The Mariners are all in for Victor Martinez - 4 years @ $18m per.. they like him more than Cruz and he's less $. They are also gonna try to lock up Kyle Seager but he wants Freddie Freeman $.
Doesn't change the fact that no one here gives a shit about the Mariners, nor is anyone impressed that you fancy yourself a Mariners asshat. I'm sure there are Mariner boards where that information would be of interest, yet for some reason you post it here.
Dude...No one gives a shit about the Marignerz... Â
Would be a big get and that is a lot of money for a player at his age who only plays Dh and who has has serious knee surgery recently. Ortiz has to be thinking wtf.
The OP proceeds to post a MLB FA rumor, and gets shit. I am confused why we are giving him a hard time. He is a mariners fan and has Mariners info. I appreciate that. Keep up the good work and thank you. All rumors are fun at this point, and go to show what current market rates juts might be this offseason. I think that's too much for V-Mart, but he has been insane for the last two years.
Jairo Heredia and Pat Venditte are the notables. Rondon and Turley are FAs as well but likely to resign. Carmen Angelini is a FA but I would expect him back as it is a bare cupboard at SS north of A-ball.
RE: RE: Seattle doesn't even care about the Mariners Â
wonders whether the Yanks would have enough to get it done, re Castro? Come on now. The Yanks aren't on the level of the Cubs or Sox, in terms of prospects, but they get completely dismissed far too often. They've got enough to land Castro, the question is really, SHOULD they.

Yeah they could manage it, but it seems like they're banking on Severino and Judge. While they're probably open to dealing prospects, even good ones, I doubt they ship out their two best trade chips when they're not a player away. I don't watch Castro enough to give a decent take on his defense, negative WAR but that's not the most reliable metric for rating glove work, and the offense is very good. At 24 he probably isn't done improving either, though his speed game has already diminished.
Other than Heyward, JUp will bring the best haul. Ridding themselves of a good chunk of BJ's contract, and with Uggla coming off the books they could afford to keep both guys if they wanted.
Yanks resign Andrew Bailey to a minor league deal... Â
actually a pretty nice signing. He wasn't far enough along in his rehab to contribute last year but he could factor into the pen this year as he should be fully healthy. If he's anything approximating his pre-injury effectiveness he would be a big addition. Link - ( New Window )
my prediction is a big Heyward extension, trading Justin Upton for a prospect haul, trading Gattis :( for prospects, and reluctantly having to package someone like Mike Minor in order to get rid of BJ Upton.

#Braves signed free-agent OF Zoilo Almonte to a major league deal. Ex-Yankee can play corners and some CF.
Actually, they don't. They affect them.
Come on now, look at that pic. That's prolly two hours before game time. There's nobody on the field other than a couple of bozos playing catch.

Yes, yes you are. Just own it.

Awesome....that would mean they'd be looking to deal Justin Upton.

Interesting. Low risk, some upside, low cost. If he could be had for Gee/Colon, no brainer for both sides.
Capone - get on the phone and make it happen!!
I could keep laughing all the way to Spotsylvania or wherever Greg is.
The #Braves have signed RHP Chien-Ming Wang to a Minor League contract and given him a ST invite.
Well ok then.
as expected, ervin santana will not accept the $15.3M qualifying offer. put up big year with braves, just get nice deal.
Expected.
Aaaaand now for my sad face...
Can confirm report by @JoelSherman1 that #Braves’ Gattis is being pushed aggressively.
Mets announce they’ve signed Michael Cuddyer to a two-year contract. Well then.
