The 2017 MLB Thread

Real talk

I'm in shock still and it's gonna take a few days to get over the fact that the last game we laid an egg and didn't fight at all in an other wise classic series. Bad way to go out. Stranding a million base runners and having the game basically be over in the first ten minutes. Smh

for real i understand if we lost cuz we couldn't get runners or hits but we had them on bases in the first 4 innings makes it even more worst this is the 4th year in a row the bats failed us and roberts put doubt in the players since he panic in game 2 smh

Which World Series was more entertaining? This one? Or last years?

 

[ckfree]

game 7 was the most boring shit ever

we got spoiled by the back and forth of games 1-6

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

It's hot stove season.I Expect the cubs to sign alex cobb, wade davis and arrieta can bounce it's been real.

I think happ or schwarber will get traded.Besides that I have no idea what they'll do, if the harper rumors have life theo may not spend much dough this winter

edit and I think the red sox sign either hosmer or jd martinez

the union believes the mechanism to get otani to the majors would move much quicker if he picked an agent certified by the association because he will sign a minor league deal and not immediately be on a 40 man roster — otani does not have to select a certified agent but he has been sorting through possibilities and the expectation is he will pick someone

i read the strongest industry buzz is scott boras is the front-runner

 

[ckfree]

in other unrelated but related otani news

theres speculation otani might express interest in smaller market teams with fan bases that havent known success — thats a huge part of where the speculation regarding san diego and seattle having elevated odds of landing him comes from and it all stems of otani years back going to a smaller high school rather than the local super team

sounding like otani a real one to me

but it will be interesting to see if he and his hero/idol yu darvish have a conversation and decide which team they would BOTH like to go to

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Tanaka opted in.

 

[AggieLean.]

Braves still under investigation and awaiting punishment for that international shit. Other than that, they’ve been linked to that Royals 3rd base free agent and said to be the most likely landing spot. I hope so.

They need to move Markakis or Kemp also. Acquire more prospects

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

The Cardinals have been linked to Giancarlo Stanton in trade speculation since the summer, and now Peter Gammons of GammonsDaily.com writes that the Cards are reportedly willing to offer the Marlins “one of their best young pitchers” in a Stanton trade, provided that Miami covers some of the $295MM remaining on the slugger’s enormous contract.

Frisco where you at.Fuck man I don't' need this

 

[ckfree]

giants will probably sign a couple of the over 30 outfielders just in time to overpay for their declining years

cain or bruce

sound like the kinda guys SF would sign for five years at 18 million a year or something

they just got out of the 21 million a year they had been paying matt cain

they will be looking to waste it on someone
