Could this be the day we see Machado moved? Do the yankees make a move for a pitcher or a bold one in getting said Machado? Will the Mets make a big splash on the last day. Hopefully it'll be an exciting one after the last few days were a little slow.
However, he still doesn't think Angelos will sign off on a Yankee deal, and he (Kay) thinks they should wait till free agency rather than deplete their starting pitching supply in the minors.
I know, I know - I hate Kay, too - but his Yankee insights have some value.
I fully believe this on Machado
1. He sees the Yanks are building something unstoppable and wants to be a part of it
2. He detests the Red Sox
3. He always looked up to ARod when he came up to the bigs
Yanks actually have the best deal but Angelos won't trade with the Yanks so the White Sox have the best deal the Orioles are looking at. That makes sense. Question is, will the White Sox pay him the money

Yeah? What's the offer?
None of us actually know. The Yanks have the best pool to deal from, but the White Sox are right there with them. Yes, it's well documented that Angelos is extremely resistant to a trade with the Yanks, but to declare that the Yanks have the best deal is just speculation.

Today I received information from a good source that no matter what happens...Machado knows he will be with the Yankees....whether in 2018 or 2019...
Orioles can't do anything about it...
Cashman is simply saying...take this or leave it...get something for him or get nothing
I think that the meetings were helpful to help us resolve the bullpen situation and give us a little more clarity on options at other positions, Alderson said shortly before departing. So I think were relatively happy going home.

Did Sandy kick any doors down on the way out?
I think DePo got a promotion in CLE. From what I read he now reports directly to Haslam, as does the GM and coach.
I thought he'd get tossed with Sashi, but if I read correctly doesn't seem like that is the case, at least not yet.

but I think it's time to move on. Bring back Depo to help with the draft (they obviously need it) and then let him take the reigns next offseason. Let Sandy stay on as team president but give someone else a chance.

Rodney also had offers from TEX, NYM, DET.
-Kipnis does not have a no-trade (so he has no say) but he does not want to be traded
Yeah he still runs the site.
Mets waiting for their bargain as usual.
Puma says otherwise-
The Mets received the impression Brian Dozier likely wont be dealt by the Twins. And team officials dont view the Brewers Jonathan Villar as a serious possibility at the moment.
He's 27 this season. Had an absolutely horrendous 2017, beyond bad. Very good 2016. Awful career outside of 2016.

Hearing there is nothing currently brewing with regards to Jason Kipnis and the Mets. Not that it can't happen, but no traction toward a deal at the moment.
Matt Ehalt @MattEhalt

Also, the Mets are not hot with any other potential 2B at the moment.
it's a good deal for all the other 1B options, based on twitter comments. For example....

The consensus on Carlos Santana's $60M deal with the Phillies: It bodes awfully well for free agent hitters. Santana is four years older than Eric Hosmer. A seven-year, $175M ask no longer seems beyond the pale. Good news for Logan Morrison and other available first basemen, too.

Just because the AAV is high. People expected 4 years at a lower number but he's older than Hosmer so the AAV bodes well for guys like him.
Dave Cameron 4 $18.0 M $72.0 M
"This is bananas. Santana projects as a better player than Edwin Enacnacion did last year, when the latter got 3/$60M after turning down 4/$80M from the Blue Jays. And Encarnacion got that despite only being able to negotiate with the few AL teams that had openings at DH. Santanas market should be much broader, and if he doesnt eclipse Encarnacions $60 million guarantee from last winter, a bunch of teams screwed up. I guessed that hed actually sign for $72 million, but Id probably go as high as $80 million if hed spread it out over five years. Santana might not be a superstar, but hes a good, consistent, durable player who will help his next team more than it seems many people might anticipate."
Though part of me wouldn't like it be because it signals the end of Dom Smith at low cost for a player at a relatively high cost that who knows how much of an improvement he'd be.
but my point was in response to the "great deal for Philly" posts. It's not that great IMO unless you see the Phillies as a contender in the next 3 years.
Not sure I do.

Phillies have an INSANE amount of money to spend upcoming so Santana is a nice add to what they already have. They have something like 7 million committed for 2019 (now 7+ Santana).
Astros signed RHP Hector Rondon to a two-year, $8.5 million contract. Reportedly also in on Darvish.
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Hector Rondon. Tucker looked like a potentially important part of the Astros' future not long ago, but he's been bypassed by others on the depth chart and spent all of 2017 at Triple-A even though he turned 27 at midseason. Still, he should draw some interest on waivers. Dec 15 - 3:50 PM
(Story was the Mets wanted to draft Tucker 6th round in 2012 but he didn't answer his phone, presumably they would be interested)

It was kind of a douchy thing to say to him. twitter really sucks some times with athletes being so potentially accessible.
I knew it wasn't unless your name is jon jae.
I thought it could be a buddy busting his balls, but based on his response it didn't seem that way.
