December 4, 201312 yr They'll be fine without Salty, but how do they plan to replace Napoli and Ellsbury? With young players, platoons and the usage of sabermetrics. Plus the offseason is far from over. Ellsbury was overpaid and Napoli is likely to regress, anyway.
December 4, 201312 yr Red Sox guys are pretty damn smart, I bet if Ortiz retired tomorrow, they'd still find a way to win next year.
December 5, 201312 yr They'll be fine without Salty, but how do they plan to replace Napoli and Ellsbury? They are talking to Granderson right now...He would be a terror at Fenway if they can convince him to sign with them instead of the Mets
December 5, 201312 yr The Tigers reduced salary opened up a rotation spot for Drew Smiley and got a pretty good pitching prospect in Ray So ur telling me the Tigers were willing to get lesser names back just to get the salary relief? Pfft, no way. I can't think of any team that would ever do that.Not so dumb if the extra cash was used to bring in Nathan, I'm sure Dombrowski had that in mind when he made the trade
December 5, 201312 yr Mujica - 2 years $9.5 mil to Boston Their bullpen isn't going to walk anyone next year... lol

December 5, 201312 yr Stupid stupid question but comparing $175 mil to $225 mil, is there really a lot of difference in the scheme of things. He's made lots of money already, and playing baseball 6 months out of the year plus all the hotel accommodations and food spread, is this seriously him being greedy or what? I mean I hope he fails miserably.
December 6, 201312 yr Easy to say you'd turn the extra money down now but most people would do what he's doing.
December 6, 201312 yr Cano has probably about 5 years worth of high dollar performance left in him. There's a pretty nasty cliff around age 35 when you don't use steroids to help you out.
December 6, 201312 yr Bryan Petersen signed a minor league deal with ST invite - Texas Rangers Awesome for him. That's a perfect park for him, hope he gets a real opportunity.
December 6, 201312 yr What makes any athlete say "hey, you know who I want to negotiate my contract. Jay Z...." Cano potentially lost out on a lot of money from Mariners

December 6, 201312 yr The Mariners and Robinson Cano are in agreement on a 10-year, $240MM contract, according to Enrique Rojas of ESPNDeportes.com (Spanish link). Jay Z is good at life
December 6, 201312 yr What a terrible contract Cano will be making $20+ Million when he's 40. That should go well
December 6, 201312 yr Stanton is worth 10/300 now. Still so mad we didn't deal with him like how the Rays did with Longoria's first contract extension.
