[The Q]

sounds like if it gets done it'll be today.

Kinda surprised the giants aren't involved tbh.

But then again if Cuch doesn't want to move off CF...

 

[The Q]

Beltran to Houston for 1/16.

Man, trying to get that lightning in a bottle from 04?

I don't think I've ever seen a guy that locked in before.

Interesting the Sox will be out on him and EE (probably).

I'm guessing Brandon Moss or Pedro alvarez signs by the end of the winter. They need a lefty bat in there for the most part.

Chapman: Want 6 years; Cubs are not interested

Hows that for a pay raise??

A year & a half ago, pitcher Rich Hill signed with the non affiliated Long Island Ducks of the ALPB for $500 a week. Today, he signed with the LA Dodgers for 3 years, $48 million

Good for him.

lol @ Giants

lol @ Giants

why?

Although I'm sure most SF fans would've preferred a 3yr deal, that's still a solid acquisition by them imho...and now they can turn the page on Casilla.

Chapman wants 6 yrs....that's probably gonna have to come down.

Because paying a guy $15.5 million for four years for 1.5-(at most) 2.5 wins a year is retarded. See Jonathan Papelbon.

I'm pretty sure the Giants' GM knows what works for his team,and has a better grasp of a winnable formula than do you.

It seems to have worked out nicely for them the last 5-6 yrs.

But I digress...

Possible. I give it like a 55/45 shot in favor of Sabean

Go back to sleep, child.

It's gotta be waaaay past your bedtime.

You mean more like 99 to 1, in his favor.

Giants haven't done many high ticket buys, it really hasn't been their style. And many haven't worked out.

Zito and Rowand for starters.

Even Pagan didn't really work out well.
