2015 MLB Off-Season Thread

[Pugz]

Free agent third baseman Chase Headley has reportedly received a four-year offer in the range of $65 million, though it's unclear from which team, according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports.

Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reported earlier Thursday that the Miami Marlins have reached out to Headley and may be ready to make a significant offer.

Whoever pays Headley 16 M per year is insane. 

 

[Mexi]

If headley had a 65 mil offer hed have accepted by now

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.

oakland is doing it worse tho

Oakland didn't actually have the pieces they just overachieve every year haha

Just because you overachieve, it doesn't mean you don't have the pieces to compete...

When's the last time they won a playoff series?

2014 DUHHHH  lol 1997

They've won 278 games over the last 3 years. That's not overachieving, that's sustaining success.

Thank you.
 
Did I say they were going to win? Did I say they were better than the other teams? I said they had pieces to compete. They were, and still are, clearly not built to make a run at a World Series.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I think we're in agreement here and just are getting caught up by wording. By contending/competing, I mean for a World Series.

And dan, they made you look bad in the playoff predictions haha how are you still loyal!!

 

[elcheato]

I've been more wrong before. Pretty sure the Royals and Giants made everyone's prediction's look bad. They took the Royals to extra innings, could have been them.

Yanks working on 3-team deal for Gregorius

Sweeny Murti of WFAN reports that the Yankees are working on a three-team deal with the Diamondbacks and Tigers which would land them shortstop Didi Gregorius.

And to think that's the guy they felt was worth it to give up on Trevor Bauer at the age of 22. I ain't complaining though
