#Brewers announce that Aramis Ramirez has exercised his end of the $14M option and will be back with the team next season.

 

Like I said in the main thread, this line up is going to be real good especially now that Aramis has exercised his option.

Markakis’ Agent To Meet With Multiple Clubs This Week

By Steve Adams [November 10, 2014 at 1:39pm CST]

 

Talks between the Orioles and Nick Markakis on a four-year deal appear to have stalled, as Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports that Markakis’ agent, Jamie Murphy of TWC Sports, will meet with several clubs at this week’s GM Meetings. Asked if the Orioles were among the clubs with whom he planned to meet, Murphy told Connolly, “No, not at this time.”

 

According to Connolly, the two sides were at one point nearing agreement on a four-year pact that would have paid Markakis $10-12MM annually. However, the agreement was never reached, and the two sides haven’t had any meaningful discussions in a week, Connolly writes. Prior to today, Murphy had been negotiating exclusively with the Orioles, but that has changed, and he’ll now shop for a palatable deal with teams around the league. Connolly tweets that he doesn’t get the sense this latest development has closed the book on Markakis re-signing in Baltimore.

 

Markakis, who just recently won his second Gold Glove, is coming off a season in which he rebounded from a poor 2013 with a .276/.342/.386 batting line and 14 homers. Though he wasn’t the doubles machine that he was earlier in his career, he still posted a solid OBP and home run totals that are in line with his career norms. I profiled Markakis last month and projected him to sign a four-year, $48MM contract.

Came here to post this. Thought this was very interesting because I wonder if that is a "home town discount" or what Markakis really thinks he's worth.

 

If this is true at 10-12 million per, I would definitely want Markakis at 4 years between 40-50 million.

A number of teams have expressed preliminary interest in Torii Hunter, including #Royals, #Twins, #Cubs, #Rangers, #SFGiants, #Mariners…

 

I hope the Cubs get him

Mets announce they sign michael cuddyer to two-year deal. Sacrifice draft choice to get him.

 

 

With Harvey, Wheeler, and DeGrom it appears the Mets are looking to contend.

 

Really stupid to give up the 15th pick for Cuddyer

And the Rockies get a comp pick too between rounds 1 and 2.

#Mets lose 15th overall pick for Cuddyer. #Rockies gain comp pick between 1st and 2nd rounds. Qualifying offer looks pretty smart now.

Sources: #Marlins have opened long-term talks with Fernandez, Yelich, Hechavarria. Nothing close; Fernandez, repped by Boras, a longshot.

#Marlins' motivation not simply to impress Stanton, with whom they also are talking. Idea is to build club that can sustain success.
