Death From Above Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Does Rogers have a huge stake in the Canadian mobile market too? Or is that some thing through their cable junk as well. The Canadian mobile market is basically a Big Three with Rogers, Telus, and Bell. Rogers and Bell both also own massive TV conglomerates, Rogers with Sportsnet and Bell with TSN as far as sports goes. Canada has some wacky "protect Canadian company" rules that I get why they exist given who we've got to the south but they really don't do a ton for consumers in terms of price controls.

Joe Lucia Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 The Tigers are in such payroll hell in the future that they might as well dig themselves even deeper and hope everyone can stay glued together. But hey, maybe Jordan Zimmermann will help Justin Verlander pitch like an ace again, and will help Anibal Sanchez stay healthy, and will help Detroit's perennially awful bullpen not suck!

Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Where is my $90 per month going to, if not to resign Price? To pay for that far too lavish NHL rights deal and to employ the 50 or so talking heads they have sitting around talking puck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Johnny Cueto turned down a 6 year, $120 million dollar deal from the D-backs I guess Cueto just really doesn't like Arizona because he's not getting a better offer. Honestly, Arizona dodged a bullet a here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Marc Anthony (the singer and former Mr. Jennifer Lopez) has opened a sports wing of its entertainment company and their first client is Aroldis Chapman. Sadly they actual have real agents (Barry Praver and Scott Shapiro) who will handle the sports side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Chris Young signs a "multi-year deal" with the Red Sox. So, which outfielder is getting traded and for what? I have to think that Dombrowski has something planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I had been hearing Bradley to the Cubs rumors earlier this month, could make sense in theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'm iffy on trading Bradley. He showed a lot of defensive skill in the last month of the season so I'd want to keep him around. But trading him also makes sense because his stock might be at its highest now. I just hope we're getting a good pitcher back for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grilledcheese Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Talk out of ATL is that there is a pretty big market for Shelby Miller, both LAD and SFG have inquired and apparently ATL was asking for Joc Pederson in return, no idea if there were any sort of names kicked around in the talks with SF. Pederson seems like a pretty steep price for a guy that has shown to be about an average pitcher on pretty much every facet of the position. If I were in the conversation to deal an OF, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be the youngest, cheapest and best defender of my saleable assets. Granted, Carl Crawford for Shelby Miller is the kind of deal that gets you laughed at, but Ethier plus a prospect or two might be the kind of thing that could work.

Dolfan in NYC Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I leave for one week, and all you guys can talk about is dolphin phallus and copulation. I am glad I didn't take the wifi package on my cruise. The Bonds deal from what I understand is a hitting 'consultant'. But whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Andre plus De Leon or Zach Lee plus some $$ to cover Ethier's deal to bring in a middle ground MLB SP, which is what Miller is and should continue to be. I don't disagree that neither CC or Andre is particularly attractive on their own, but LAD has got some decent depth in the farm beyond Urias, Jharel Cotton or Cody Bellinger could be attractive to a team like ATL that isn't really going to be in the upper division anytime soon.

Joe Lucia Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Your logic is essentially "I don't think this guy is too great, so I'm willing to give you a shitty contract and some cash along with maybe a top five prospect in our system for him". The Braves are demanding a player like Pederson, Ozuna, Severino, or Pollock as *part* of the return for Miller. I think you're vastly underestimating how good he is.
