AL East 2016 thread

Thus ends a frustrating, but overall solid Red Sox career. I do think the Sox should have waited longer to deal him. Phillies will be paying for Buchholz though. Tobias looks like a utility player at best.

dumped 13.5 mil for a reliever good move thx philly

I like the move for Philly

Going from the AL beast to a weak NL East may be a rejuvenator for Clay

hellickson/velasquez/Nola/Bucholz may not be too bad

And if he pitches well, and the Phillies suck, trading an expiring contract in July, will be an easy task

AL Central just to strong for him also

 

[tducey]

Good to see we got rid of clay Bucholz, maybe could have got something more though.

that Seth Smith/Gallardo trade was just plain dumb for the Mariners.

Would you expect anything less from the Mariners?

Nope.

Gallardo swears last year was a fluke, so we'll see.

Projections for all AL East rookies in 2017

Thanks for posting that, the Jays may need one of their outfield prospects to step up given what happens to Bautista.

Sorry, Danny, you get to keep Bautista. . .

You can take Shatkins back now.

I'd be lying if I didn't get a chuckle out of the fact that the year Shapiro and Atkins bolt for Toronto, the Indians make the World Series, knocking the Blue Jays out along the way.

And take their second-best player.

Well Bautista's coming back. Wish Toronto had kept Edwin but at least we got 1 of the 2 to come back.

Are you not a Red Sox fan?

No he's not

Looks like Trumbo is back in Baltimore on a 3/$37 million deal.

Orioles nearing deal with Trumbo (updated)

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

TRUMBO ends up taking less money than the Orioles original starting point.

Duquette loves to play the waiting game....and it worked out really well for him.

I hope TRUMBO doesn't harbor any ill will. The O's clearly won the battle and then some.
It is not their fault.

Although, he should take a look at his agent a bit closer.

 

[tducey]

I am a Red Sox fan and a Blue Jay fan as well. Strange pairing I know but it is what it is. As to Trumbo, good move by the Orioles to bring him back for sure.
