Gonna throw a big party when his retirement day comes around.
What the hell is a "Baseball Assistance Team" anyway? |
Group that helps families of retired players and later became officially sponsored by MLB.

Yankees win the Masahiro Tanaka sweepstakes.
7-years, $155 mil. With an opt out after 4. Awesome! |
Yes!
|
Tanaka to the Yankees seemed like a foregone conclusion because they were always going to give him a shitload of money but moreover he could play with some of his countrymen.
|
Kinda crazy he got $100 million more than Darvish, who is regarded as the better pitcher between the two.
|
Droford, who do you regard to be the most attractive baseball player currently playing in the MLB?
|
I bet the Mariners wished the hadn't given Cano so much money. A rotation with Hernandez, Tanaka and Iwakuma would be pretty badass.
|
Speaking of wishes, Droford, which current MLB player's badass would you wish you could rotate yourself into?
|
Unless I missed something I think this move bumps the Yanks over the luxury tax threshold even after deducting A-Rod's salary. They might just say fuck it and go after Drew and Balfour or something.
|
I'm rooting for A Rod to win his court case and the Yankees have to pay him as well.
They've doled out almost $500 million in contracts to 9 players so far, what's another couple million for Balfour and another pitcher. You'd also think they would have spent a few more bucks on a better 2b not named Brian Roberts |
Speaking of courting, Droford, which current MLB player would you most like to start a relationship with?

Matt Garza signs with the Brewers for 4 years, $52mil.
I bet the Twins and Royals feel stupid right now. |
Rays signed to a Grant Balfour 2 year, $12 million deal.
|
Red Sox win the championship by downsizing their big roster and getting great role players and not going overboard with contracts. What do the Yankees learn about this? Absolutely nothing. SIGNS ANYTHING THAT MOVES!
|
The final piece in closer swap 2014 would be for the Os to sign Rodney but not happening
|
<font color=goldenrod>Aaaand the Yankees are back in on the Stephen Drew sweepstakes since they've already passed the threshold.
Mets may as well cross him off their wish list then.</font> |
Painful irony of Eric Byrnes talking about how Carlos Quentin is the #8 overall left fielder RIGHT NOW.
|
Would be more ironic if he talked about a catcher having great plate-blocking ability.
|
MLB approves new protective caps for pitchers with the caps to be made available for this year and all levels of the game.

Would it fit on Bond's head??

Braves resigned both Freddie Freeman and Jason Heyward with Freeman's deal rumored to be in the 8 years, $125 million range and Heyward's deal confirmed for 2 years, $13 million.
|
8, $125 mil.
Where'd that figure come from? |
Chris Davis probably will get $25 mil a year from someone if Freddie Freeman is worth $17..damnit

Curt Schilling diagnosed with cancer. I know he was a dip user. I'm willing to bet that he has ora cancer. Ugh, quitting dip is rough. It's been since Sunday morning for me and it's been awful.
|
<font color=goldenrod>That sucks. Hopefully he can fight through it.</font>
|
:(
Love Schilling |
Feel terrible for the guy. I know how hard it is to quit.
|
He has had a rough couple of years. Too bad.
|
Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner passes away at 91.
Made occasional visits to the Mets broadcast booth right up to the last year of his life. RIP :( |

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> A's resigned Coco Crisp to a two year contract extension worth around an extra $22 million. Royals signed former 1B Mike Sweeney to a job in management although didn't mention what it was at the time. Mariners signed Fernando Rodney to a 2 year, $14 million deal. |
Great. Now if the Yankees can cut a deal with A-Rod for a buyout......
Nah. Never happen. |
D'Backs sign Bronson Arroyo 2 years, 19 million
|
Love Arroyo as a #4 starter. Can't tell you enough how having your #4 be a guy who you know will take the mound every 5 days and eat up innings more often than not. Yeah, he will throw some stinkers because HE'S A #4 STARTER but he will also have that 6 week run where he pitches better than 3 others in the rotation and keeps the team from hitting long losing streaks. The fact that they got him for this price when the going rate for a pitcher of his type has been 5/$55 is great market timing by the dbacks.
|
I love the signing, but the D'Backs don't have an ace at all.
