great trade for the Jays.....

In terms of how huge a jump this is in regards to how stingy the Marlins typically are with spending money ...

:lol:

The MLB All-Stars that went over to Japan for a few exhibition games got no-hit today by the Japanese team.

Robbie Cano...broke his toe

A Mariner fan "D'oh"

<font color=goldenrod>Braves send Jason Heyward and Jordan Walden to the Cardinals for Shelby Miller and Tyrell Jenkins.

Russell Martin signs with the Blue Jays for 5 years, $84 million.

Giancarlo Stanton's contract with the Marlins is finalized. He can opt out at age 30 (after 2019) and a full no-trade clause. 13 years, $325 million.

HOT FUCKING STOVE</font>

dumbass ATL decisions ahoy.

I'm a bit surprised with the Heyward trade. Didn't have him "on my radar" at all.

Figured Heyward would be a Brave for life.


Russell Martin got paid.

Hasn't been as great as his rookie season but also surprised with that trade.

Guess the Braves GM wanted to start the rebuilding process a lot sooner with all those young arms in the rotation especially if the rumors of them also losing Justin Upton occurs.

Russell Martin is a great catcher.... not $84 million great....

In LOLMets news, by the time Giancarlo Stanton's 13 year contract with the Marlins is over, the Mets will still be paying Bobby Bonilla for another 8 years.

$325? Lol next A-Rod

BOBBY BONILLA

Yeah that seems like a lot for him. I guess he's a great "clubhouse guy"

Braves are apparently building for 2017......LOLOLOLOLOL F that noise.

Wished the Jays would have spent that cash on a 2nd baseman or a starting pitcher, but Martin is solid.

A's signed Billy Butler to a 3 year, $30 million deal. Royals weren't willing to cover his option for next year ($12.5 million) and bought out the rest of his contract for $1 million.

Red Sox currently the frontrunners to get Pablo Sandoval after offering him a 5 year, $95 million deal. Giants, Padres, and Blue Jays also are in the race to get him.

White Sox sign Adam LaRoche for two years at $25 million. Likely that he splits between 1B and DH with Abreu.

I like that move. I know he's 35, but he can still hit and did win a gold glove just two years ago. Also he's a good "clubhouse guy" apparently.

Padres have reportedly made the most significant offer to Sandoval thus far. Either they added a 6th year or pushed a 5yr deal for 100 million. Either way, nice to see they're legit serious in signing an actual top tier free agent. Reports indicate he's leaning towards Boston, however.

I will kill the Blue Jays if they sign Pablo

Fox Sports reporting Red Sox expected to be signing Hanely Ramirez soon with the deal in the 5 year, $90 million range. ESPN speculates the reason either as possible insurance in case Pablo Sandoval goes somewhere else or more depth for 3B.

Probably a huge sign of next season as a last chance for Will Middlesbrook in Boston since he's going to lose out the most with these new signings.

2015 red Sox, trying to win games 15-13 because they have tons of offense but no pitching and a sketchy defense.Let's see how that works out.

Great, now Cashman will panic and sign some more DHs

Maybe he'll panic and deal for Ryan Howard

Pablo going to the Sox. Pretty heartbreaking. Follow the money, I guess. I've heard that the Giants offer wasn't far off though. Confused.

Nah we already have a first baseman that didn't live up to his contract

Woke up to hear Boston signed HanRam and Kung Fu Panda this morning. Looking like Boston will continure it's pattern of worst to first to worst to first this season.

I didn't know Sandoval and Ramirez could pitch

Edit: apparently Sandoval can pitch

Hanley will be on DL for more games this year than games he will play....

There's always room for one more!

Orioles aren't signing Andrew Miller, watch him go back to Boston..ugh

Not surprised about him leaving since he did tease a few times about bolting once the offseason began. Probably knew the Os weren't going to offer him a long term deal from what they gave away in that trade.

He does like playing in Boston but also struggled a bit last season which was why he got traded away.

Jon Lester meeting with the Giants next week for talks about a possible deal. Braves, Cubs, Blue Jays, and Cardinals also are interested in him along with rumors of the Yankees likely getting involved later.

Yasmany Tomas reportedly agrees to 6 year, $68.5 million deal with Diamondbacks. Deal includes an opt-out after 4 years, according to "sources."

The amount surprises me, since the Phillies backed down after he apparently wanted 7/$100 million. Though maybe his camp realized he wouldn't get that much?

TOMASSSSSSSS.

Although it pisses me off to no end that the old regime thought that Upton was too expensive on his 6 year 51 million contract and traded him away for peanuts, then the new regime comes in and signs Tomas for way more.

Jays just got Josh Donaldson for basically nothing. Fucking right bitches! Lawrie sucks, Baretto is a solid spect but 4-5 years away, Gravemen is ok and Nolin is basically a AAAA guy.

Giants fans talk about "torture" but trying rooting for a team who ships off their players. It's really difficult to be a fan of a team when you know you can't get attached to anyone.

Or it's just a bigger life lesson and teaches you how to adapt. And survive.

I dunno
