Should the Dodgers go After Robinson Cano next season ?

[Brahmsian]

To slightly rephrase my previous post:

Paying big money to forgettable players, as the late Tom Yawkey frequently did
as owner of the Boston Red Sox, CAN hurt a team, but Yawkey's Red Sox were
still generally better than Jacobs's Bruins. Mediocrity is preferable to whatever word
best describes those Bruins.

Yeah I just think overpaying Cano would hurt them especially if they are trying to go cheap on spending and have bullpen and starting pitching issues.

It would hurt them but not in the short term. Boston doesn't want the Yankees to benefit short term nor long term, so him signing elsewhere would probably be best. Put him on the Angels

EDIT If he signs a deal similar to Pujols that is.

LOL IF the Angels sign Cano where would they get the money to resign Trout? I would love to see Trout walk from the Angels

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Puig, Kemp, Trout?

I would be happy and go to heaven if we got trout lol

Wonderful thought. Have about 5 years to see that even become a remote possibility.

 

[besaesa]

If the Angels overpaid on Cano they certainly wouldnt have the money to pay trout. Just depends what moves they make this offseason.

Why would the Angels go after Cano?

It was a joke since the Angels gave up a ton of money for Pujols and Hamilton who have been mostly busts thus far.

Let him go to a team I can root FOR, not against!

My Red Sox already have Pedroia, but since I have ancestral ties to Minnesota
and grew up in Cardinal country I wouldn't mind seeing him with either the Twins
or St.Louis.

Do you want them to resign Ellsbury?

 

[Silas]

I can see the Cardinals kicking the tires on Cano, but they weren't willing to pony up the big dough for Puljos, so I'm not optimistic ( if I'm a Cardinals fan) that they would do so with Cano.

Twins have zero chance of signing Cano.

I agree

Yes, I would like the Sox to resign Ellsbury, never mind that his agent is unpopular here in Boston.

He's the best lead-off hitter the Sox have had in a long time. He does sometimes have to use his
speed to make up for breaking the wrong way on fly balls, but he usually catches them in spite of
those misjudgements and makes many more good-to-great plays than bad ones.

I want him and Pedroia to be Red Sox their entire careers.

Dodgers are closing in on signing Alex Guerrero to a Multi $33 million dollar deal

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Silas]

Looks like this would be a very good signing for the Dodgers and it would only cost money, which is no big deal to the Dodgers, right?

Guerrero would probably step in as the starter at 3B or 2B.

 

[besaesa]

Silas I say play Guerrero at second and then bring uribe back on a 1 year deal for third next year.

No Cano contract nightmares now!
