Trading Season

and why do the red sox want Beltran?

So he can finally win a ring. 


No seriously, to replace Nava in left, since he is most likely going to move to 1st to replace Napoli.

that's what I'm reading too

Fielder is declining quickly. I don't know anything about Kinsler.

Meeps called that one weeks ago.

Kinsler reminds me of Pedroia, a great eye who scraps to get on base and a solid 2nd base fielder, plus Detroit can afford to resign Scherzer now, overall, a better deal for Detroit

Is there anything more ironic than ARod with roid rage at his PED hearing?

can't stand him

that entire thing was staged, he "storms " out of the hearing because Bud selig isn't going to testify, even though they knew ell in advance he wasn't going to tesify, then within minutes has released a statement to the press, his lawyer shows up on one radio talk show and then 15 minutes later he shows up on another.

Orchestrated completely.

he has no choice but to try this route, he really doesn't have any other avenue.

he lied about using steroids in 2007, he lied about knowing Bosh in january of this year, and why, if you are innocent, do you pay 305,000 dollars to obtain documents from the Biogenesis group if you are innocent.


he's just a pice of crap that is trying the Roger Cleens "If i say i'm innocent long enough, maybe somebody will actually believe me" tactic

that was rude.
he's a great fielder but I thought he'd go to a team as a dh....Boston has Ortiz.

and yeah, we probably can't afford drew.

I'm not sure they really want beltran, they may be using it to try and raise the price for the yankees, who need another aging player to fill out their roster.

I believe he'd stage something like this. I hope they just ban him for life. He's just a prick.

I heard the Yanks could be going after Ibanez again.

rauuuuuuullllll!

 

its a shame I can't see smilies to see if I should be mad at you for that

The Phils hired ex Red Sox pitching coach McClure

I think our off season is pretty much complete

maybe a bullpen guy but that's about it

Ah, come on, I was just joking

I think she may need a little more time

The Red Sox announced their 2014 spring training schedule, with Truck Day taking place at Fenway Park on Feb. 8, pitchers and catchers reporting on Feb. 15, position players slated for a Feb. 18 arrival and the team opening its slate with exhibitions against Northeastern and Boston College on Feb. 27 and its Grapefruit League slate with a contest against the Twins on Feb. 28 at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers.

less than 3 months  

it could be another long summer but  anyway

Gonna be a great summer!!

Cardinals trade for Peter Bourjos of the LA Angels. Freese is said to be the other guy in the deal.

 

You no like?

I'll miss him.

The CF you received is supposed to be good. We were looking at him too

Sonofabitch, The Stankees got McCann  

He's going to love hitting there

He killed us no matter where we played him. Good riddance

you could have afforded drew, since you just paid peralta 4 years and 52 million, I can't see drew signing for that, and he's a much much better fielder than Jhonny

and see, it doesn't matter what your past history is, if they need a player they sign him, it didn't matter in the least to the cards that he used PED s and was suspended.

i say they would take Puig in a second if the deal helped their team.

we're going to run out of "clean" players soon

there's several on the market this season with issues

hell, we've signed 2 (Ruiz was suspended for Adderall last year, Byrd was suspended for something the year before). We still have a third guy who was suspended for the BioGenensis yet! (Bastardo)

we would of had to give up a draft pick for him, so I'm told. I'm Pissed. really, really mad about the signing of paralta

you would have, but still i would much rather have drew playing shortstop over perralta ( i wonder if any of us have spelled his name right?)

no idea. lol...I'm on my phone, I never care to spell check. I wanted drew. I'm very upset.

Red Sox sign A.J. piersynski

Not sure about this move, hopefully they are confident in the catchers in the minors, as they now have a 35 and a 37 year old catcher.

Looks like salty is gone

how long did you sign him for? if it's just a year or two - i think he'd be a decent pick up..he's a vet..scrappy..and will fit in on the red sox pretty well imo...but def not a long term option

from what I am reading it's a one year deal, which is in line with what the sox are doing right now.


Salty will end up in Minnesota I think, the marlins offered him a deal I read, but who would want to go there and play

yea a one year Perziensky deal isn't too bad...

i dont even know what the cubs are doing..havent paid any attention lol..i think were trying to trade our best pitchers again right now for "players to be named" and "prospects" that we will never see...woo

the Nats got Fister from the Tigers.

yay

at least he's not a lefty

I think they will be pushing one of the young'ens next year to get to the bigs, they keep saying they need another year in the minors, but my guess is one of them is up here by the all-star break, learning from the two veterans

Honestly i would have preferred they sign salty to a 3 year deal, and if the other guys were ready, he could have been traded, it's not like he's was gonna make 20 mil a year.

if they signed him to 3 years, 8-9 million a year, they could have kept him.

i think the reason his offense tailed off last year is because ross was hurt and he had to catch 120 games, instead of the 90-100 they originally planned on.



I'm not fond of AJ either, hopefully the rest of the clubhouse can keep him in check

The good news about Salty going to Miami is he'll be traded by the deadline next season. If things don't work out with AJ, you could trade for him again.

Was that you Derek? Nice throw!  

haha ....cubs fans cant even throw home run balls back without major disaster... lol

LMAO

Ellsbury is a Effing Traitor, 7 yrs 142 million with the Stankees, boo this man!  

  thats terrible...i hate the yankees!.....id never join them like that...id stick with a true team for a bit less money..

Just like Johnny Effing Damon, good riddance.

I can't get any emoticons to work, damnit
