The A’s clearly knew he pissed hot before they made the trade for Marte. He didn’t test positive yesterday. 

Justin at 1B when a lefty is on the mound? This would open up LF for Marsh or Adell when Trout is back. 

No trades for a reliever. They drafted 20 pitchers, most of them college players. One of them has to be ready by next year. 

We need a top of the rotation starter either from free agency or trade. We have enough 3’s 4’s and 5’s. 
 

Stroman, Ohtani, Cobb, Sandoval, Barria, and Detmers with Canning in AAA. I see Suarez as the long man and CRod as our closer.

Then why didn't he sign?

Who said the Mets offered a contract? They probably wanted him to get checked out by their medical staff and he refused. Tough to know what went on but there was no reason for Kumar not to sign if he was offered a deal. 

I read somewhere he was the only pitcher not to take a pre draft mri. Seems like he knew his arm was shot and he probably doesn’t want to go back to Vandy and get exposed. For once the Angels caught a break. 

2/15 how bad does he want to stay?

Stroman, Seagar, budget bullpen, and trade for a backup C. 

I think I read that Walsh struggles vs lefties so maybe Thaiss will become a platoon player at 1B. 

I’m happy about the trades but after all the drafted pitchers some position players would have been nice. 

Just look at what other teams got for their relievers and decide if you would’ve made a similar deal for Iglesias. 

Who had a better fire sale? Cubs or Nats? 

Shocked I tell you. 

For Luke Voit?

Have the Rays done enough to catch them?  No one else is even close.

Rays got Cruz and the Sox got Schwarber. Problem is Schwarber is still on the IL and the Rays are only 1.5 games out. 

Red Sox striking out, they need to make some moves if they want to keep up with the rest of the AL East. 

Mets get Baez. We should’ve sent Iglesias instead. 

Who here would have been happy with Madrigal for Rasiel straight up? Damn come on Perry! 

Detmers, Marsh, Deveaux, and an unranked guy would’ve been our cost. 

Both Adell and Marsh are playing tonight. 

Cishek to SF? We’ll take anyone back.

I have heard from source in section 248 that no team has yet called about Bundy or Quintana

Sugarland Skeeters?

Adell for only 1 1/3 controlled seasons of Berrios?   Pass

Don’t make me bust out the trade simulator! 

Kimbrel will go to the Dogs, Bryant to the Giants, Rizzo to the Sox, and Berrios stays put.

I would be totally fine trying to acquire Blake Snell from the Padres.

Agreed but they probably won’t move him until the off-season.
