What the hell is this lester drama getting as bad as lebron.

Every time Joel Sherman says "Schazah" (Scherzer), a puppy dies.

Lester to the Cubs.

Gregerson to Astros. They finally got a guy.

Astros also get Neschek

That bullpen may set a record for most money spent per save/hold given how few leads they will have

Source confirms: Gregerson to #Astros, three years, $18.5M. First reported: @BNightengale

gregerson can earn $2.5M in incentives to reach possible $21M. no option. @astros

Neshek gets over $6 million a year for 2 years. I wonder how much less these guys would have been paid had the A's and the great Jon Lester not blown a big lead late in the WC game. The Royals would have been eliminated instead of almost winning a WS with a pretty average team with great defense and a great bullpen.

 

The floodgates were going to open for relievers getting paid eventually, but probably not now IMO.

Pat Neshek contract w/ #astros: $5.5M in 2015, $6.5M in 2015. $500K buyout. There's a 3rd yr. club option for $6.5M to $9M.

Kind of surprised at the lull today. I thought it would be rapid fire trading today.

Gonna be really weird seeing him in anything other than a Phillies uni after 15 years.

Meh. It's only for one more year (option year), so I guess it should work out fine for LA. I don't know how many more years Rollins can hold up at SS.

Dee Gordon to Miami.

@Jim_Duquette heard the #Nationals were working on a deal last night that would "blow the roof off this place, something to keep an eye on"

Ervin Santana to the Twins.

 

Or as Joel Sherman would say, Santanner.

#RedSox have agreement in principle for #DBacks’ Miley, sources tell me and @jonmorosi. AZ will get Webster, De La Rosa and a minor leaguer.

Astros also get Neschek

 

 

That's going to hurt the Cards' pen.

Zimmermann, Strasburg or Harper? Can't be someone like Ian Desmond.

Probably Zimmermann and Span. I could see a situation where the Cubs offer up Russell and more for a package like that.

Incredible what that half season with the Yankees did for him

Harper to the Sox

Desmond's name has been rumored but I'd guess Zimmermann is the player that was speculated on.

A great book for a book lovers collection. Really like that Thoreau fella, though I'm not sure what he or his book have to do with baseball.
