RIPPA Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 The deal Quote The Phillies have officially struck a deal to acquire righty Clay Buchholz from the Red Sox, as Jon Heyman of Fan Rag first reported (via Twitter). Second baseman Josh Tobias will be the piece going to Boston in the swap, in which Philadelphia will pick up all the remaining obligations to Buchholz, as Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer was first to report (via Twitter). Philadelphia designated just-acquired third baseman Richie Shaffer for assignment to clear roster space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair - Ed and I were talking about this last week The Mariners got 1.4 billion in 2014 (Granted it included majority ownership in the regional sports network) The Padres got $800 million in 2012 So a team with a new stadium in Miami can easily get a billion even before redoing their shitty TV deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome Miller Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 CNN just pointed out that Obama ending the policy of automatically granting asylum to Cubans who sneak into the U.S. via land routes is going to severely affect MLB, as Cuban players will now have to prove they were political dissidents facing human rights abuses in Cuba, or else they'll get shipped back.

Kind of like how I feel but people around here were getting pissed that neither he or Edwin would be coming back now they seem to be excited about this. When he's on the DL in May then lets hear what they say. I'm indifferent. The Jays need to retool and reload. They weren't winning with those guys but they also need some kind of warm body for the outfirld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesterCopperpot Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 He's flipping back! Per TSN #MLB Insider Steve Phillips: Bautista gets $18M in 2017. Could get up to $60M over 3 years with options/incentives. 14 hours ago, odessasteps said: Morosi was on the show later and they said that rumor started in Pittsburgh. That rumour came from here - http://rumbunter.com/2017/01/16/pittsburgh-pirates-toronto-blue-jays-discussed-mega-deal/ This source also told us of a ‘mega deal’ that was discussed between the two teams earlier this offseason. According to this source, the Blue Jays have tried to talk to the Pirates about a trade for both Andrew McCutchen and Tony Watson. The Blue Jays offered the Pirates a package of both prospects and Major League talent. Relief pitcher Joe Biagini was the only Major League player offered to the Pirates in the deal. Third base prospect Valdimir Guerrero Jr., pitching prospect Sean Reid-Foley, and first base prospect Rowdy Tellez. Additionally, the Blue Jays also offered old friend Harold Ramirez in these talks. Guerrero Jr., Reid-Foley, and Tellez are three of Toronto’s top nine prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If they can get out after one year its tolerable. I just see a future of DL stays for odd injuries, sour faces, arguing with umpires and being too slow to catch up to some pitchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
