Downsides of today's trades....Indians and Rangers markedly improved and are significantly better than they were two days ago, Yankees restocking their entire farm system with mega number of prime prospects. Orioles weakness in farm system showed glaringly in being nonplayers in this trade market.

Upsides: Texas may finally be running their previously well stocked farm system down having sent major prospects last July for Hamels and this July for Beltran, Lucroy, etc. DD didn't have the assets in the system to do something stupid.

Upside - Yankees might be bad for a couple of years before the prospects develop, if ever.

That's because we don't have any depth. If we did, we could trade good prospects. We don't, so IIWII.

We had Gausman, Bundy and Harvey as prospects a few years back he held on to all of them. ALl three were rated pretty high pre-2014.

We end up doing nothing. Great job. Meanwhile, Texas lands Lucroy, Beltran, Jeffress in the span of an hour. Cleveland and Texas just separated themselves completely from the rest of the AL.

The O's don't have the assets to do more than they did. Not trading Bundy is a

win for the O's. IMO

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Smith and Bowman signed Milb contacts, stop period. which means if they not have 6 years MLB service they make minor league money if they are in the minors. Albert signed a one guarenteed contract, 740k. Itwas A Milb contract to keep him off the 40. Even if he got DFA or never pitched one inning of MLB he still makes the 740k. He was good enough to demand this contract and get it. Smith and Bowman were not.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Just because you sign as a free agent doesn’t mean you aren’t subject to the rules around 6 years of service time. For instance, I don’t believe Burch Smith or Matt Bowman can elect free agency unless they are outrighted, released, or non-tendered. However, there are examples of foreign professionals being eligible to elect free agency early - for example Shintaro Fujinama last year.  It’s not part of the CBA, but presumably the commissioner will approve that special covenant as part of an FA deal if the player has at least 6 years of experience in foreign league.  It’s possible they would let Suarez combine his 1 year MLB service time (prior to this season) with his 3 years in NPB and 2 years in KBO.  And it’s possible they let Suarez write these terms into an MILB contract that had split MLB terms.  It wouldn’t have been my starting assumption, but it seems plausible.

      Jim'sKid26 ok down in Ashville

      By George Zuverink · Posted

      Here I am checking in. We and our condo on the east side of Asheville made it through unscathed. On Tuesday we flew into DC and moved into a hotel in Falls Church. Our son, Eric, ordered us to make that trip and made all the arrangements because we had no internet and limited cell service. We expected to stay a week while electricity is restored and then we learned about the dire water situation. We are moving in with Eric and his family who have been supporting us in every way possible, anticipating needs and things that would help us. Our daughter, Robyn, and her husband, Ken live about 30 miles west of Asheville , Waynesville, had no damage, never lost power or water. Today they rescued my car from $30 a day hourly parking, threw out everything that was beginning to make the condo stink and tied up  a few ends we left loose when we left Dodge in a hurry. They are, collectively, the loving, supportive family everyone should want and have .

      At least Joe Jackson seemed to be a decent human.
