Non-Pirates Baseball Thread

[MWB]

I got your sarcasm, I was just trying to play off it.

How on earth did the Indians pull of getting Stubbs and Bauer for Choo?

The D-Backs are going to need to fire their general manager, they've unloaded Parker and Bauer in back to back offseasons for meager return.

[beerman]

Yah that trade just doesn't make sense from Arizona's pov. Given the return for Bauer I'm surprised they haven't given Upton away already.

I think Arizona is pissed about Bauer's character. I guess he's a big me first guy....Cleveland's win.

Arizona is great at accumulating prospects, and then unloading the good ones in terrible trades (see carlos gonzales)

That is definitely contrary to the Pirates who don't produce any talent and over value them if anyone talks trade.

[Troy Loney]

that's relatively accurate.

Apparantly the Angels are about to sign Hamilton....jfc. MLB needs to do something about these broadcasting rights because this is getting really absurd, really quick.

5yr/120mil allegedly.

[Kraftster]

The Angels? Meh...

[shafnutz05]

And that is why baseball is such a joke anymore.

That is an insane contract to give to someone with the baggage he has. Good lawd man

5/125

Torii Hunter is pissed. Apparently Angels management told him that they couldn't sign him because they didn't have the money, but somehow pulled $25 mil/yr out of their ***.

@toriihunter48

I was told money was tight but I guess the Arte had money hidden under a Mattress. Business is business but don't lie.

Geez who has Mike Trout in the lgp keeper league? 200 runs next year

Have money, must spend.

Red Sox sign Dempster to 2yr deal

[ulf]

i wonder if the angels are too mainstream for hipster cj wilson yet

[Alejandro Rojas]

Red Sox sign Dempster to 2yr deal

The Sawx are just trolling Southie...

[pittsports87]

Angels are gonna set the runs record next year. Trout, Pujols, and Hamilton are 3 of the top 10 (if not top 5) most dangerous hitters in all of baseball.

[Troy Loney]

Wow, Tigers just gave Anibal Sanchez 5 years 80 Million.

I will say, that every immovable contract another team in MLB makes is a benefit for the Pirates. The more AJ Burnett situations the better (guys not living up to their contract and being run out of town)

[Letang Is The Truth]

[Troy Loney]

probably the most ludicrous contract since the Jayson Werth deal.

Must be nice to be able to sign a guy to 5/80 and have him be your 4th starter.

Until your unable to sign your number 2 and 3 guys cause they want to use Sanchez as their benchmark....or you end up having to swing deals to get under the luxury tax.

[thehockeyguru]

The luxury cap is around 180M i believe. I dont think the Tigers are anywhere near that.

[ulf]

Their problems will come when scherzer, verlander and miggy want paid.
