I heard the Yankees are going to retire Stanton’s number at the beginning of the season.

Considering how good the Marlins have been, even with changes in their front office, in developing players, how good they have won if they had a budget to pay them.
The list of good players down through this now third extinct level event of their 40 man roster is really adding up.
Then again, maybe the Marlins want to be the AAAA franchise team for the Yankees like the Kansas City A's were in the 50s and 60.

it was nice little moment of likability for the yankees, but it feels kinda good to be hated again. at least one thing is back to normal in this crazy world.

well yea the Marlins are terrible for this league and anyone who pays money to see them should be pissed. I'm just upset that the farfetched Double Agent Derek Jeter plan actually worked

don't really get why the padres would want to pay $13m for a 34yo 3B with no power (or acquire a below-replacement level reliever)

Machado on the block, he wants to play SS, Orioles want two starting pitchers in return.
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 12 December 2017 19:30 (six years ago) link
crap, sorry bout the paywall.
anyway, i can't think of anyone who would give up that sort of haul for one year of manny, unless they're gonna sign him long-term.
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 12 December 2017 19:31 (six years ago) link
the only team i can think of that has the depth at starter and that kind of cash is the Dodgers, who have Corey Seager

:) if they gave up alcantara or flaherty or hudson to get him. :/ if they gave up two of the three to get him:( if alex reyes is part of this deal
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 13 December 2017 18:25 (six years ago) link
no way reyes is part of it
guessing any number of outfielders and maybe carson kelly, since matheny doesn't have the stones to sit yadi

no one has the stones to sit yadi. yadi will yell at you on instagram, it's not worth the hassle
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 13 December 2017 18:37 (six years ago) link
apparently it's alcantara + three lesser minor leaguers? which seems like another piss-poor return, even if ozuna's only available for two seasons
yelich now huddled on his couch, crying softly
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 13 December 2017 21:12 (six years ago) link
curious to see who the other three are, but yeah, on the face of it this seems like the marlins made a dum dum again. (of course, if ozuna regresses more than expected and alcantara ends up being a decent mid-rotation guy, then maybe i'm the dummy)

piscotty to oakland for two mid-level infield prospects
supposedly this was partly driven by the fact that piscotty's mom has ALS and lives in california, and the cardinals were doing him a solid

xpostyeah, i think that definitely played a role. as far back as last year they were trying to trade him to OAK (for sonny gray, at the time).i like piscotty a lot, i think everyone is glad to see him move back home. hopefully beane won't trade him at the deadline!

The Mets have reportedly signed reliever Anthony Swarzak to a two-year deal worth $14 million.
The Mariners signed pitcher Juan Nicasio to a two-year deal worth $17 million.
The Astros have reportedly signed reliever Joe Smith for two-years.
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 14 December 2017 16:35 (six years ago) link
astros also picked anthony gose, as a pitcher, in the rule 5 draft. which should be interesting, if terrifying for hitters
