Offseason Rumors and Deals Around MLB

[Il BuonO]

Well this means Leake might still be available.

Yes, league average pitchers should be at the top of their list.

What's left, Cueto? Someone who can give us 180 IP would be nice. Beats Colon, Fister, etc. IMO

Fisters Sean last year was an abnormality....great buy low candidate. I'd rather give Fister 1/10 then Leake 6/80...

Is that a bad picture of Urias? Or does he look like the monster from the Goonies?

Some people who think they know everything think Fister is done. I don't know why he lost so much velo on his FB.

He had an eye tumor

With ATL working on a fire sale should we at least check on Markakis? DD keeps talking about wanting a LH OF bat. What if they pick up 50% of the remaining money? He's owed 33M the next 3 years. What if the Braves kick in 16.5M?

Ok, so who else can you find to play RF with the GG defense he brings at 5M/year assuming ATL kicks in money and put up a .370 OBP?

Who is out there that can offer that value (at that salary)?

[Sir_Loin]

FWIW, Royals are interested in Markakis

[paulcoates]

Man, that is really impressive to have overcome that to the extent that he has...

[Stotle]

Almost perfect move by the Yankees considering their current situation. Castro and Gregorius make a young, solid, relatively cheap middle infield that can stick with the team while their bad contracts come off the books.

Zobrist is a questionable contract for Chicago, but his positional flexibility allows for someone like Javier Baez to take over at 2B later.

I think Baez is either in center field or traded. But then again I didn't think Zobrist to Chicago would happen.

[Sir_Loin]

Stotle, DD made it clear that he has had trade talks with teams who have signed starting pitchers and have free up some SP depth with their club. Who do you think we are targeting in trades for starting pitchers? I liked Miller but he is gone and for a high price tag.

[25 Nuggets]

Tell the Mets..

There are people on that team that I would take for Schoop. But they won't like the names.

[Sir_Loin]

Al Lieter just said he thinks Upton is going to Baltimore based on what he has heard and his preference if he was the team.

Cites Jones and Showalter being able to possibly get him back to MVP type player and playing at OPACY should allow him to hit 30-35 HR

Remember: DD tried to trade for him but didn't like SD asking price based on it being a 2 month rental.

Orioles will have to outbid or out-negotiate the Angels who like Upton and Cespedes.
