I was hoping the Phillies would make a run at Granderson or Cruz or someone like that, but getting Byrd for that price isn't terrible. Plus it allows for a little wiggle room to fix some other issues.

Jays are apparently going to spend more money this off-season. It'd better start with a fucking catcher.

Worst to first means nothing these days. Clubhouse purge and a management change is the fastest way to fix a team.

Francona brought the Indians back to the postseason with some players and a sense of direction. Something Cleveland hasn't had in a while.

Girardi held the Yankees together with nothing more than duct tape and superglue with all the problems they had and they still contended. I would have thrown a vote his way.

Jeff Wilpon is truly clueless. He said that the Mets were getting very close to making an announcement. Any fanbase, especially New York, takes this as a sign that a player addition may be forthcoming.

Nope. A couple of hours later the announcement was made that Huey Lewis and Boyz II Men would be performing at Citi Field in 2014.

Multiple teams are apparently interested in J.P Arencibia. Guess the market is high on catchers hitting below the Mendoza line and being able to throw out 10% of runners.

You can have McCann. Braves have Gattis now so they don't have to keep McCann, and likely won't.

So, here's how that Max Scherzer trade is working out for the Diamondbacks:

Ian Kennedy: 8.5 total WAR with DBacks
Edwin Jackson: 0.1 WAR with DBacks + 1 no hitter

Jackson was traded for Daniel Hudson and David Holmberg

Hudson: 4.5 total WAR (still with team, recovering from Tommy John surgery)
Holmberg: 0.1 WAR (still with team)

Kennedy traded for Joe Thatcher and Matt Stites

Thatcher: -0.3 WAR (still with team)

Stites: played at AA San Antonio next year, jury still out.

TOTAL: 12.9 WAR

Scherzer: Worth 15.4 WAR to Detroit BY HIMSELF over the past 4 seasons to Detroit.

Going to go hang myself now.

I believe they reached a settlement. But it's painfully obvious at this point that they have no money. Since Alderson came on board they've raised the fan bases' expectations that this was the offseason where they'd start to spend money, but now they're backing off of it.

Alderson carefully dances around every answer, simply saying "we'll spend more on free agents than we did last year" when they only spent $5 million on free agents last year. He also belittled the fan base this week, saying "it's a shame that a part of the fanbases' team loyalty is tied in to how much money we spend". Fuck off with that shit.

With the Byrd contract there are already whispers that it will set a baseline for corner outfielder that the Mets will not be able to afford, and I'm hearing they still don't want to sign anybody who will make them lose a draft pick even though their 1st round pick is protected.

Carlos Ruiz staying in PHI: 3yrs/$26mil. $4.5mil club option or $500k buyout for 2017. Can also make $500k per year if he starts 125 games, which he has never done in his career.

Not crazy about the years, but I'm not sure there was a better RH option besides McCann and he'll command a ton of money. And again, more money to spend on other areas (like pitching!).

Giants sign Tim Hudson. 2 years, $23 mil.

MadBum, Cain, The Freak, and now Hudson. That's a solid lineup the Giants got there.

Robinson Cano ended up dropping around $58 million and 1 year from his demands with him now wanting around $252 million and 9 years from the Yankees.

Yankees increased their offer by $10 million and 2 years to $170 million and 9 years while he'd probably need to drop another $50 million to get anyone else interested if the Yankees drop out.

I've always assumed Cano and the Yankees would wind up coming to an agreement. Until he actually signs elsewhere I don't believe he will leave.

$8 mil. a year for Philbert. That sounds fair. Could have gotten more if he didn't stink it up this season.

Cano ain't getting $200+ mil. Good for the Yankees for playing hardball right now. Although I would like them to give him their final offer with a time limit on it.

I've said it ad nauseum already this offseason but the Mets really are fucked with these prices for free agents. They were hoping to get Bronson Arroyo for 2 years tops but there's really no reason for him to not want 3 guaranteed years given that he's been better and more reliable than Hughes.

Already reading the Mets are shifting their attention to 3rd tier free agents who will sign for 1 year. Ugh.

Also for some reason MetsBlog keeps posting updates on the Cano contract negotiation. "The Mets and Cano met in early November but there has been nothing since then indicating interest from either side."

Seeing Yankee/Cano updates on MetsBlog is like watching your ex live it up on Facebook.

Don't jinx it, Vito. Cano may very well stay in New York. But as a Met with a big ass albatross contract.

There is zero chance Cano would come to the Mets. He'd probably demand double from them what he's asking from the Yankees.

Say what you will about the Omar Minaya era, but at least his Mets teams were mostly competitive and I actually looked forward to the offseason when he was at the helm.
