dc radio is saying realmuto to dc is gaining steam

Robles would be a great get for Miami.

Seems like it's around Juan soto fwiw

 

[BMOK33]

If they didn’t give up Robles for a reliever last year there is no way they should be giving him up for Realmuto now

 

[tony d]

Realmuto would be a very good pickup for Washington, Yelich and Cain are excellent pickups for the Brewers and probably make the Brewers a wild card team in 2018.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

I like Realmuto a lot but I think the the Nats have to look ahead to when Harper likely leaves. Gonna need the young guys to step up.

 

[Terry Yake]

once realmuto is dealt it'll be the miami justin bours

 

[hockeykicker]

Guess he ain't going to DC then

I'd rather give up Robles for Realmuto than a reliever. Realmuto is a good player.

realmuto caught hanging sheets out the window to get out of there.

Machado to SS is confirmed.

Scrooge McAngelos is a moron and pretty much sucks at being an owner but I think Duquette has the brains not to waste anyones time.

At this point the remaining free agents should form their own expansion team.

 

[tony d]

Yeah, loads of great talent still out there. Spring training starts soon so I expect some movement soon.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

At this point the remaining free agents should form their own expansion team.

You could probably make 2 somewhat competitive teams out of the remaining FAs.

According to multiple sources and reports, the Marlins covet either of Washington's top two ranked prospects -- outfielders Victor Robles and Juan Soto. MLB Pipeline on Saturday unveiled its Top 100 Prospects list, and Robles ranked sixth, while Soto came in 29th.
Sources say neither prospect is available, and the Nationals instead are open to a package that would center around shortstop Carter Kieboom and right-hander Erick Fedde. The two are third and fourth, respectively, on Washington's Top 30 Prospect list. MLB Pipeline listed Kieboom 90th on the Top 100 ranking.

Aoki returns to Japan on a 3 year deal.

Kevin Towers, who guided the San Diego Padres to the World Series, dies at 56

... damn. He was in consideration for some of the recent openings. What he did with the Padres was outstanding and it sucks he wont be able to see Hoffmans induction (even if he isn't worthy of a spot in Cooperstown).

Gonna miss those 2-strike bunt attempts.

Damn, that sucks. I had no idea that he even was sick.

Arguably their most successful run came under him, had the WS in 98 and then those late 2000's teams. Developed solid players like Peavey, Gonzo, Headley etc

Damn, that sucks. I had no idea that he even was sick.

Neither did I, his name was in the discussions for the recent front office openings. & tbh, I thought he was in his 60's.
