It's expected that any team acquiring Dickey would want an exclusive window to negotiate an extension. The Mets are trying to give him a 2 year extension and the buzz around baseball is that Dickey would get similar contract from any team in baseball. Because he's a knuckler, nobody really is afraid of locking him up through 2015. Even if he regresses a bit, he's expected to be durable.
But the Mets would be better served hammering out an extension and making Dickey a part of the long-term solution than selling him for a guy who, at best, would be a lateral move. They already have Captain Kirk in the Majors plus Matt dek Dekker in the minors who are exactly the same kind of player as Bourjos. |

Though I doubt they can get much right now in return for Dickey (nothing top notch) they could deal him at the deadline for a nice return. The Mets are 3 years away from competing for a Wild Card. They need to focus on that window. And I know Dickey is a knuckleballer. But he would be going on 42. Just not going to do it for them. Dealing him to the Angels makes perfect sense. But they will have to accept that they wont get a bounty. |

Read that there may be a Trumbo for Dickey deal in the works. Be surprised if the Angels gave up Trumbo, but them again, they now have a guy by the name of Hamilton playing for them, and they do need pitching.
Just had a thought. Wonder if the Rays are still looking to move a pitcher for ?? a guy like Trumbo. |

Doubt the Rays move any more pitching after Shield/Davis.

I know it won't happen but I wish we could dump Phil Hughes for Trumbo. Need a young bat and Phil Hughes is an abortion. And throw Joba in the deal too.

I don't think the Mets are 3 years away. I think they have enough young talent to make a Wild Card push in 2014 assuming Wheeler gets some big league seasoning in 2013 (as many are expecting he will). They'll have Dickey as the veteran stabilizer and then Harvey, Niese, Wheeler, and Gee behind him.
Not to mention other young arms (Familia, Mejia, etc.) firmly entrenched in the bullpen. Plus I think Duda and Captain Kirk have a shitload of potential. The problem the Mets have is they are notorious for stunting development of their young players by yo-yo'ing them between the Majors and Minors constantly. But they never seem to be able to fully commit to tanking a season for the sake of letting the kids play. They've contradicted themselves to many times as to what their plan is going forward. Just let this crop of young guys spend 2013 in The Show. They'll have plenty of payroll space available for 2014 as well with contracts coming off the books, so they can actually go out and get a free agent or two to help supplement the promising young guys that they have. My only concern is that the Wilpons might end up pussying out and pocketing all the extra cash they'll have. |

Angels and Dodgers are the new Jones' of the MLB. They're gonna try to out-do each other for years to come.
Mark Walter: "Hey Arte! We just signed Zack Greinke! WE RULE THIS TOWN!" Arte Moreno: "Oh yeah? Well, we just signed Josh Hamilton! We stuck it you AND Texas. WHATCHA THINK ABOUT THAT?!" Mark: "Hmmmm. NED! WHO'S LEFT ON THE MARKET WE CAN SIGN?!" |

Yankees retain Ichiro. 2-years, between $12-$13 mil.
Meh. 1 year too many. But what's done is done. |

Love Ichiro so much. If the Yankees win a title in the next 2 seasons, I can at least take solace that Ichiro won a ring.

Latest is Cubs are now out on Sanchez with the Tigers getting him back sometime today.
Was surprised at the move to begin with, but this is starting a bizarre trend where they have a deal, then it breaks down super fast. Wondering "WTF?" |

Tigers keep Anibal Sanchez. 5-years, $80 mil. Theo Epstein offered him $77 mil., but Sanchez gave the Tigers a chance to match it.
Royals sign Xavier Nady to a minor league deal. |

Dickey may be getting moved very soon. The Mets say the Blue Jays have made an offer they will accept if a better offer doesn't come through.
Rangers, Angels, and Orioles have put in offers. |

The only players the o's have with any trade value are machado and Bundy and if the O's are dumb enough to trade either for one year of a over the hill knuckleballer then I might just quit watching baseball. If they can get dickey for anyone else then they should do it, but I can't see the Mets making a deal that doesn't include Bundy or machado.

Trade talks are stalling cause the Jays want Dickey to sign an extension immediately. Dickey doesn't want to do it.
Stick to your guns, Dickey. You're welcome on my team any day. |

We got hit with the luxury tax.......again. $18.9 mil. payable to MLB.
Boston just missed it by $47k. The Boston Bailout saved their ass. |

Dickey is good, but anyone who trades an A prospect for him is wrongheaded. It won't be worth it, and I don't really believe in the entire "prospect (insert name here) can be the next big thing" philosophy.

Dylan Bundy will be in the o's rotation by the all star break. He's about as much of the real deal as the o's have had in a pitching prospect in forever..

Now they're saying D'Arnaud IS involved, but it won't be completed tonight.
D'Arnaud is one of the few guys I'd be happy trading Dickey for. He's gonna be a stud. |

If Dickey won't sign an extension immediately. Screw him. Jays don't need to give into him. FFS
Not against Dickey by any means, but I hate seeing these legit prospects going for a huge gamble. I'd love to see the Jays swing a deal with the Dodgers and thier surplus. |

I think the BJ's can get Dickey extended if enough money changes hands.

Seriously though, his agent is now saying he's totally open to getting a 2 year extension with any team.

BJ's are really going balls to the wall here, and I can respect that from a team that hasn't made the playoffs in two decades. They've been decent for those 20 years, if they were in any other division they probably would have some playoff berths under their belts. Good for them and their fanbase.

Dickey should just come to the Yankees. 39 is close to the average age.
