evilwaldo Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Tomas is flying to the US to meet with his agent. Rumors are that a deal might be signed this weekend. The Phillies are all-in here and there are rumors of 3 or 4 dark horse candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Mann Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Giancarlo Mike Stanton and the Marlins are close to a 13-year, 325M extension. Over/under on Stanton being traded: July 30, 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 The contract is gonna have an NTC and an opt-out, so don't hold your breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 GOOD. I hope Loria has to pay every penny. Even if it means David Sampson has to be a rent boy on Collins. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I'm not a Marlins fan, but for MLB to continue to thrive, home grown superstars need to stay put. That a notorious cheapskate has to pay thru the nose is just a bonus. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 He'll waive his no-trade when Loria has a firesale on the rest of the roster in 2017... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Jeremy Hellickson to the Diamondbacks for a couple of young prospects. Good move for both sides - Arizona strengthens their rotation (which was a bit shaky last year, even with Shipley/Bradley coming up), the Rays clear payroll, boost their farm system, clear a rotation spot.

Gonzo Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 The reports now are the Stanton/Marlins talks are now for 12 years, $320 million Stolen from Twitter, apropos of nothing: When Stanton's contract runs out, the New York Mets will still have nine more years that they have to pay Bobby Bonilla. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 The reports are that the opt-out will be after the 2019 season - so it is basically a 5 year deal with a 8 year player option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Cubs sent Arodys Vizcaino to Atlanta for Tommy La Stella and three international signing bonus slots. I was really hoping to see Vizcaino work out of the Cubs bullpen this year, but I can't complain about the return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Don't listen to what Braves homers might tell you - La Stella is a bench player at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillThompson Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 That's most likely the role they are hoping he'll fill. That or be another trade piece for Hamels if they go down that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
