So only Phillies and Nats are without managers.

If you had to guess, who goes where?

Phillies - Manny Acta
Nats - Dave Martinez

 

[hockeykicker]

Nats will interview Dave Martinez on Wednesday and it doesn't sound like they interviewing anyone else

About time Martinez gets his chance.

Oh man Kevin Long now. I sense this will end real well for Mets fans if he ends up there. I'm inclined to think one way or the other he does. Either as manager or hitting coach. It sounds from most of the Nats fans I know that they do not expect Murphy will be signed after this year so I don't know how much leverage he really has as far as the Long endorsement

Yup.

 

[hockeykicker]

sounds like joe girardi is out in new york but just rumors right now

 

[robert terwilliger]

if i were girardi i'd tell them 6 years/60 million and tell them to go kick rocks otherwise.

the amount of shit that guy got was astounding.

Cubs literally in a golden age for anybody's living memory of this franchise, and Theo making major coaching moves. Team clearly not resting on laurels and wants another ring or two out of this core. Bold.

 

[hockeykicker]

Mike Maddux named cards pitching coach

 

[hockeykicker]

also sounds like chris bosio is going to detroit

 

[hockeykicker]

Oh great, so the one run we lost by haha

 

[MMC]

 

[Terry Yake]

shocked that maddux didn't get hired somewhere as a manager

 

[bambamcam4ever]

Nah. Torre's in the wrong here.

The rules don't apply to the Cubs.

Bruce Maxwell, the only Major League Baseball player to kneel during the national anthem this season, has been arrested on a gun charge.
The Oakland Athletics catcher allegedly pointed a gun at a female food delivery person in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Scottsdale police said officers went to Maxwell's home Saturday night after getting a call about a person with a gun. Maxwell was booked on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and disorderly conduct.

First arrest of the off season

Stanton, Dee Gordon and Prado all expected to be playing elsewhere next year.

Marlins trying to clip payroll below 90 million.

 

[robert terwilliger]

at least they'll have wei-yin chen.

 

[MMC]

Marlins will be absolutely abysmal to watch.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Booooooooooooo.

 

[DougieSmash]

Tanaka staying.

 

[PanthersPens62]

Booooooooooooo.

Yeah, it sucks, but we were prepared for this. Just grateful that he got his 3000th MLB hit as a Marlin. Thanks for 3 great seasons in a Marlins uniform Ichiro!

I wasn't even though I'm not a Marlins fan. I thought considering he had to pinch hit almost every game, he did okay. I also thought he was a fan favorite, and $2M isn't that much for an MLB team. But anything to save a penny, I guess.

Blue Jays decline Bautista's option: http://www.tsn.ca/blue-jays-decline-bautista-s-option-1.905875

Where is he going to end up or will he retire? I think he will retire.
