exactly. no one wants a 31 year old super star with HOF possibilities on the roster with 5 years left on their contract.

Wait. What?

Wait. What?

I know, utterly indecipherable.

[El Gordo]

The Reds are selling everyone.

What would it take to get Jay Bruce?

[El Gordo]

Are there any rumors of teams interested in Wieters? The Braves are out. Tomorrow is decision day.

I keep hearing the White Sox.

Probably not much by the end of things - the Reds will ask for too much at first and settle for something reasonable later.

Adding Bruce is basically more of the same for the Orioles (poor average, OBP below .300, can hit HRs). I think he'd be a drain on the budget.

Jon Heyman mentions Carlos Gonzalez to the Orioles. As a good fit ,anyway.

This is going to be hard to believe but guess who Gonzalez's agent is?

2016 - $17 mil

2017 - $20 mil

Lefty. Power hitter with decent average/OBP. Coors Field.

Home - .324/.382/.604

Away - .255/.310/.441

Always have to worry about 'dem Rockies.

2015 Bruce = 2014 Davis and 2014 Bruce was worse than that. Are you expecting a rebound after two bad years?

Last two years he's been sub-replacement overall, and barely peeking his head above zero this year. Is he being shifted? It's hard to tell why he's fallen off, but if he's hitting .260 he's pretty good, but not so much hitting .210. It's hard to contribute BABIPing .250. Also, his HR/FB has fallen from 18% in 2012 to 13% this year. It's like he's just not hitting with as much authority. In any case, his contract is underwater at that production. You'd think you could get him for almost nothing if you picked up the contract. But the Reds may not be over the fact he's supposed to be awesome and will be looking for a real return.

I saw Tommy Nunter's name brought up on MLBTR to the Tigers. I did not expect to see his name brought up so soon.
