Damn, 8 mil for Garcia, damn they must be hard up in Toronto, that guy will have a hard time in the AL East.

Yeah...TB, Baltimore, and Toronto will all be a shell of their fomer selves...and unless Boston's starting pitching does not improve over last year I don't see them being much of a challenge either...the Sox have several question marks.

...Eduardo Nunez signs 1 year deal with the Red Sox.

...Eduardo Nunez signs 1 year deal with the Red Sox.

I always liked Eddie.... I remember his cap falling off every time he ran the bases.

 

[Lillie]

Scott Boras is pushing for a Mike Moustakas to The Yankees Deal as per Bronx Bombers Beat.

Yeah, if the Yanx were going to sign a FA 3Bman, I'd probably take Nunez over Moose all things considered.

...if Boras is pimping Moose for a one year deal it would come as a surprise to me because Boras doesn't usually go that route...but then again, it's been an unusual off season for FAs so far.


EDIT: I just read the article and Moose says he won't accept anything less than the $17.4 qualifying offer that was made by the Royals...sorry Moose, but you should have taken that QO when you had the chance. Considering the Yanx would also have to give up a draft pick just for signing Moose for ONE year...


...No thanks.

 

[Lillie]

Aaron Boone said either Aaron Judge or Giancarlo Stanton will Bat 2nd as per Bronx Bombers Beat.

 

[Lillie]

Gleyber Torres is Healthy and expected to play in Spring Training as per Jon Heyman.

 

[Lillie]

Rangers will not sign Seung-Hwan Oh as per Jon Heyman.

 

[Messiah717]

Hosmer to the Padres for eight years. Opt out after five.

Hosmer to the Padres for eight years. Opt out after five.

Good deal for both Hosmer and the Padres...front end loaded deal with an AAV of $18 Mil. Hoss is one of the better all around 1Bmen in the game.

But wow, those Royals teams of just a couple of years ago are slowly being decimated by free agency. Wonder if they'll try to resign Moustakas now?

 

[Yankeefan5545]

I'm really surprised that Boston did not make a serious run for Hosmer early on. Ah well, their loss.

 

[Lillie]

Angels sign Chris Young to a 1 Year Deal as per Jon Heyman.

For any of you who were not already convinced that the Mets' Sandy Alderson is not insane, I offer you this;

[Mattingly23NY]

here's an interesting historical stat:

More men have walked on the Moon (12), than scored against Mo' in Post Season (11)....

this is almost enough to make me become thankful with our GM..... well maybe not!!! Let me rephrase that: I'm thankful Alderson is on the other side of NY...

I've always liked machado's game offensively and defensively, but I am not sure this is or will be a proper move on the Yanks part...

 

[Lillie]

Red Sox sign J.D. Martinez as per Jon Heyman.

 

[Lillie]

J.D. Martinez Deal is 5 Years 11o Million with opt out after 2 Years as per Jon Morosi.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

I'm hoping Andyjar is successful to the point that Machado is not needed in New York. Note to Bryce Harper, Stanton, Judge, Hicks, and Frazier are 4 reasons to seek employment elsewhere.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

damn, I was hoping somehow he wind up in pinstripes....

yeah, personally, I'm not that bullish on Machado either.

Report: Diamondbacks acquire Steven Souza from Rays in part of three-team deal

 

[Lillie]

Yankees get Brandon Drury from the Diamondbacks as per Bryan Hoch.

 

[Messiah717]

Yankees get Brandon Drury from the Diamondbacks as per Bryan Hoch.

Solid addition for infield debth.

The Tampa Team is dropping personnel like flies. Though team ownership/management were talking a move to Ybor City and a new stadium I'd have some doubts. The cost for flex roof stadium will be astronomical, and though a new Stadium would be tops, the team needs to draw fans and we've seen how that works. Instead of making a 25 mile move to Ybor City, they be better off moving to perhaps Charlotte NC.
