I doubt it with the Mariners super easy schedule coming up. They'll be in it.

Someone has to want a veteran lefty 1B/DH?

Probably not.

23 mill option for next season with 10 mill buyout. Has 9 teams on his no trade list.

I am assuming Phillies would eat the $ for the rest of the season and buyout.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Indians might be a fit for Ruiz.

Or they could put melted cheese on the contract and Howard would eat it himself.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Howard has been hot lately and was still under the mendoza line as of the series against the Cards last weekend. That's how terrible he is.

 

[robert terwilliger]

that extension was a joke before the ink was dry.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Subway must have loved paying all that money to promote Howard and Jared Fogle at the same time....must be why their sandwiches are all bread and lettuce.

That 1 poster that tried justifying it.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Philly, eating contracts. Just call Mac.

Meh...Still better than Jimmy John's

Which doesn't say much at all lol

their actual slogan is "it may not be edible but at least it's fast!"

 

[MurrayBannerman]

I like Jimmy John's. Was best choice for my scouting days.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Remember the awful Howard for Pujols trade rumor ESPN or someone tried to drum up that one time?

Meh...Still better than Jimmy John's

but not better than D'Angelos.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

This is so not news.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

He'll be an 'A' next year.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

He'll be a JAY next year.

fixed

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

fixed

Take him lol.

It's just such an A's move.

Maybe I'm just hooked on his tools and potential but I have to think this guy turns it around and bounces back somewhere in the realm of where he was when he burst into the league. Young and cheap contract too. It would be a classic A's move though. Jays will need outfielders next year though. Bautista shouldn't be playing the field anymore even if he does re-sign and Saunders is for sure gone. That leaves Pillar and Upton Jr.

Haven't seen any improvements as far as plate discipline goes since he's entered the league.
