Squirmin' for Yermin

How is it wasteful? We already have a good staff and offense. It would be like putting new rims on a Mercedes. Don't need to, but still nice.

Predictions: Hendriks - 4 years - 44 million Tommy La Stella - 1 year - 6 million Suzuki - 1 year - 3 million Rodon - 1 year 2.25 million + incentives (i know right....) My guess is SP market is more expensive than we hoped and we can't afford to make another big trade. I honestly wouldn't HATE Rodon, as the bridge to Kopech.

Wrong.. There most likely will be a lockout next year.. This is the one year you DONT want to accept a one year deal

Of course he can get to 100 being in the MLB all year thats not the issue. He could pitch 2 innings each time and get there. The issue is building his arm up to 5 innings, even if he hits the same inning total. Wouldn't you agree they're different?

Love me some Hand.. But we would be very LHP heavy in the bullpen for the playoffs with Hand, Bummer and Crochet.. Still the second best option hands down though

Why no on Hand? He's had one "meh" year in recent memory

Yeah, he is so limited because he can't hit home runs

I do think you can say, hey we want you bad and we'd love to get it done by january 10. If it doesn't we are going to actively pursue other options, and if still not filled, we'd love to have you have that date. We just want to let you know that january 11th we will actively pursue others".. And they would get the message, if they believe you.

Yeah they can't afford both. I'd be happy with either for sure. Hendricks obviously #1. But I'd love a pivot to Hand as I think he is in tier 2 alone

Yeah, didn't impress you vs one team but impressed against all 29 others.. PASS

And not good news for Sox?

fANTASTIC

Apart from the shortened season this year... Grossman has never had a year better than any of Eatons.

Makes the Eaton deal look even better.

Ken Giles is a free agent? WTF.... gimme gimme

Who cares if people think you're him. I think it would be fun to be the "Fake Al's"... In fact... I now announce that I am Al's Cheesy Beef!

Hoping we really hang on to Kelley

If it is, what was so secretive there LOL

Moroney is your only chance. Dude spies on him

Give me Hand for 8 million and Yates for 5 million.

Tim Beckham is black.. unless he did a Michael Jackson switcharoo. Quit making everything about race, its nauseating

Crochet will not be stretched out this year. Lopez is a RP now.

While I love the idea of Gray (far more than 1 year of Lynn).. I would be hesitant of the idea of another large prospect haul to upgrade the position when others (not as good obviously) are available for 10mil or so. I image the trade would include Madrigal/Cease + one of our HS SP.. Just would hate to trade that much youth in the same position when others could've been had for money.. Trading Dunning, Madrigal/Cease and Dalquist (example) is a lot to stomach right now

That trade value site is worthless

His K numbers have appeared to spike since going to OAK. Is this the new Gray?
