilitate this (not that it needed facilitating)

For those wondering: Tony Andracki ‏@TonyAndracki23 29s29 seconds ago Theo said Cubs are not making any other moves in the OF (aka no Soler trade coming).

Yikes then AJax could go to Baltimore.

Josh Reddick - free agent in 2017. The A's wont hesitate to move a guy before that FA year

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 30s30 seconds ago #Cubs trade Chris Coghlan to #Athletics for RHP Aaron Brooks.

i once heard Laurence do a 3 minute riff on-air about picking up a pizza at Piece. He seriously talked that whole time about the process of picking it up and the sensations of what he felt opening the box & trying it and everything

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 5m5 minutes ago Question for #Orioles is whether they would give up No. 14 pick for Gallardo if they fear he’s hurt. Fowler also would require loss of pick. Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 5m5 minutes ago Sources: #Orioles concerned with Gallardo’s physical, as @jeffpassan said. Could try to restructure contract or back out entirely.

Could this affect Fowler to Baltimore? It could be the O's only want to go all-in if they can truly go...all-in. Maybe Gallardo's physical is holding up the Fowler contract offer to be officially made.... Roch Kubatko ‏@masnRoch 21m 21 minutes ago Told there's "more work to do" on Gallardo physical. Diagnostic tests. So.....stay tuned #orioles Jeff PassanVerified account ‏@JeffPassan Source: Questions have come up with Yovani Gallardo's physical with Baltimore. Status of deal is unclear. O's notorious medical sticklers.

a word from the used: Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman 12s13 seconds ago Rollins deal makes sense for chisox. Untested Tyler saladino is the other ss option. Rollins a plus off field, too.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 18s19 seconds ago Rollins, per source, rejected 2 teams that offered super-utility jobs and guaranteed deals for more $. Wanted chance to win SS job with CWS.

i too see Rollins as the starting guy. if you're going for it, you play all the higher ceiling cards first and milk it. Saladino is 26 so i dont really see much mystery there. He's a defense-first player, period

for what it's worth, daily dish thinks gallardo's deal might make an O's Fowler signing ...less..likely. Not many are saying that though http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2016/2/20/1107...yovani-gallardo

The revelation that we're in the market for an OF today..is...a real stunner

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 28s28 seconds ago Sources: The expectation of O's is that they will finish deals with both Gallardo and Fowler; Fowler expected to be BAL's right fielder.

Not discussed tons, but can we trade for Bruce AND sign Ajax....and then just bench LaRoche or have him compete for the DH job? Bruce as DH actually would be another hole elimination (and he could fit into the OF mix if needed)

OK Back to rumors http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/jose-re...spension-021616 It’s difficult to imagine Desmond’s price dropping to the point where the Rays could justify forfeiting their first-round pick, No. 13 overall. The White Sox, meanwhile, are more focused on adding an outfielder through free agency or trade, sources say. The Sox, like the Rockies, hold a protected pick, No. 10 overall. They conceivably could sign both Desmond and free-agent outfielder Dexter Fowler and sacrifice their next two selections, currently Nos. 28 and 49. But they also might be content to play Tyler Saladino at short until top prospect Tim Anderson is ready, perhaps later this season.

News: Please happen soon. I beg of you

WAR:What is it followed for?

OOOH also this about the Orioles.. The team’s first choice is to follow the expected signing of free-agent right-hander Yovani Gallardo with the signing of free-agent outfielder Dexter Fowler. But if Fowler joins, say, the White Sox, the Orioles’ backup plan appears to be a trade for Reds right fielder Jay Bruce. It goes on to discuss how the Orioles' backup plan is Bruce and how a trade seems nearly worked out as a Plan B

Rosenthal's latest Reports of the White Sox’s interest in Dodgers right fielder Andre Ethier were overstated. The team, however, is active on multiple fronts; the addition of Fowler or another outfielder would make right fielder Avisail Garcia expendable, and other scenarios surely are in play. Also says the Sox interest in Desmond is overstated. http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/gallard...osenthal-021216
