2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

[johnnyredstorm]

Peter Gammons tweeted Jays got Russell Martin for "McCann money"... I'm guessing 5 years, $80+ mil contract then

this dude's agent needs to get half of that money. he's not worth anywhere near that dough.

Saw that coming in the Cubs thread. It was like Russell's second best offensive output of his career. But Toronto is really paying for his pitch framing.

Reports were Martin wouldn't take anything less than 5/$75M. Probably slightly more from the Jays.

Heyward to the Cards

Heyward to the Cards

Yeah Heyward and Jordan Walden to the Cards for Shelby Miller and Tyrell Jenkins.

Heyward to the Cards

Terms on an extension? Defense is real, starting to move on with life without Taveras. Obviously once a huge part of STL's OF future.

Russell Martin got an absurd deal, what were the Jays thinking - 5 years $82 mil.

I'm shocked the Cardinals gave up on Miller so quick, he had serious potential and Heyward is a FA after next year

 

[ooiron manoo]

Martin to the Jays... A little bummed

 

[champcruthik]

Yeah Heyward and Jordan Walden to the Cards for Shelby Mitchell and Tyrell Jenkins.

Think you mean Shelby Miller, brotha.

@SportsCenter: BREAKING: Braves trade OF Jason Heyward & RHP Jordan Walden to Cardinals for RHP Shelby Miller & RHP Tyrell Jenkins. http://t.co/5l6GV8wpvn

Think you mean Shelby Miller, brotha.

Yeah. My bad.

 

[venom lyrix]

This deal certainly favors the Braves in the long run, gotta think the Cards are going to try and lock up Heyward long term

 

[johnnyredstorm]

i like that trade for both teams

Lost the effectiveness on his curveball, batters figured out his FB and were making contact.

Not only does Russell Martin get PAID - he's Canadian...so he gets to go home

 

[phillyzphan]

Why are the Braves blowing things up? Heyward is gone and there's talk they're trying to trade both Uptons and Gattis.

he also had some injury issues, but he showed a lot of promise early on

Ideally he benefits Stroman and Sanchez.

 

[venom lyrix]

I'd love Gattis on the Yankees in the DH spot

trueprada , J. Up?! Please respond and address these rumors.

Matheny lost faith in him. Didn't use him in last year's postseason, and Shelby struggled this season.

 

[dland24]

Wow.  Crazy news today!

 

[trueprada]

im surprised as well about the Jup rumor cant be true

now gattis on the other hand im sure thats possible

Gattis' defense is beyond horrid.

It's crazy how much you guys paid mccan. Braves came up with gattis. Don't know why they would blow the team up.
