I wouldn't say sucked. Not been great but hasn't sucked.

You're right. I'll re state to say he's been very mediocre at best. Nonetheless, they've sunk, what, over 20 million a year into both Estrada and Happ when that price could've netted them Jordan Zimmerman over the next 5 years with some money left over.

<font color=goldenrod>Cueto supposedly turned down a 6 year, $120 million offer from the D-Backs
D-Backs have to view that as a slap in the face really. I can't see Cueto getting much more money from anyone else. He just simply didn't want to play in Arizona.</font> |
cool
i don't want cueto |
i like him on my fantasy team and that's about it
|
honestly, i'm more worried about the new uniforms this week rather than nailing down an ace long term
#priorities |
cool deal @ Zimmermann...dunno what THE STATS say but I've always had a hunch he was underrated. Wish the Yankees.......................
What else is happening...need someone to post the MLB trade rumour headlines daily |
Red Sox signed Chris Young to a multi-year deal. Also rumored to be trying to trade Hanley Ramirez.
|
Lotte Giants out of the KBO have posted 3B Jae-gyun Hwang.
|
Zimmerman is good. I don't know how much longer that new elbow ligament from Tommy John is gonna last but for the next two years or so he's going to be a good maybe great piece on their rotation.

The black one from the Yankees last season.
Maybe the Red Sox could invoke some sort of Freebird Rule for all three. Need a good outing, use the pitcher. Need some outfield help, use the outfielder. Need some music to distract the crowd in case the season stinks again, use the musician. |
D-Backs ain't taking no as an answer from Johnny Cueto. They sent GM Dave Stewart, President Derrick Hall, and Baseball Ops. President Tony La Russa down to the Dominican Republic to try to change his mind. Talk about being aggressive.
Meanwhile, the Marlins are finalizing a deal that will make Barry Bonds their new hitting coach. |
Haven't had all my coffee yet but someone post a witty one-liner about Stanton hitting 80 HRs this year
|
<font color=goldenrod>Would be hilarious if Dee Gordon hits like 50 HRs out of nowhere.</font>
|
And steal zero bases.
|
Red Sox win the David Price sweepstakes. 7-years, $217 mil.
|
PRICE!!!!!!
|
<font color=goldenrod>$31 million average annual value. Jesus...</font>
|
Ton of fucking money but it gives then a legitimate ace.
|
2015: We're all aces.
2016: Yeah no. |
So glad he stayed in the AL... he's one of my keepers in my AL-only league lol
|
gonna go jump off a bridge now brb
|
Shit. He's back in the AL East. Yankees gotta deal with him for another 18 games. I'd had him getting just shy of $200 mil. But god damn Davey D. made one hell of splash.
Wish the Yankees would have gotten him, but at dollar amount, you can have him, Boston. |
With how badly their starters experiment backfired last year, no surprise they'd over spend to get Price. Only concern is the years since 7 seems too long.
Also rumored to be considering getting rid of a starter or two to make up what was lost in prospect depth from the Kimbrel deal. SB Nation's Red Sox blog thinks its either Wade Miley, Joe Kelly, or both if possible get dealt soon. |
David Price gettin passed around the al east like an expensive whore
|
Zack Greinke sweepstakes down to just the Dodgers and Giants with a signing expected this week. Rumored to be in the 5-6 year range for length and in the Price range for yearly average.
|
Well.
5 years of Zimmermann @ $110M vs 7 years of Price @ $217M seems pretty good right now |
<font color=goldenrod>Toronto reportedly didn't even make Price an offer.
Also just like Greinke's last Dodger contract, Price's deal contains an opt-out clause after 3 years. So there's at leas a chance he'll hit the market again at 33 if he is beasting it up then and feels he can milk more years out of a team.</font> |
Cardinals ended up being the runner up in the Price sweepstakes. Their offer was around $30 million less but same years.
|
Mark Trumbo to the Os for Steve Clevenger
Ok |
it's like the Orioles traded Arrieta and Strop for 3 months of Scott Feldman and Mark Trumbo. Win!
|
Clevenger was 3rd catcher so its a pretty solid move for 1 year/9 mil consider he can plug any one of the holes they have at of, dh and 1b should davis go
|
Looks like the Orioles effectively replaced nobody.
|
Chris Davis is hardly nobody
|
O's got a bargain for Trumbo. Just hope they got the space to put him at first or outfield. Power hitter, but strikes out a bit too much.
Always my emergency go-to for fantasy baseball. |
I'm a fan of Mark Trumbo for no real reason.
Okay, maybe because I can call his home runs TRUMBOMBS. That is all. |
