padres are sending 'about $17m' of the $32m left on gyorko's contract lolol
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 8 December 2015 16:17 (eight years ago) link
dang. so really the cardinals are getting him for 4 years/$15m, then. sounds even better to me, especially if he ends up with significant playing time due to injuries

well, rosenthal now says the padres are only sending like $9m. either way, it seems somewhat reasonable. i should back off the twitter but i'm bored at work
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 8 December 2015 16:24 (eight years ago) link
$17MM sounded a little outlandish.

Dodgers, Arizona, Yamkees and 'mystery team' talking to Miami about Fernandez
"He's not available," Hill told the Miami Herald on Monday. "We haven't made him available. But it doesn't stop the phone calls from coming."
Sources, however, said the team felt it was making progress toward a trade with an unidentified club. On Tuesday, sources who had previously described any deal as being still unlikely were no longer willing to say that.

@BenLindbergh 16mWriting up my contrarian take on why trading his top prospect for a starter with a lousy W-L record makes Dave Stewart the ultimate saber GM

I still have trouble believing that somebody let Dave Stewart be a GM.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 9 December 2015 15:12 (eight years ago) link
i can only guess that they put that package together for fernandez, didn't get him, and decided 'who's the next available starter?'

idgi. niese not only sucks, he's making just as much as walker
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 9 December 2015 20:28 (eight years ago) link
the pirates have been pretty good with taking scrap heap pitchers and turning them into good starters
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 9 December 2015 20:35 (eight years ago) link
also niese was bad last year but for his career he's been pretty decent
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 9 December 2015 20:36 (eight years ago) link
not that i quite understand why the pirates were so eager to get rid of neil walker (defense im assuming?)
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 9 December 2015 20:37 (eight years ago) link
i don't think his defense was particularly bad and i don't think his offense was particularly good. maybe they're lining up for someone else? they also have josh harrison who could fill in
― nerd shit (Will M.), Wednesday, 9 December 2015 20:46 (eight years ago) link
walker's in his last year of arbitration, expected to make around $9m, and then want more in free agency than the pirates would be willing to pay. i can understand trading him, but he's pretty good, and i'd rather have one year of him than one year of niese at the same price
niese may benefit from ray searage and shifting and such, but the pirates now basically have half an infield -- half of which may not recover from chris coughlan's slide until late spring
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 9 December 2015 20:48 (eight years ago) link
i suppose the trade may serve the greater good to mankind if it makes the mets bring back bartolo

well i can't imagine them getting big years, but if chase utley can get a deal . . .
plus the dbacks are in win-now mode because dave stewart's gut says so. they've already lost their next first-round pick; might as well sign murph too

walker's not that bad a defender. and anecdotally he makes better decisions than murph, which isn't saying much but still
