This screams A's, who have interest in Lowrie (for like the 3rd or 4th time lol).

What time does it start?

They've got 6 SP options now.

I kinda figured they would add a bat at DH. Wish they could sell high on Collins in a deal where he is the centerpiece. But I don't think any team believes he can catch.

Agreed. Which means it's not happening.

Because it sounds like it's Olney's own speculation and not actual info.

Yeah seems more like speculation. I'm just saying thats probably unrealistic and you're looking at something lesser.

Agreed.

Add a prospect or two to the deal to make it worth our time.

LMFAO

How do I put this nicely? Fuck no.

I don't know, Betts and Springer are better hitters and are good defenders.

All the low OBP OF who can't play D.

Ryu is the only one I want out of the lefties and only at 3 years max. As the second FA, back-end/depth starter I wouldn't mind Walker, Teheran, Porcello, or Wood (although, all those guys could probably get guaranteed rotation spots on one of the many rebuilding teams).

Thanks Rangers, for putting him on the OD roster 4 years ago costing a year of control...

Crazy that these pitching contracts all seen moveable as long as the guy is healthy. Hint hint hint Jerry Reinsdorf hint hint

At this point, I kinda hope they just add guys in free agency rather than give up talent.

I'm sure they've tried/are trying.

Grandal, Mazara, a couple filler SP and hope to catch lightning in a bottle it seems.

More like the first.

5th*

What a boring winter meetings week so far.

That's actually a good call too.

I'm sure they do but he's clearly not going to panic to the media.

Yeah if you're willing to offer a guy 5 years at 25 mill a year, offer the same salary for 3 years.
