smalls2598 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Per Rotoworld: FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi report that Justin Upton rejected a trade that would have sent him to the Mariners. The Arizona Republic's Nick Piecoro has confirmed the report, and although it's not clear who exactly would have gone to Arizona in the deal, Piecoro says the package was "substantial." Upton has a limited no-trade clause, and the Mariners are obviously on it, though the report speculates that a deal between the two sides could possibly be revived. The Rangers and Braves are still pursuing the outfielder. It's looking very likely that Upton will be moved prior to spring training.

The Rangers and Braves are still pursuing the outfielder. It's looking very likely that Upton will be moved prior to spring training. The names being speculated by the Seattle Times are Nick Franklin, Stephen Pryor, Charlie Furbush, and one of the M's top pitching prospects. So 2 good young relievers, the #29 overall ranked prospect(Franklin), and probably either the #4(Walker), 8(Hultzen), or 72(Paxton) ranked prospect in the league. Pipe dream alert.... How bout Franklin, Furbush, and Stefan Romero for Alex Rios...Then flip Franklin, Furbush, Jones, and Q or Santiago for Upton....and keep Romero for our potential 3B of the future. So basically Rios, Jones, and lets say Q for Upton and Romero. Actually that doesn't sound like much of a pipe dream at all NOTE-I posted this in pale hose talk so I don't hijack this thread and so my brilliant mind is seen by all of soxtalk.

southsider2k5 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Maybe now we know why the Rays system is so good? http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/rays/content..._medium=twitter Rays minor league catcher David Wendt has been suspended 50 games after testing positive for Methylhexaneamine, the league announced Monday. Wendt, who played for Double-A Montgomery last season, is the seventh Rays minor leaguer to be suspended this past year for violating the minor league Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. His suspension will be effective at the beginning of this year. -- JOE SMITH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Well the good thing is that the Tigers won't be signing Soriano, so they are closer-less. But I don't see why the Nats needed him. They have Storen and Clippard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst thing is that there are going to be people who are upset that the Nationals signed Rafael Soriano for $28 mill because the White Sox haven't been making any moves.

It is a stimulant that for some users feels stronger than caffeine. It was in every popular pre-workout supplement for about 5 years before the FDA made it illegal for not being from a plant source. A few people with heart problems have reported issues with it, but it isn't really any more dangerous at high doses than caffeine at high doses. The performance advantage would be negligibly different than someone using a couple cups of coffee and could easily become a detriment if he used too much because it causes notable crashing. I have a big bottle of the encapsulated ingredient in my room if somebody wants to try. It is notably the good the first time you try it, then never works as well after that. Anyone that gets banned for that is careless, but not a cheater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
