LOL at Clark's shitty grammar.  "Players" shouldn't be capitalized in either context.

^ Amen, the players are treated like kings and get payed bigly for it, if they can't handle being treated like a video game they can go sit behind a desk or save lives.

Or you can be better at baseball

Players should be commodities. I'll buy 1 million shares of Mike Trout, please.

Whats awesome too, is that we can lie to Pederson and tell him we were totally cool with paying him what he wanted, but that it was out of our hands.

[T.G.]

Hey Tony... Relax... your precious Astros players got off. You can't win them all.

So your contention is Boston is too stupid to use google. Bold take. 

Yeah, by fans. Fans are stupid. Fans assume teams are run by mouth breathing Neanderthals who are dumber than they are. 

The story as far as I can see is simple: Boston believed - based on various evaluations (some of which are public) that he had at least a 20% chance or better of being a starter. When his medical records were reviewed, something in them made it clear that such was simply not feasible. 

In other words, his ceiling is lower even than public records indicated. Yes, he profiled as most likely to be a reliever, but Boston apparently felt he had more upside. There’s a reason the deal got complicated when the medicals were reviewed and it wasn’t because “LOL Boston too dumz to use google, smh” as I’ve read all over from fans. 

Im just passing on what ive read for discussion sake, take it for whatever its worth, or dont

And I’m just asking: Does that make sense to you (that Boston is utterly clueless as opposed to something legitimate coming up in medical records that makes Graterol’s long term projections significantly less than those who can’t see said records might believe)?

Before I get crucified again. 
 

per the same twitter account (DodgerThinkingMen) that had the trade prior to the mainstream media reports.  They mentioned a couple hours ago Betts deal official. 
 

For whatever that is worth.

Yeah, saw it. Worth noting, though: They don’t identify who has been added or subtracted to complete the deal. Also, multiple other reports said the deal is expected to be completed today, so I wouldn’t necessarily view them as reliable on that announcement just yet. They may be right, but I’m waiting for confirmation from a more proven source.

I'll wait until piodeportes tweets about it, thank you.

Will be interesting to see if this turns out to be true. Specifics this time.

I just tweeted them to see if they knew who the prospect going from the Angels to the Dodgers would be? 

[Stradling]

They mention Taylor Ward going to the Dodgers as well

balazovic  Young guy.  Only in A ball.  But has potential.  Where Gaterol was ranked 2nd by baseball america in the Twins org, Balazovic is ranked 7, and not their top ranked starter who is Duran at #5.
