LeBron > JD Martinez?

LeBron > JD Martinez?

The point is its comical how long it takes for top free agents in the MLB to sign - even this winter I guarantee Harper & Machado will take their sweet time.

Fielder didn't sign until mid/late January.

lol ok this is fun, another injury to the nats starting pitchers. sooner or later this injury bug goes to another team right? right??

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Hurray for more frantic trading!

It will be interesting to see if he takes on more of a 'build the farm' approach now that he has security.

I guess the easy answer here is Nutting doesn't give a rats ass about the team.

All Star break next week, they have the final vote this week, I voted for Jesus Aguilar from the NL and Eddie Rosario from the AL.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Probably out until 2020 now.

Should have gotten it done in May 2016 instead of doing what he did.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The big 3 is OUT.

Luckily Correa should be back late this week.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

He might not be ready for October with this tibia stress fracture. Distressing news for the Indians.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Very well deserved, obviously.

NBA stars are locked in at a max amount, MLB have to actually negotiate. Scott Boras is Martinez's agent. Not sure why Jayson Stark is confused.

Thats a good pick up for Atlanta.

 

[Canes]

Surprised at Lucas Duda being in the league, but thinks Rene Rivera, a 3rd catcher who probably won't be around after September, is a "good" pickup.

Can't make up these kind of takes any more random than that.

Imagine Scott Boras negotiating NBA contracts.

Or Auston Matthews'.

 

[Cassano]

I mean it's pretty obvious...

He's going to the Cardinals!

 

[Dr Pepper]

He's going to the Cardinals!

Possible, if he likes it in the NL.

Donaldson will be a free agent as well, if the Cards are still intent on chasing him. Guy's got negative value right now, though.

 

[Preds Partisan]

There was a fight in the booth?

 

[Dr Pepper]

There was a fight in the booth?

Lol I read about this earlier today, apparently they fought over a chair, then one guy put the other in a choke hold.

I'm sure they're just the best of buds!

Mets are apparently interested in Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro

Of course the Mets are interested in Mark Shapiro

Perfect fit

Do it Mets. Take Atkins with him as well. I could run the Jays better than these chumps. The bungling of the JD situation has to be one of the worst in a long time.
