Zero. Percent. Chance.

Hanley Ramirez minor league deal with CLE; Jose Iglesias in Cincinnati's camp

 

[Seidenbergy]

Good for Arenado. Damn.

Sources: Arenado, Rockies finalizing $260M deal


I'm guessing Harper will be signed in the next few days by some desperate team who thought they had a shot at Arenado as a FA next year.

Kind of surprised Iglesias is on a minor league contract. His biggest knock was hitting and he went to Detroit and hit.... career .270 hitter + elite defense? I've been out of the loop with baseball for a while, and really only follow it casually now. Maybe he's not as good as it would appear?

He is injured every year for a minimum of 20 games or more.

He's a decent player -- if he makes the team it's $2.5M + incentives. He may have overplayed his hand looking for a multi-year contract?

Thoughts to Blake Swihart and his family

 

[JRull86]

Uhhhh.....okay then.

 

[McGarnagle]

I feel like that's going to end in an ugly way.

But I like when the Phils are relevant, their lineup is going to be legit.

 

[EverettMike]

I. Don't. Get. That.

depends which version of Harper they get

.330 avg
.243 avg
.319 avg
.249 avg

his last 4 seasons.

WAR of 10.0, 1.5, 4.7, 1.3

Mookie Betts and his agent must be drooling right about now.

The phils might be realigned into the redsox’s division within the contract years

 

[CDJ]

13 years in Philadelphia is a death sentence

I don't see it happening. That proposal was extreme and if Manfred pursues it, he's completely out of touch. It'll kill the competitiveness of Philly and Washington, it'll ruin the Mets' market share in the city, and overall will screw up a lot.

Zero chance.

You're not kidding.

 

[Centrum Hockey]

Zero chance.

MLB has wanted to do it since selig MLB Realignment: A Look Back At A Previous, Horrible Proposal

 

[CDJ]

I was gonna politely request that John Henry give Mookie 10/350 so this contract doesn’t phase me in the slightest

 

[Don Cherry]

Mookie Betts and his agent must be drooling right about now.

Mookie will get 15 years 450 mil. Book it.

 

[CDJ]

Mejia’s stuff looked legit today. Hopefully he’s done sticking needles in his ass because he could be a big addition

 

[chizzler]

25 mil average. Less than I thought. How many teams were really in on him. Big risk on a guy that can be explosive and yet barely average.

So let’s hop on the stupid train!
