Swaim on twitter: Nationals to sign Prince Fielder to 8 year deal?

I'll wait for more confirmation as well. I've always thought the Nats would sign him, but I have a tough time believing an NL team would give him 8 years.

This. He is going to HAVE to be a DH in 4-5 years. If this is true, the 3yr opt out was a smart move.

I don't know about the Ravens part, but definitely think he appreciates the Nationals keeping MASN relevant.

If true, I think people are passing judgement on the Nats a bit to quick. This may turn out bad later on, but it may give them a legit shot at the playoffs. They are still a young team, so it may work out for them.

Oh he's happy the Ravens lost, trust me. First, the O's can now start their post-Fanfest marketing two weeks early. Second, all those fans that would have plopped down money to go to Indianapolis can now spend it on 13 and 29 game plans instead.

Incarcerated Bob (he's usually pretty good at getting scoops) is reporting that the Rangers have signed him. Here are two tweets from the past 15 minutes from him.

Well Trea says the less you hear about the Orioles the better, so this is all great news for us.

He's wrong a lot of the time.

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
