Jose Abreu

Remember the article proposing Castro/Schwarber for Sale? Nice to know that Castro's worth is Adam Warren

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 03:30 PM) Per Google, Google Fiber is exploring expansions into LA and Chicago. Of course, this news comes 20 months before I move from Chicago...

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 07:57 PM) Even Bruce Levine doesn't think they had much salary too add this offseason. I just dont see it. These seem to be their major moves of the offseason. I'm absolutely estactic for that because I'm not sure they'll be much better. Glad I was right in saying Castro had no value. But... but... Castro and Schwarber for Sale!

I'm just at a loss for words with this return. Shelby Miller is apparently worth the 2015 #1 overall draft pick, the #40 prospect in baseball, and a speedy, .300+ hitter who is elite defensively (3.3 fWAR/5.3 bWAR). Chris Sale must be worth Bryant, Schwarber, Russell, Baez, Soler, Alcantara, Vogelbach, Torres, and more!

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 07:46 PM) Weird overpay from the team who traded Eaton and Skaggs for Mark Trumbo (a DH in the field and can't put up an OPS as high as Eaton). I'm somehow not surprised. To be fair, they really had to trade one of Eaton or Pollock, and Eaton's value wasn't too high at the time due to injuries and a slight decline.

Wouldn't Saad's agent have a say with that...?

Yikes... that's an incredibly overpay then. Not happy about this one for Arizona.

Trading Ender opens up PT for Yasmany Tomas, though.

Swanson and Inciarte is an overpay for Miller IMO.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 07:16 PM) Baez? Alcantara? Coghlan? Am I missing something? Trading Baez, Coghlan is an OF, but La Stella... I'm confused as well.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 06:26 PM) So Diamonbacks are going to have Grienke Corbin Leake Maeda Bradley That's a great rotation in the NL. Or will they?? (Reference to the Shelby Miller trade)

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:10 PM) Did United drop their sponsorship or are they just updating the OF sign? Nope, the United sign is actually outside of the picture, to the right.

Yikes.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 03:46 PM) will something happen already!? I am bored Yeah, this is nothing compared to last year. But maybe that's a good thing.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 02:53 PM) It goes like this: -Bowman calls Saad to offer him $5m a year -Saad is fishing but his dad answers -Saad's dad said that's a lowball offer and to make it work they should trade Kane -Bowman says "that's not happening" and hangs up -Saad comes in, talks to his dad and calls Bowman back to accept -Bowman says "sorry you're on your way to Columbus already" All that for $1m extra annually Did that really happen...? Wow.

Some of it must also be the proximity to Japan.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) Anderson, Rodon, Erik Johnson, Sanchize and two lower level prospects. We then sign Johan. Bring Fullmer up early. Sale Fernandez Q Fulmer Santana I caught a chub If the Marlins accepted that then their fans would revolt... I hope the trade proposal is sarcastic

We're not trading for Fernandez. We don't have enough for him anyway, unless we counterintuitively traded Sale, or included Abreu. This thread was made to discuss the other teams trading for Fernandez, since PHT now includes general rumors.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 12:15 PM) Nope. Arenado is really good for Colorado and I like that he is a strong defender, but I don't think his bat would be superstar level outside of Coors and if I'm dropping those 4 guys, 3 of which might be in the top 100 prospects overall, I need a superstar. Arenado hit more home runs on the road than at home in 2015.

I'm not used to PHT being for general rumors yet. I thought this was about the Sox at first and got excited.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 10:21 AM) No goals since November 19, 3 points since November 19, no points in his last 4 games. I guess his dad was wrong What did his dad say?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 11:54 AM) Well last time we had a Japanese player on our roster we won the World Series. Do it. Didn't know we won the WS in 2012.

Weird trade.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 09:32 AM) $46 for Cabrera, $25 for Laroche, $15 for Duke...starts to add up. Your figures are a bit off (I think it's 42/26/15), but the contracts of Melky and Duke aren't bad.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 09:26 AM) Hahn on the phone: "Bag of balls?... No?..." "How about we send you the bag?... Still no?" "Man, you drive a hard bargain... Okay, you get free sundaes in helmets for a year and two bags of balls..." "What? Three bags of balls? Let me call my manager..." "KENNY!" Pretty much!
