James Paxton to Yanks

[SlinkyRedfoot]

His brother was great in Weird Science......

YER STEWED, BUTTWAD!

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Nah, it's a good site. If it was gay, you'd already be there.

Yep.

Gay dudes give great head, provided of course that they keep their GOD DAMNED EYES TO THEMSELVES!

Speaking of which, you ever told the guys at Zigs about why you wear that eye patch?

It's a prop to get sympathy sex from the ladies

now if the sox can only sign evaoldi

They did. 1 year $6.75M.....yesterday.

 

[The Q]

Cheap enough price for 150 good innings.

Anything more is a bonus, but Seattle had to look to strike now so he didn’t get hurt and become untradeable during the season

Are you mixing him up with Pearce? Reports are that Eovaldi's going to be getting at least a $50M deal.

Hi, Ken.

I'm reality.

Have we met?

 

[BigKen]

You're right, my bad. Heard that Eovaldi was offered 3/$45 but is waiting until after the baseball winter meeting in three weeks. Rumors are that the Astros are ready to offer 3/$54M and so are the Phillies.

It's not improbable. I've been around a bit.

I'm surprised it's that low.

I thought he'd get more than that.

 

[SeattleCoug]

How many times have the Yankees bent the Mariners over in a trade?

Everytime since Jay Buhner

 

[Rock Strongo]

I didn't realize 2019 is Sale's walk year. That's gonna be interesting.

very, especially with his arm not being so...sound...to end the year, tho he insists hes fine.

 

[Rock Strongo]

oh, missed that. thx.

 

[SeattleCoug]

Hope he can stay healthy. He's fun to watch when he's right but something always seems to happen which causes him to miss a few weeks.
As for the deal itself, no idea. It seems like a reasonable return. Paxton is 30 with only 2 years of control left so I wasnt expecting a huge haul. Just somewhat relieved that Mariners are finally admitting they arent contenders in the AL and can move forward somewhat.

 

[Rock Strongo]

@BigKen

i see nothing on this.

Daily Red Sox Links: Nathan Eovaldi, Dustin Pedroia, Steve Pearce

 

[nynasty]

Paxton had a 3.67 ERA in a pitchers' park. Think that will improve in Yankee Stadium? Especially with the short porch in RF?

Good thing he's left-handed, eh?

 

[cerealboi]

Word, especially that Buhner for Phelps trade. Now go run to Zigs and tell on me like you always do.

Who are you?

 

[cerealboi]

When I mention the Mariners getting bent over, every Mariners fan brings up a trade that happened 30 years ago. This is the team that traded for Montero . . . . errr Monstero for serviceable but pinetar cheating Pineda.

Mariners also gave up fan favorite Ichiro for a couple of duds. I'm sure this trade will blow up in their faces as well.

At the time, I thought that Cashman had been severely burned. Montero was a consensus top 5 prospect (all the way up to #2 in BA's rankings) and to basically trade a chip of that value for a pitcher with lousy mechanics and a questionable health history seemed really, really stupid.

As it turned out, the deal didn't really help either team all that much, but I guess you could call the Yankees winners. At least the guy they got is still being paid to play baseball.......

I recall the big knock on that trade was the fallout the following spring training when it was revealed that Pineda had something wrong with his elbow or shoulder. But even with missing that time, Pineda ended up being worth 100 Montero's.
