The Yankees and Cubs have discussed a trade involving outfielder Brett Gardner and infielder Starlin Castro, reports Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News. The Yankees have discussed Gardner with many other clubs as well, a source tells Feinsand.

Fuk the giants lol damn so.kershaw wants puig traded wtf dodgers need to figure shit out we need a dusty baker if.not a old g to.come get control of the club house

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

I want the cubs to sign jason heyward forget price

Trade for shelby miller or teheran(soler goes to the braves),sign heyward for cf until almora is ready and play bryant in rf,baez at 3b and sign shark.

Shark 4 years 64 mil,Heyward 8 years 176(opt out after 4) and we in there.

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Great defense,Good ob%,low strikeouts,contact hitter who can steal bases in a line up with schwarber,bryant,rizzo,russell,baez,castro would be a problem it improves the of defense and adds a contact hitter who can get on base ahead of the power.Add miller/teheran and shark and the rotation goes from iiight to strong

Dave roberts is the dodgers new manager lol idk what to think we needed a vet coach but anyone is better then don

i think the dodgers made the right decision with roberts

not that i like roberts better but im just not sold on kapler who is said to be some old school hard ass which is cool but i dont think he real with it -- this dude best years as a player came at the height of the steroid era, he flamed out prematurely, latched onto some good red sox teams as a specialist (kinda like dave) and i remember he somehow had his own commercial like he was the next coming of mickey mantle/5 tool player -- i remember watching it like, who is this guy

not a fan of his writing or tv work either

roberts has more experience on the bench + according to rosenthal dodgers players perceived kapler as management puppet

no brainer

If he can get the players to value base running and small ball and not just the long ball, he will be a big improvement.

yeah and i dont think hes going to be completely old school having worked with bud black who even though is considered old school was said to have had a good grasp of sabrmetrics

and that matters in baseball

Price to Boston tho lol

 

[ckfree]

robinson cano supposedly unhappy in seattle and wants to go back to ny

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Price to Boston tho lol

It's plausible.The red sox pres of baseball operations is the tigers old gm and they need an ace.

 

[MillzOG]

robinson cano supposedly unhappy in seattle and wants to go back to ny

Nope, fuck that sucka...I said from the beginning he chose the bread over winning, let him lay in that loser bed over there.

 

[MillzOG]

David Price a bitch if he goes to the Red Sox.

Smh man please don't let that happen they got some young potential superstars in that lineup and I fuckin hate it. Mookie Betts would be a real nigga if he had on the pinstripes b.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

robinson cano supposedly unhappy in seattle and wants to go back to ny

Dude is already on the decline. He should have stayed for what we was willing to offer. Now you 30+ and the realization that you're on the Seattle Mariners is hittin you? Foh

shit i read too much into it i thought he was implying something along the lines of the perception that being black from boston means letting a majority of racism slide off with a laugh or else -- price himself has said he has gotten the nastiest comments from boston fans

but on some baseball shit, yeah -- it makes sense

and i forgot about the dombrowski angle but i dont think it will matter much because i really think price is going where the money go since everybody interested in him all have a chance of winning
