The 2017 MLB Thread

[Tommy bilfiger]

The dbacks fucked the game up forever.Now teams will demand and expect a ransom for young aces cuz shelby miller is a very good pitcher but he's a #3 and they fleeced those fools.I can't imagine what sonny gray will get when the A's inevitability trade him.

 

[O.G.]

for the dodgers to acquire fernandez according to frisaro from mlb.com

joc

seager

urias

and at least two other prospects

for the red sox to land fernandez according to heyman

rodrigez

espinoza

moncada

devers

so in between that and the haul that atlanta landed for shelby miller who isnt half the pitcher fernandez is its safe to assume fernandez stays in miami for the foreseeable future

dbacks fucked it up for everybody

I would boycott the Dodgers if they make that move.

domestic violence happens every day

just normally not to million dollar closers

lol @ the meaningless overwrought intrigue of baseball juxtaposing with real life shit and a smattering of needless political correctness

the violence has already happened, matter of fact it happened like 5 weeks ago

there is a reason why shakespear wrote tragicomedies

BRING

ME

reds want tim anderson from the white sox in a trade for frazier

if the white sox want to win now (not sure why) they do it but i wouldnt because they wont win now

and i hope they dont trade for lawrie either, he is the most overrated average player in the majors especially if they have to give up any of the following

anderson

fulmer

adams

montas

engel

alfaro

this is what i think is happening

if the cubs dont get heyward a decent consolation prize would be anyone but the cardinals signing him

What's the lowdown on him? No secret the bullpen fell apart in September we need a lockdown closer.

He's a good young flame throwing closer he gets up to 99-100 mph routinely

Dicaro plugged too.Man if this shit happens I'm gonna be mega charged

edit I'd be cool if the cubs could get that inciarte cat the braves got from the dbacks too

 

[ckfree]

man heyward does check a lot of boxes

but i think the cardinals need him more

this should be interesting

Spoiler

have to wonder how much theo is keeping an eye on that ridiculous 2018 fa class knowing the financial picture may be clearer by then

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

It's between the cubs,cards and nationals for heyward and jon heyman saying heyward already has a 200 mil offer

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Regardless if the cubs get heyward or not.I've been reading cardinals sites/blogs etc for the last few days THEY SHOOK

Lol cardinal fans scared out their minds worried about what the cubs gonna do GOAT

 

[ckfree]

wouldnt be shocked if heyward signs with the nationals

teams tend to swoop in like this
