The names in the Mitchell report were never supposed to be released to the public.  Unfortunately, someone leaked quite a few of them.

David Ortiz was mentioned in the Mitchell Report also. The "clear" was supposed to be an undetectable steroid.  

I'll be away from home when #4 and 5 come up.  I would like to vote for Dozier at #5.

89 votes in.   Vlad, Hoffman, Chipper, Edgar, and Thome have over 75% on these ballots.  Bonds, Clemens, Mussina and Schilling are close.

Those are 3 of the best 3Bs in the game.  Longo is still better than average defensively.

I should have put a question mark in the title.  There is a whole lot of buzz about this and the deal reportedly centers around Clint Frazier.  The Pirates are allegedly asking for a top ranked pitching prospect in return as well. The Yankees really don't have to make this deal, and neither do...

Boras always gets his clients signed, sometimes at a bit lower AAV than he might have wanted initially.  He will find his clients jobs and at a reasonable AAV.

It depends on how much 2 teams that are fighting for playoff spots want him.

Hmmmmm........

.30 per dollar over $197MM. I don't believe any weapons were brandished during any of the salary negotiations, so they knew they would have to pay the tax.

 DJ LeMahieu, due to his offensive consistency and his defense.

He is still athletic enough to play in SF and he will get a chance to play every day.

If they reset their salary, they can avoid paying a whole lot in luxury taxes next year.  They will pay .30 for every dollar they go over the threshold the way it is now.  If they can reset they will pay less than .10.

One less potential landing spot for Moustakis.

This will diminish his trade value somewhat.

They are, in the words of an MLB Network guest, assembling the best "Old-timers" roster in the history of baseball.

Way too early to call Bellinger the 5th best 1B in baseball.  He may become the best, but he isn't there yet.

Yes they can do better, but not at the price Frazier will need.

Moreland is not a power hitter, but he is usually good for 20-25 homers a year.  He can field pretty well, too.
