Jose Abreu

A 10-day DL? Interesting, although it will take some getting used to

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Nov 30, 2016 -> 09:43 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 2m2 minutes ago Team that loses QO free agent will get pick only if player signs contract of $50M+. Pick it gets will depend upon that team’s market size. That seems... controversial

Lol, this doesn't change the whole "Obama is currently working on a deal to become a minority owner" scoop, as if he isn't currently in office...

No wonder they're non-tendering Carter.

Brewers sign Eric Thames 3/15

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 12:18 PM) Sale will be traded in approximately 30,000 minutes. So Friday, 12/16. Not a bad guess.

I can see the Rangers getting in on a Sale trade. Sale, Abreu, and Lawrie (if they want him) for Odor, Mazara, Mendez, Taveras, and maybe Gallo

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 09:31 AM) The more I've thought about this maybe LA would take Nate Jones for Puig. I would definitely take the chance on Puig if it was just Jones. Everybody seems to think Puig is poison. Maybe you wouldn't have to give up a Robertson to acquire him. lol

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 27, 2016 -> 07:35 PM) Looks like the topic starters credibility just went nose diving ? Hey. maybe this means the Red Sox are indeed still in on Sale!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 27, 2016 -> 06:56 PM) Might want to change the thread title, because this seems like complete bulls*** IMO. ^ I came here expecting actual news or discussion but just got a bunch of random political opinions

iPhone 8 rumors already swirling. My contract is up but I'm gonna wait out for the 8 rather than get the 7.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 21, 2016 -> 08:23 PM) What? Homophobia is not gender specific. By law, in America at least, they committed sexual assault. I don't know the law in DR but we'll see if the laughing victim presses charges on his friends. What I meant is that it doesn't matter that they're all the same gender. It's still sexual assault.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 21, 2016 -> 03:49 PM) These guys are going to be so heckled the rest of their careers. And they deserve it.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 21, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) There's a saying in baseball clubhouses, "Don't shower with the Dominicans." They don't have the homophobic society America does and they like to mess around. Homophobic? Gender is irrelevant here, these players committed sexual assault.

Jeff PassanVerified account ‏@JeffPassan Sale, Quintana, Frazier and Robertson fits what the Dodgers need. And White Sox like Bellinger, Verdugo, DeLeon, Calhoun and Yasiel Puig.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 09:50 PM) Honestly it hasn't even been Jerry being cheap, we have a decent payroll and look what happened with Heyward and gordon. The issue is that the players we have signed and traded for have commonly underachieved and we can't develop anything but pitchers in our minor leagues. A lot of this was also Jerry being cheap. Example- we didn't pony up for Cespedes, we signed scrap heap guys like Jackson, Latos, and Rollins, and well, yeah.

Has my (ATL) trade for Arrieta been approved by the league?

Rickolas, I'd love to trade for Sale. I can offer Kevin Maitan+.

Arrieta is in a Braves uniform, what a day! Anyone looking to sell offensive juggernauts should hit me up. I have a particularly interesting 16 year old prospect to discuss.. JC

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 10:14 AM) Retro gaming stuff can go for insane amounts of money. People paying a few hundred dollars for rare NES cartridges, $100+ for Gamecube composite video cables, etc. Just nuts. I paid $99 for a used PS2.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 10:16 AM) Ian Anderson, Sean Newcomb, and Patrick Weigel. I'll give you Arrieta and Duane Underwood. deal JC

If the Braves won't offer Swanson, I doubt they can acquire Sale without a 3rd team.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 09:55 AM) Mike, We won the World Series. We aren't giving Jake Arrieta a 7 year deal because of the contracts we are going to sign in the future. We have enough offense and I think we have the prospects to acquire another pitcher on the level of Arrieta with some of those pieces. And we just won the world series, and our fans will get over trading Jake Arrieta. How better to prove your point to Mike than by accepting Anderson and Newcomb for Arrieta and Underwood? JC

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 09:32 AM) How would that make sense for the Braves John? Arrieta is a one year rental and you should be looking for assets under longer term control than one year with your rebuilding team -Rizzo We want to compete this year, and we've proven that with our Colon and Dickey signings, along with our heavy interest in Sale/Archer. We're all in. JC

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 09:29 AM) Give me Anderson and Sean Newcomb. Throw in Ian Happ and you have a deal.
