Done deal.  5/$110MM.  Heavily front-loaded.

I would be up for one.  

Brett doesn't seem to realize that Quintana is no longer with the White Sox.  He doesn't have to be a homer any more.

Pace of play initiative was agreed on by players and management.  6 non-change visits to the mound per game, including those by catchers and infielders.  Going to the mound to clean one's spikes does not count as a visit. An interesting idea was proposed on MLB Network -- how about if the umpire...

For Jermaine Palacios.  Good move for the Twins.  Looks like Berrios is going to be the #1 starter for a while at least.

8 years?  Wow. I guess that is what it took for Boros to present the deal to him.

Jake Odorizzi to the Twins for minor league SS Jermaine Palacios.

I would have no problem with Lincecum in my bullpen or as an emergency starter.  

Nunez is a serviceable player at 4 positions.  He can play 2B, SS, 3B, and left.  He may not every be an all star again, but he can hold down the position for a week or 2.

I agree that there should be a soft salary floor also.  I think the players would agree to that in a heartbeat.  Perhaps that could be a chip in the owners attempt to get pace of play in the next deal.

Frazier is a decent fielder that hits homers.  He won't hit .250 and will ground into a lot of DPs.  He is a winner in the clubhouse, though.

The players allowed this to happen during the last CBA negotiations.  The pendulum has swung back to the owners' side in the negotiations.

Many teams do not like to deal with Boras, as he regularly asks for higher than market value for his clients.  He does, according to Carlos Pena, listen to the player's desires, but attempts to oversell his clients a lot.  In the case of JD Martinez, I believe this to be the case.  JD is not a...

This year's free agent class is being hurt by the fact that the big players (Yankees and Dodgers) are trying to get under the luxury tax cap to reset so they can spend next year.  I could see a few very short contracts at high AAVs being handed out to this group.  Hosmer could go back to KC at a...

Some people cannot handle the pressures.  He may just need a year or so away from the game to get it back.  

Betts' deal is the biggest arbitration award in history.  He is worth it.  The Sox would not be wrong to try to sign him long-term.

Kirby Puckett's glove.

I wouldn't be completely surprised to see a new name for the Cleveland franchise.  They were named the Indians only because their star player was a Native American and they wanted to honor him.

I think the writers missed the boat with Johan Santana dropping off the ballot after 1 year.  He will, however, go into the Twins Hall of Fame and his jersey #57 will be retired.  It always looked strange on the other guys that wore it anyway. Jim Thome is one of the great characters in baseball...

Personally, I liked the D with the tiger walking through it.  My late wife was a Tigers' fan and loved that logo. On to baseball stuff -- Yellich to the Brewers for 4 prospects, Lewis Brinson included in the deal.  Not sure the fans in South Florida will forgive yet another breakdown of the...
