2016-2017 Offseason Thread

[Phil The Thrill]

I know. Good defense (but its at first) and leaves so much to be desired at the plate

Strong buzz for moreland to Red Sox. Would let Hanley play DH full time, where he could mash again. 
 
Obviously won't replace Papi's bat, but Sale helps ease the need for offense. 
 
Really starting to wonder where Edwin goes tho. Red Sox haven't been in the mix. Jays are reportedly out. Astros are likely out with their signings. Guess that leaves mainly Cleveland and Texas. But can cleveland make that financial commitment (even with their increases in revenue from making the WS)?

jon daniels apparently won't spend a lot of money on a 1B/DH. 

 

[elcheato]

Can we has Encarnacion? 

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Sounds like Wade Davis is close to being traded to Cubs.
 
Guess they'll be out on Chapman/Jansen

 

[CameronCrazy06]

WOW

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I love winter meetings

 

[Teagz]

Damn all of my least favorite AL Central players are gonna be out of the division by the end of week.

 

[JZsportswhiz]

Rays getting a great deal on Ramos

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Davis trade hit a snag with Nationals involved.

 

[BrewCrewFan]

^Dubon is a decent prospect. No one really loves Shaw. He can be frustrating af, and just doesn't fit in the future. Pennington is a throw in.
 
Also Moreland to the Sox is official.

Yeah Dubon is the prize of the deal

Thornburg is solid but he has history of arm injuries so it's good the Brewers sold high on him

 

[Mexi]

Wade davis for soler wow

 

[JZsportswhiz]

Rockies getting Ian Desmond. Wouldn't be surprised if they got Edwin now that they've already bit on the QO compensation 
 
Nevermind apparently Desmond is gonna play 1B. Rangers might get him though since they have the Rockies pick now

 

[elcheato]

Royals are getting fleeced in this Wade Davis deal given what other top shelf relievers have been traded for/are signing for 

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Adam Eaton looks DC bound

They asked for Schwarber lol

So it wasn't for a lack of effort

 

[Mexi]

What gets me with the marlins

Is people are saying if they get kenley they could trade ramos

Wtf? Isnt the point to have a super pen?
Btw their pen is already good. Signing kenley is such a waste

 

[Mexi]

Im just glad kenley isnt going to the cubs
Everyone predicted that and i was worried
Or giants

If he goes to the Marlins? Who cares lol

That means we'll grab greg holland and/or david robertson

If the marlins are really offering 80, take it Kenley

Hopefully that means we keep Turner and maybe trade for Dozier

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Offer was on the table for Giolito+ for McCutchen.

twins need to sell high on dozier.

The White Sox are such a poorly run franchise. They spent all that money just to never compete and blow it all up within 3 or 4 years.

They didn't spend that much.
two, they just became studs with their minors
