Garcia over Franco for RoY is hilarious.

That is ridiculous. Garcia had a good few months. He was pretty bad in the 2nd half, and useless outside of Texas,

And if you're going to hold Franco's games played against him, then go with Arozarena.

Surprising to me that Gardner thinks he'll do better than $2.5M on the open market after making $2.8M last year.

Best of luck.

Gardner's had a hell of a career, but I think they should move on.

E-rod 5/80 or so with Detroit..

Someone had to overpay him

 

[navamind]

Jeez. I like that one for Detroit.

RIP Julio Lugo.

RIP Julio Lugo.

Saw that earlier, 45 is way too young….

Heyman is a joke. Baez is a fun player but I could see his offense cratering.

Yankees 40 man is full, and the rule 5 draft is tomorrow.

So unless there's some monster trade brewing that no one has heard anything about, they're gonna get Garret Whitlock'ed again.

Out of those, I'd hate to see the Sox lose Bello/Downs/Winckowski/Ward/Jimenez/Crawford. Rest are meh.
