Beltran offered 48 million and 3 years?

[Nasty_Magician]

Seems like a good fit. Not sure he is going to play at a high level for more than 1 year but Royals could certainly make a push this year

I dunno, HGH is a hell of a drug.

If the Royals are going to spend 16 mil a year, he better be on it all 3 years....I will piss for the guy.

 

[raptorlife4]

quick 50 mil before retirement

3 years 48 million for Beltran -- KC is turning into the Yankees of the AL Central. Just trying to buy their way into the playoffs.

The last two seasons of this deal will be Johan Santana-ish.

Does this mean Detroit is Manchester United?

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Mets will take Butler off your hands then

In reality -- Detroit, now that Fielder is gone, doesn't have a FA signing from another team where they paid 16 million per year. Hunter is 13 million a year. VMart is 14 million a year.

The rest of the big contracts were thru trades and/or extensions after a trade (Cabrera,Kinsler, Sanchez, Scherzer) and then Verlander. So while people like to say, Detroit is trying to buy a championship -- In reality -- they are trying by trading prospects for proven talent, though the Fister deal is still a head scratcher.

and just to clarify - the laughing emoticon wasn't laughing at you -- it was laughing at your Manchester United comment. That cracked me up. One of my ex-girlfriends was infatuated with Ryan Giggs from ManU, so I found myself having to watch many games (she played soccer if college).

wow, that would be fun to watch Butler at 1b on ESPN. if you give up Harvey, I will make a call...lol

I would have to start a lol at x NL team's FO thread if they signed/traded for Butler.

As much as Butler could be useful for the offense of some NL team, his defense is hideous.

LOL keep dreaming, Harvey stays.

Even just plugging him at first base huh?

Absolutely, it really isn't prudent given the $/trade Value Butler would command. It would be a ridiculous addition if he is not a DH. Butler is atrocious even at 1st base.

shhhhhhhh...stop it...I would love watching this...how much entertainment can you get during the dog days of summer? you have to SELL butler ....moose....stop with all the facts.....I think Butler would be a great addition to the mets and solidfy their lineup batting behind Wright and Murphy...he might be able to put up 120 rbis....its a great plan...

now, what starting pitchers do you have available? Is Murphy available?

None and yes he is, if Gordon is available

 

[ImSmartherThanYou]

He deserves it the way he played with STL... But knowing him, he will probably get hurt and miss the majority of those 3 years...

What do you mean "knowing him"? Do you guys hang out? Exchange emails?

Seriously, what the fuck do half the things you post mean? It's gibberish.

 

[ImSmartherThanYou]

The Mariners are the only other team I could think of in the AL/Small market that would give Beltran 3 years.

Seattle is not a small market.

 

[ImSmartherThanYou]

Mets could use a bat and have a plethora of young arms to deal. Butler to the Mets for any combination of Duda/Davis/Daniel Murphy + a young arm or 2?

Butler can't play a position.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Seattle is not a small market.

Fair enough, I probably didn't think that through.
