Marlins have received trade offers for Stanton from the Giants, Cardinals, and possibly the Red Sox. Stanton has said he wont go to Sox or Cards. Not sure why not the Cards. They have the trade power with 3 top prospect arms. Not sure who they offered.
JD Martinez agent wants 200 mil for his guy. Martinez is a very good player but not sure he is worth that. He will prob get it though.
MLB and Japan have agreed to extend the posting agreement one year and list Otani under the extension. Just waiting for Players Union to agree to it. I don't see why they would not agree. Due to his age he would have to sign a minor league deal and would be subject just like all other. Rangers have the most money 3.5 mil and the Yanks are just under that with 3.3 mil.
Not sure if any deals will be done before Thanksgiving.
Hart was the president Coppy was the GM. Hart re-signed reportedly due to the investigation. He either knew about all of this and did nothing to stop it or he was unaware of what was happening right under his nose. Either way Hart looks bad. With that said Hart played a huge part in the rebuild and I personally am sad to see him go despite the fact that he was more of a consultant than an actual president.
I am glad as well but it wasn't for a lack of trying. They tried desperately to get former Braves exec Dayton Moore to come over as GM but the Royals wouldn't allow it. AA was the fallback option. I am very happy that they didn't bring in Moore as I am not a fan of his. Let's just hope that Anthopoulos isn't pressure to make a big trade in a lame attempt to raise fan morale while giving up several top prospects.

I've been wanting to get past the Braves way for years. I'm delighted, and surprised, that they picked a GM who doesn't have ties to the old guard.

I think AA will do a good job.

It wouldn't be surprising if the Mets moved soon on bullpen. One name I keep hearing: Bryan Shaw.
