He would improve our rotation 1,000% but this seems like the longest of long shots.

Not if Arte’s offering the extension Max wants that’s better than SDG or LAD.

True but the red light district at night is pretty fun. An open block party. I stumbled my way back to the hostel. A boat hostel at that. Amsterdam is a great place. My other European recommendations: Munich, Prague, Brussels, Edinburgh, and Belfast.

Was gonna mention Prague and Belfast in mine as well. Kudos for Munich. 

Athens and Rome are up there, too, if we're keeping it in Europe Big Cities. 

And kudos to Lou for Barcelona. 

I love Paris, but eastern Europe is more fun, IMO. Budapest is a blast. So is Warsaw.

It’s almost like the Yanks’ GM is Dipoto lol

Big brain Perry is leaking this report so people can say he tried this deadline even though we don't do anything.

This reeks of Arte. Fortunately, Scherzer essentially gets to decide which team he wants to play for and I can't imagine he'd choose a .500 team over the Dodgers or Padres

Love it

 

We wont get him, but at least we called.

And I hope its just to flip him to the Padres. For free even. Then xerox the dodgers a picture of our butt cheeks

Good point, Scherzer isn’t a slugger.

I thought every major leaguer wanted to play for Maddon.

Not true?

Arte just nixed the deal.  It was taking too long.

He looks at our pen and sees one giant brown eye, just like him....

Suzuki, Eaton, Rendon, and Scherzer. The gang will finally be back together.

That may have been the best post i ever make on here

[beatlesrule]

I think we can settle the Angels are going to sell or buy debate now. Then again, maybe they do sell if they don't get Max. I still maintain they aren't going to sell and either stand pat or make a minor buy. History is on my side.

And Boras.  Boras would love to get him in the LA market.

Taken earlier today after his start, right? 

Let's not get our hopes up. Furthermore, I'm not convinced this is the right move, depending on the trade price and extension.

If the talks with Scherzer include an extension that doesn't look like utter madness, then I really like him as mentor to the young pitching staff we're likely to have next year.
