2016 MLB Season Thread

I agree. He's even overtaken Trout in WAR now too.
 
The NL is Bryant, Seager, Nolan in that order for me. 
 
AL is probably Altuve, Trout, Betts in that order.

and JD

They love to say that everyone is placed on waivers and teams just pull them back

But i just refuse to believe nolan arenado or christian Yelich etc are put on waivers

 

[Mexi]

Puig was put on waivers
Braun cleared

Im gonna predict a swap...

 

[elcheato]

i guarantee that does not happen 

 

[Mexi]

I only say it cause rosenthal said the brewers and dodgers talked braun
And the brewers have a chance to claim Puig early

Im just doing my normal shit talk leave me alone

 

[Mexi]

Trumbo with 40 already.
Whats his contract looking like and what team

Guarantee the Orioles won't pony up haha.
 
Watch the play Manny just made btw. Threw an absolute dart to first from his knee. He's absolutely absurd

 

[Mexi]

Will they pony up for manny lol

If not #futureyankee

 

[bosoxlover12]

They probably would spend for Machado -- at least I would hope


Also the Sox, Cubs, and Dodgers are just as likely to spend all their money on Machado as the Yankees are

I think they would pony up for Manny, I think it'll just be a matter of whether or not he wants to stay here.

 

[elcheato]

Machado to the Celtics? 

 

[Pugz]

Puig was put on waivers
Braun cleared

Im gonna predict a swap...

i thought puig was all world

 

[Mexi]

Anyone else think the cubs play bryant at lots of positions to bump up his war?

Normal teams would force javy baez to play lf, not bryant. Or let javy play 2nd and put zobrist in the outfield

But nope. Gotta let your mvp play every position

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Machado to the Celtics? 

For crowder and a 1st. Can't trade smart

 

[elcheato]

I hate the Indians announcers, god they're terrible. 

 

[JZsportswhiz]

I don't see how you can give MVP to anyone BUT Kris Bryant
Sorry Murph, Nolan and Seager

Should be unanimous

It's all about getting the best matchups against the opposing SP. Allows Maddon to shuffle the OF and Baez it when necessary. Just speaks to Bryant's athleticism

2019 is going to be the best FA class in history. Harper, Machado, Donaldson, Kershaw, Jose Fernandez, McCutchen, Price, Keuchel all could be available, then there's all the other guys. 

They probably would spend for Machado -- at least I would hope


Also the Sox, Cubs, and Dodgers are just as likely to spend all their money on Machado as the Yankees are

All the big markets going to land at least one massive fish that class.
