If that kid is actually 14, pretty impressive that he broke the Pablo and Hanley deals.

Reminds me of incarcerated Bob. Right 9% of the time.

lmao

 

[Teagz]

It's almost as if we shouldn't trust a 14 year old with a twitter account.

not sure if legit but i wouldnt be surprised.
 
i think the al east is pretty much back.

 

[bosoxlover12]

so not shocking lol
 
 
he's literally an a-typical yankee. overachieving pitcher, signing for more than he's worth.

 

[Pugz]

knew that'd happen for the last three years

 

[RipCity32]

Patiently waiting for the Tigers to do something.

Apparently the O's are going to let Markakis go too.
 
Have no idea where this team is going

 

[snipezo]

Medlen and Beachy non-tendered by the braves.

Medley would be a good low risk pickup for any team IMO.

They aren't willing to go more than 4 yrs with him, I think.

I don't blame em.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Markakis is steady. He's not the best player in the world but he's so consistent and I don't think his skills would regress with age. On top of that he's an amazing right fielder. I'll be really upset when we let him go.

 

[Logistix]

Apparently the Braves are pursuing Markakis.
 
I guess I'm ok with that. Not as talented as Heyward, and older, but the production has been relatively the same.
 
Also, since the Braves are apparently rebuilding, I would imagine Kimbrel to see the door as well.

#Mariners have traded OF Michael Saunders to #BlueJays for LHP J.A. Happ, according to a source. More to come at http://t.co/gtnhE8SFiG

sick, another hole filled.


i really wonder what happened to anthopolous for the past 2 years, because he's been incredible this off-season.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Markakis to the Braves. Enjoy him

 

[snipezo]

O's will be fine, CC

I know sox and jays have done their part trying to upgrade, but it's still early in the offseason and I bet you a healthy Machado and Wieters make a huge difference.

They're always going to be competitive, regardless.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

We won't make the playoffs next year

 

[snipezo]

Meh. You never know.

Baseball is so random sometimes.

 

[The Guid]

Meh. You never know.

Baseball is so random sometimes.

And to that point, there was a chance the O's might not have made it at all if the Sox and Yankees were healthy and didn't suck.
 
Point is, it's only December

 

[CameronCrazy06]

It just bugs me that the front office has the pieces of a contender in home and just let's it go for no reason. We have the money to pay these guys and choose not to.
