Shut up.

I mean, HA HAH HAH, stick it to those Mutts fans...

Did you hear that my beloeved White Sox are gonna get Yasiel Puig?!?

Boom

I'm not trying to stick it to the Mets, just wondering what the hell they're doing.

Bruce is a notoriously streaky hitter.

Regardless, I'm hearing there's some medical issue possibly holding up the Bruce deal.

Honestly, I'm really lukewarm on the Bruce deal. I would have loved the guy two or three years ago, but we have Cespedes and a bunch of fourth outfielders, none of which can really cover center except for Lagares

The Yankees have officially waived the white flag on this year, but could be monsters in the near future. Two sources confirmed that Carlos Beltran has been traded to the Rangers. Yankees GM Brian Cashman acquired starter Dillon Tate from the Rangers. Tate was the fourth over pick in the 2015 draft. Cashman has added a total of eight prospects in his three trades.

Jay Bruce provides impact bat, but unlikely to help Mets much

Yeah, can't really argue much with that article. The whole lineup needs to just do a better job with hitting.

More than anything right now, we just need warm bodies.

@Used 2 B Hu So as it turns out...we're keeping Wyoming...but losing Colombia.
It's gonna be Dilson Herrera for Jay Bruce...not Brandon Nimmo as was reported earlier...

And I hear we also got Jon Niese & possibly Juan Uribe back?.....not sure for who or what.

The Indians dropped Uribe. He can't help them. Might do wonders for the Mets. . .

Can someone recap the Trades that went down today?

I am currently working

Red Sox traded David Ortiz and Rick Porcello to the Indians for a picture of Corey Kluber's junk. Really weird trade. . .

Sure have. I also heard that the Yankees are laying low until Bryce Harper becomes a FA after the 2017 season and then plan to go all in for him

I hope he takes a ricocheted curveball in the dirt off his left nut.

Ha! I would be pissed to be an Indians fan too. Can't believe that it went down the way it did!

Perhaps they did it for veteran leadership?
