MLB - NEWS & NOTES

Nationals acquire Adam Eaton from White Sox for three top prospects ...

 

Jeff Locke signed by the Marlins ...

 

Which means he's starting in centerfield and the McCutchen talks have stopped and will probably be in center for the Pirates when the season opens......

 

They finally got rid of him. It's about freakin time! Good Luck Fish, you'll need it!

One being Giolito...

way too much for Eaton IMO.

 

WHY IGLOO? Im not a Marlins fan?

 

Marlins are fish, dude. Not everything's about you.

 

Guess that balances out the perceived light return fo Sale lol.

 

Y

Rick Hahn will be arrested before leaving Maryland for robbery! Geez did he kill the winter meetings.

 

touche!

 

who?

 

igloo calls me "FISH" all the time. i think he was talking to me. remember he's old and senile too.

 

White Sox GM

 

oh ok. i thought the Sale deal could've been better, but he made up for it big time with the thievery for Eaton.

 

I think it would be tough for a team to justify giving up more than he got for Sale. You are probably never going to get full value when you trade a guy like sale. But he got a lot. But yeah, I think he robbed the Nationals with Eaton.

Also between the 2 trades, he everything he got back was close to major league ready. I see this as a parallel to the Cubs 2014. They were awful first 6 weeks of the season. But then played .500 Ball the rest of the way. Alcantara, Baez, Hendricks, and Soler all made debuts after the Samardzija trade in early July. Bryant and Russell ended the year at AAA and Schwarber was drafted and I think ended the year at AA (ridiculous).

I see something similar with the White Sox. Although they have more pitchers than hitters and the Cubs had no pitchers.

 

Center fielder Dexter Fowler, fresh off a historic championship run with the Chicago Cubs, appears to be joining the rival St. Louis Cardinals.

...

MLB Network's Jon Heyman suggested the deal would be worth at least $16 million per year and be worth $80-90 million overall. St. Louis Post-Dispatch beat writer Derrick Goold backed up that notion.

 

Diamondbacks sign Rodney to one-year, $2.75M deal ...

 

Angels acquire Danny Espinosa from Nationals ...

 

The Orioles have made Mark Trumbo their best?offer

There?s been quite a bit of back and forth between Mark Trumbo and the Orioles this month, and Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports that the team?s best offer is on the table. Previous reports indicate that it?s the same four-year, $52-55 million deal the Orioles tried to push several weeks ago, which?fell short?of the $75-80 million Trumbo?s team was said to be seeking.

Trumbo doesn?t appear to have made his final decision just yet, but it?s not for lack of?interest. The veteran slugger batted a cool .256/.316/.533 during 2016, contributing a league- and career-best 47 home runs in his first season with Baltimore. The Mariners, Rockies and Indians are among those reportedly in talks with the 30-year-old, though no competing offers have been publicized so far this offseason.

 

imagine Trumbo in Colorado ? wow. how many HRs would he hit there?
