Arenado to St.Louis rumors, nature is healing.

3 years in a row this rumour has now popped up.

Right, I’m not gonna hold my breath

I imagine if it happens it's gonna be Nolan Gorman, a lesser prospect or two and the Rockies taking back Fowler or Carpenter to offset some money. Along with the Rockies chipping some money. Similar to the Stanton trade.

Apparently Rockies aren't interested in taking on salary. Prospects or young players.

Really starting to hate the MLBPA.

Minus the 'starting to'.

4 million extra bobbleheads? 2020's lost MLB giveaways could be a jackpot for fans

Jed Lowrie is back with the A’s for the 3rd time. Hopefully he can stay on the field.

i figured he'd find his way back eventually. low-risk signing that could end up paying off if he's healthy

now bring back cespedes to DH

You always know the Mets are having a bad offseason when they start making up rumors for A’s stars to please their fans. Chappy has 3 years of control left, so unless the steM plan on giving up all their best prospects they ain’t getting shit.

 

[Terry Yake]

i like this trade for the A's. neuse was always a trade piece since he was blocked at 3B and kolarek looks to be a solid bullpen add

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

This better be arm 1!of 2 for the bullpen. They still need a reliable righty.

kolarek should definitely be an upgrade over mcfarland

shane greene would be a nice add

Not sure where to put this, but man...

I always thought Tony Gwynn was a bit overrated because he really had no power element to his game and the last 8-9 years of his career he was getting out of shape so his defence and running wasn’t very good but man oh man, the things he was good at he was goddamned elite at. Getting hits and getting on base. And it seemed like he really really hated to strike out because he only would do it once every 24 at bats. Just crazy.

He’s Pete Rose with human decency and respect for the game.
