Jays overpaid imo

They did. But they had to.

Everyone that hits free agency in MLB gets overpaid.

so much new tv money.

Might Yanks revisit their low-key winter plan and shoot for Scherzer? - CBSSports.com

 

[broncosmitty]

Scherzer would suck balls in Yankee Stadium. You can have him, but you won't be happy.

I think everyone has to "overpay" to get a player away from the New York/Boston/LAx2's of the world......

White Sox To Sign Zach Duke ? MLB Trade Rumors

I'll bet my 25 vcash his last season was a fluke, 3 15 mill for Zach Duke wow

Hassan was a guy I really liked and I hope he'll have a successful career with the A's. Unfortunately, he didn't really have a place in Boston given their OF logjam.

David Robinson retired from the NBA after the 02-03 season.

You know you would be ok with david robinson closing games for boston.

What a dumb pickup by the As. Makes me feel better about the tigs resigning vmart, would have hated butker in det. Five years ago, definitely, loved the guy and comerica would have been perfect for him.

So what do you guys think, who got the better of the cards braves deal? I think the cards did, I think heyward will be a top OF in the next couple of years.

Whos going to land scherzer or lester? Whoever gets max will regret it for the amount of money hes asking. Guy thinks hes clayton kershaw.

Yeah, he will have a 5 ERA pitching for the sox.

 

[tducey]

Yeah, the White Sox overpaid for Zach Duke.

As to Lester and Schrezer think Lester returns to Boston and Scherzer goes to the Yankees.

 

[bksballer89]

I don't want Max in the Bronx unless it is on a 3 or 4 year deal.

Kudos to Butler for doing that, always nice to see athletes doing that.

Because I'm bored and I don't have anybody to discuss the Mets with I'll lay out my hopes for the rest of the offseason here:

- Move Montero and either Niese/Gee for a SS (preferably Alexei Ramirez if they lower their price). Priority number 1.
- If they land a SS, move Flores to 2nd base and trade Murphy for prospects or relief pitching
- Sign a legitimate reliever. Mets already have a very good pen, would like to see them grab another reliable arm, particularly a lefty.
- Sign a 4th outfielder (Johnny Gomes?), one that can hit lefties for the games when Cuddyer plays 1B.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Come on Winter Meetings, let's get the ball rolling on some of these transactions, particularly Scherzer and Lester.

 

[HammerDown]

Unreal that the Padres think this is a good idea.
