I can't imagine Castro getting back anything of value.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:10 PM) Did United drop their sponsorship or are they just updating the OF sign? I can't recall where the United sign was, but everything stripped there is going to be digital.

Per Nitengale Twitter. Mets presumably the ones who made that offer.

Seeing a big market over correction for non-closers. Dukes contract isn't completely horrible.

Derrick Henry would probably the most underwhelming winner in at least a decade. Figured voters may have learned their lesson on Alabama RBs after Ingram and (sort of) Richardson. It's pretty easy to play RB there.

Probably one of the funnest games I've ever watched. But yeah not sure I'd call it very quality.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 10:42 AM) Rivera seems like a utility infielder, which doesn't seem like a need. Unless you think he can start at 2B over Sanchez and Micah? He's another cheap name to add to the mix, since nothing is settled there. I'd bring him in for spring training if we aren't adding another IF as insurance (if anyone gets hurt or Micah gets traded). If we have to offer him back, offer him back. Better pick IMO, than a pitcher (where we aren't even protecting our own talented pieces) or OF (I'd even want Avi over anyone not named Blash and Trayce/Shuck seem firmly locked in as 4th OF).

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 07:18 AM) Pirates are the only team that makes sense in my opinion. Too bad they non-tendered Pedro Alvarez. Laroche+cash for him would have been great. Now I don't know how to do it.

"braves were meeting late into night and reportedly made progress. a trade w/ shelby miller could happen as soon as today."-heyman just now He's didn't mention the Cubs specifically so who knows.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 06:19 PM) Jason hasn't hit his prime yet. He would make a lot of sense especially with our defensive deficiencies. He makes a ton of sense....throw info out that were in on Upton and then silently swoop in and sign Heyward.....then I wake up ya ya I know Upton is 2 years younger then Cespedes (and not Cuban) and 3 years younger than Gordon. Big reason I'd want Upton over th latter two. You're getting his prime years. That's obviously especially true for Heyward.

Seemed to me like Royals are ready to move on from Gordon. I feel like Upton may come cheaper as thanks to a monster second half from Cespedes and the exposure for Gordon winning the World Series. Not long ago I would have said Upton would have definitely been the 2nd most valuable outfielder, but now he'll have to get in ine, which may work in our favor.

Feel like this is robbery for the red sox unless mariners got some major salary relief.

I like all the site moves so far

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 12:29 PM) Honestly though: Do you want an individual thread made for every free agent that signs? This isn't at you, but I just don't see why people are so scared to make threads. Just do it. Thread creating isn't sacred. It's about the same effort as a reply. And this way, way more people see it and are more informed rather than hoping they wonder into the correct page of some 100 page catch all. The Soria thread probably got more replies already then it would buried somewhere. Just my .02.

I think it'll be Davis. Which means the set-set-up reliever market is getting pretty ridiculous.

Reliever market pretty busy.

You guys really struggle with the concept of no catch alls.

I think we make a pick. If Blash is there I think you have to draft him. If not I think we go with TJ Rivera. And I'd like that a lot.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 10:05 AM) Ya what the hell happened there. They got rid of the best manager in the game and it's all been downhill ever since.

A 28 year old free agent who would be our cornerstone outfielder? Would love this for about 18-20 per. Do it.

Highest aav in sports history?

Thank you dear leader for continuing to fight against catch alls.

Would have rather they kept him and traded him for Laroche, ha.

Groce is so, so bad. Go 2-20 from the field? Better play more and more of a walk-on who is a black hole on offense! Along PGs who are also black holes! Even sadder when Austin was awful on the defensive end.
