The Mets have not signed a Major League free agent in 376 days...pathetic.

Giants reach single year agreements on 4 players to avoid arbitration occurring on all of them. Buster Posey gets $8 million, Hunter Pence gets $13.8 million, Gregor Blanco gets $1.35 million, and Jose Mijares gets $1.8 million.
Red Sox had several as well with Jacoby Ellsbury getting $9 million and Joel Hanrahan gets $7.04 million. Entire list of everyone who settled today: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/ey...y-hunter-pence |

Hunter Pence being paid more than Buster Posey gives me a sad

Hunter Pence should have been set loose, he steps in the bucket everytime he swings. He had a bit of magic in last's years post seaso, but I do think he's done

Pence still had 100 RBI last year. I wouldn't say he's done at all. The guy isn't even 30 yet.

Yeah fuck it, bought tickets.
Although, I don't know what kind of American I am. I own no American-flag-themed shirts nor hats. I don't want people to think I'm rooting for the dirty Canadians or dirty Mexicans or dirty Italians. Maybe I should just drape myself with an American flag the entire time. |

$100 for all 4 games. That's not bad.
$0 to just watch it on tv. That's also good too. |

Have we decided if the WBC is important or not?
Or do we have to wait on deciding the importance of the HOF first? |

USA has a pretty good roster. I'm not too excited about the pitching, but in terms of position players, it's not that bad at all. And Joe Torre is the Manager, so:

Watch out for Venezuela, though. They have "King" Felix, Miguel Cabrera, Pablo Sandoval, Carlos Gonzalez, Marco Scutaro, Elvis Andrus, Martin Prado and Asdrubal Cabrera, among others.

So am i to assume there will be atleast 45 games played by the US in this thing? If not, they may as well just leave Mark Teixeira home.

Bummer about Weaver. I thought he was dead already actually, but thats just the sadness of premature greying hair; he looked old 40 years ago when he was really quite young for an MLB manager.

Kevin Towers asked for Starlin Castro in exchange for Justin Upton. Bro just needs to give it up cause he has ZERO leverage. Take Mike Olt & Martin Perez off the Rangers & let's move on with our lives. I'm sick of this shit.

Does Kevin Towers not know Jim Hendry is no longer Cubs GM? These kinds of deals aren't happening under Theo and Jed Hoyer's watch.

I have this record signed by Stan Musial. I wonder how much it could be worth. I can't find anything like it online.

Checked Ebay along with Google and the highest selling price was around $50 although none were autographed. Might be one of those cases where its more obscure than valuable for rarity or demand.

Mets sign Pedro Feliciano to a minor league deal with an invitation to Spring Training.
Pedro was the fucking man during his last Mets tenure - one of the few relievers the Mets have trotted out the last few years where I felt confident about him getting the job done. He was literally a waste of money for the Yankees - and he got the Mets an extra draft pick, Michael Fulmer, who has potential. Would be funny if he actually managed to make the team as a second lefty. |

Tim Kurkjian obscure stat time: Pedro Feliciano has the 15th most appearances by lefty relievers over the past 5 seasons - despite him not pitching at all in 2011 or 2012.
