			Bryce Harper (WSH) Mike Trout (LAA) Davey Johnson (WSH) Buck Showalter (BAL) R.A. Dickey (NYM) Justin Verlander (DET) Buster Posey (SF) Miguel Cabrera (DET) NL MVP was a bit hard but Cabrera's Triple Crown achievement should be enough for him to win. |

			Mets GM hints that they might end up trading Dickey if he doesn't agree to a new long term deal as soon as possible. Also don't care if he ends up winning the Cy Young award since it won't have an impact on the decision to trade him or not. http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/stor...-talks-ongoing |

			Tomorrow is the due date for players to reject or accept the offer their team have given them. If rejected, you got yourself a draft pick coming your way. On the Yankees side of things, Nick Swisher and Rafael Soriano are gonna reject their offers. There's a chance Hiroki Kuroda will accept his. |

 The Rockies used to do that all the time with Cargo to keep him a little safer from running into walls and such. He's still the best center fielder on the team though. | |

			The same reason Scioscia started Bobby Wilson and Jeff Mathis over Mike Napoli; hes an idiot. Just because a manager whos been known to be overly loyal to sub par players he favors puts the bettet player at a different position doesnt mean that said player all of a sudden isnt the est option. Trout is clearly their best defensive player, and its not even close.

			Agree with Vito. Even in a likely career year for Dickey, the Mets were not in playoff contention,. When you look at what they need and what they have, there are glaring holes almost everywhere that keeping Dickey and signing him long term doesnt solve. You could say the same for Wright, but, imo, its harder to find a starting third naseman who is above average on noth sides of the ball.  I think the Mets would be doing the right thing in shopping Dickey now, and perhaps gaining a return similar to what the Padres got for Mat Latos; major league ready talent that can impact the club for the next 5 years. You also have to wonder if Dickey will ever pitch like again. Mets should capitalize on the high stock of Dickey and the thin market for pitchung. |

			Bourjos is a pretty great fielder. Still think Mike Trout should win all of the awards though.

			If the Cubs really wanted to roll the dice and they signed Hamilton, traded for Dickey and maybe picked up another arm like Haren or someone. They could make a run for the central division, but i just have a feeling they are 1 more year away from being a playoff contender. But i dunno. Maybe Starlin goes next level. Maybe Rizzo has a major improvement. Not that he needs a lot of improvement.  Dejesus, Castro, Hamilton, Rizzo, Soriano, assuming Soriano has a similar year next year, would be a really impressive. Especially if Castro and Rizzo improve. |

			A report just hit the web saying the Cubs won the bidding for Hyun-Jin Ryu. Cubbies bid $25.7 mil. and now got 30 days to sign him to a deal. EDIT: UPDATE: False report. Cubs didn't win the bidding. Someone jumped the gun. But someone did pay that amount to talk to the guy. |

			Wonder who won. Theres a report claiming the Rangers wouldnt go past three years on a new Hamilton contract. Sounds like theyre done unless he comes crawling back. |
