Ken Rosenthal reported it's likely BP stays with Cincy. Unsure why. I assume the market or return wasn't right.
 
Very, very early. I have a hunch for Nats/Tigers in the WS.

Obviously improves if Detroit lands Choo over Boston. And Washington can bolster their offense.
 
It's Boston's division to lose right now. Hinging largely on the growth of X, Middlebrooks, and Jackie Bradley.

Choo would be huge for Cherington but I'm hearing Detroit is all-in on him. Hence the cheap Fister trade.

Nathan, Choo, lock up Scherzer. Done.
 
Mets are shot. Chris Young isn't any kind of solution.

Ellsbury will be fine, but that's still a ton of money. Wonder if the Yankees are comfortable letting Cano go.

3/45 is doable if Grandy can stay healthy.
 
Reason I have Soriano 4th is because he is a straight fastball hitter.. You place him behind guys who get hits, you have to come at him.. Big reason why he was a beast last season was hitting around Cano.

You have this completely backwards dude. If you want Soriano to see fastballs, you bat him in front of Cano.
 
Granderson is healthy. He got hit by two pitches by the same pitcher. He'll get his 3-4 year deal

Nats from being a huge disappointment to the World Series this season????
 
Yankees :lol:

Ellsbury cant stay on the field. Its easy to forget coming off a World Series run, but this contract will look silly with Ells sitting on the bench about half of the time. Awesome player who helped bring another ring to Boston, but that contract is :smh: . But when you got Yankee money it really doesnt matter. Happy that Ells is getting paid though.

10 of the 17 Homeruns he hit with the Yankees were batting cleanup.

44 of 58 games were batting from the 4th spot.
 
So granderson def won't sign now. I always liked him, he was unlucky last year with injuries but I always enjoyed his play. He couldn't hit lefties worth a damn tho.

I still can't believe 7 years tho, that's crazy man. Could have resigned granderson for cheaper and less years.

Granderson was never in the Yankees plans. Once he declined their offer it was over. Grandy should go to the Mets
 
Yanks just throw away money like no one else....i bet u anything...no other team offered Jacob more than 80 Million a season

stop saying this ******** crap.

Boston offered Ells 100m and 120m, for starters.

The Yankees have been horrible since 2009...this past season was an abhorrent display of baseball from a team that never expects to miss the playoffs. Changes needed to be made.

2 big signings of McCann and Ellsbury...bringing back Cano and Kuroda and a possible addition of 1-2 more glue guys like Infante and a pitcher will greatly improve this team. You have to spend money in today's game to get somewhere. The Yankees have the means, stop holding it against them.

but Chris Young was never a "solution" he's just a piece. He's not a bad player, easily a 20/20 player with a crappy average. The Mets need to sign Choo and Granderson and possibly an Arroyo. It gets them going.
 
He's starting his decline.

No thanks to him for four years and $52 million left.

Scumbag Yankees back at it :pimp:

Ellsbury' gonna play 80 games a year throughout that contract. Glad my Mets didn't overpay.

I like Grandy. I could live with him on a two year deal.

But you're happy they'll overpay for Granderson to hit in a park that kills lefty power? He has no other skill left besides the power. He doesn't get on base anymore to steal as much as he used to and his gap to gap skills are almost completely gone.

Mets are going to need an entire lineup they only have Wright & hes already P1ssed Off with management. Grandy aint helping yall win anything. :lol:

Nats improved good job getting Doug.

One of the Braves beat writers said were inquiring on Brandon Phillips.

Wright should be pissed at himself and stop with his second half disappearing act every season.

Granderson is healthy. He got hit by two pitches by the same pitcher. He'll get his 3-4 year deal

So Granderson fractures his hand twice out of bad luck and he's not injury prone and should get a 3 to 4 year deal.

But, Ellsbury has two bad luck injuries and all of a sudden he's injury prone? He's had two on field collisions, he may not be durable enough to come back but that's not injury prone. The kid just gutted through a stress fracture in his foot to help Boston win a WS.

Guys like Beckett or Peavy or Tulo are injury prone. Guys who hurt themselves every year doing things themselves. Ellsbury crashed into Beltre and slid into a second baseman. That's not injury prone.
 
^ I like Ells and Curtis.

Ells has had some freak accidents but he's also had some random foot injuries that will have him out for weeks. I remember the fractured collarbone an stuff. Hopefully he stays healthy, if so....we will be dangerous.

As long as Curtis as been with us, he hasn't had injuries really except for getting hit twice. I'm fine with him not coming back. Yankees didn't want him for a reason. I think he needs to stop pulling the bat and work on his average. He'll get a three year deal somewhere.
