The Winter Meetings

[Bruce Nye]

Isn't the 40 man full?

 

 

All systems go for a trade or two.

37 after the recent non-tenders

I hope the Halos win this offseason too however I hope we don't know it till half way through the season! If they can acquire 2 pitchers to keep Blanton out of the rotation that would be a huge win for the offseason. Maybe they can have Blanton pickup trash around the Big A to earn some of that cash he's getting!

It appears that just about every team is looking for starting pitching.  At least we only need two starters instead of three like last year. 

[Tyler]

Build a starting pitching staff then I'll call you a winner of the offseason. They were not winners last offseason.

Did the Winter Meetings start this morning? Or is this the day they all travel to get there and they really start tomorrow morning?

[Greg_Bearringer]

Reporters are there. They do a bunch of stuff like name each Minor league executive of the year and do some HOF stuff.

Everyone was suppose to get there late Sunday afternoon/evening. They end on Thursday at about 11 am our time (right after the rule 5 draft).

Anyone else just want to fast forward a few days to see what the hell happens? I hate the suspense and feeling tied to your phone/computer for days on end.

That's why I've just been lurking on the main board just every once in a while. Speculation can be fun but I'm waiting for some real news to happen.

Yup.  I continue to refresh the board every 10 mins.

Colon market heating up. Orioles, mets, others. If it's 1 year deal, it'll be significant number, maybe $10M plus.

Colon market heating up? Maybe some spicy chili.

So the Winter Meetings have started and we need pitching badly.

 

After day 1 here's what we know....... 

 

Albert Pujols is 100% healthy and our Angels "could" heat up discussions with Mike Trout around opening day.

I guess you chose to ignore the fact that they have spent the entire day fielding offers for trumbo?

We're shopping off the McDonald's Dollar Menu with three quarters in our pocket.

With how bad the Angels defense was last season they probably bobbled everything thrown at them.

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.

Rockies Acquire Brett Anderson

By Steve Adams [December 10 at 3:44pm CST]

3:44pm: The A's are sending some cash to the Rockies in the trade as well, tweets MLB.com's Jane Lee.

 

3:32pm: The Rockies have acquired left-hander Brett Anderson from the A's in exchange for left-hander Drew Pomeranz and right-hander Chris Jensen, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter).

 

 

Anderson has been around for five years already, but he's still just 25 years old (he'll turn 26 in February) and is under control at $8MM in 2014 with a $12MM club option for 2015. Those final two seasons were both option years on a four-year, $12.5MM extension he signed with the A's in April 2010, coming off a season in which he posted a 4.06 ERA with 7.7 K/9, 2.3 BB/9 and a 50.9 percent ground-ball rate.
