The more I think about it, the true bargain is Yonder Alonso at 2/$18M

I agree completely.

First team to offer 8 wins.

And, apparently one from the Royals for slightly more money.

Three titles are all luck?  I can see maybe one of them, but all three?

Waiting for Darvish or Arrieta to sign. Cardinals and Cubs both have offers to Arrieta, Cubs supposedly is at 4/$110. I'd still prefer Darvish but I wouldn't mind a 4 year deal for Arrieta.
 
This has been a wild offseason, it seems like teams are collectively being risk adverse with these contracts

Double post my bad

Slightly related - Matt Cain's collapse baffles me.

Red Sox had an offer of Yasiel Puig for JBJ and declined it

Good move. Puig is a jerk and a clubhouse headcase. He would destroy Boston.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Yeah cant say Im too heartbroken it didnt go through.

Red Sox are fucking dumb. So needy on offense and they decline a trade for a guy who has a power stroke JBJ can only wet dream of. I dont get the obsession with JBJs defense. Hes great in the field but he cant fucking hit. They also dont need JBJ in the OF as much as they need another power bat in the order.

And all this talk about Puigs attitude... Hanley Ramirez is the same guy. And speaking of Hanley, consider what they Dodgers got out of Puig & Hanley in he same lineup.
