      Duquette has said that unless offers improve Thursday, the Orioles will pull Machado off the block
      The more I read about Chacin the more Im loving the deal.

      I would really love for them to start Hader until Nelson comes back, but Im guessing he stays in the pen.

      I still want Stearns to go after Reed and Watson but we'll see what happens.

        At least he's not hiding his intentions. Basically getting free meal out of them lol. I'm sure other FA's knew what they were gonna do but just wanted to be taken out by other teams.

        Then you add in the fact Tampa plays in that trash stadium. It wasn't very well planned.

        I personally dont think it will matter if Tampa or St Pete gets a new luxurious stadium. The interest just isn't there. Quit fooling yourself MLB and move those two teams somewhere they can actually be appreciated.

        I wouldn't go as far as saying both should move, but definitely one should. Let's see how sports in Florida would work if you got 1 team representing the whole state in that specific sport.

        Give up everything and then some for him. Jays have so much riding on this decision that if they accept lesser or even equal value for him, fans will go crazy.

          Too bad Duquette is handcuffed by Angelos. They had a deal to trade Britton to the Astros last year that got nixed and i'm sure that in a perfect world Duquette would take most of the offers for Machado right now but he knows he has to get something crazy in order to placate his irascible owner.

              Dumb, he's going to walk the O's will get absolutely nothing for him. If he isn't traded now he probably isn't getting dealt at the deadline. The Angelos are that way.

How bout this: if Marlins Man gives a **** about baseball in Miami, don't support this ownership group until they show you results. All he's gotta give up is his camera facing seat.


                That’s, pretty much, exactly what he’s doing and what he said though, isn’t it? His whole point was the fact that he’s, arguably, one of the most famous baseball fans in the league and he said he’s not/hasn’t renewed his season tickets because this team is an absolute joke.

                  Love the move for Longoria for the Giants. Get another consistent if unspectacular bat in there, a guy who always plays as opposed to fragile ****s like Pence. And his defense is still pretty decent. Having him, Crawford and Panik should save some asses for the shaky Giants pitching outside Bumgarner.

                    True on this. It'll save some runs and hits. Especially for a Cueto and Shark. But i think a lot of their problems were Span and the entire outfield defense. Why i think Hamilton is the perfect fit to patrol center there

                      That's possible, and I commend him if he goes through with it. I don't think asking for Marlins Man Mondays or to throw out the first pitch did much to make them take him seriously. The funny thing is I could see them doing some "Marlins Man Day" promotion and maybe giving out the team visors. I wonder if that would make the team less of a joke in his eyes. Time will tell.

                        Yeah, but you can't steal first base. The Giants still have some offensive woes to consider.

                        Also, the Reds aren't interested in trading him, which means you're going to have to give quite a haul to create said interest.

                            Jarrod Dyson would be a good alternative to Hamilton, great in the field but a light bat. Unfortunately he's coming off of hernia surgery (which I believe Span was too when he signed in SF) and is the same age as Span.

                            Big thing is that he'd only cost money, no prospects. I'm not sure how much SF still has to spend this off-season.

                              Yankees are also in on Darvish now according to CBS Sports.

                                I'm pretty sure if there is a free agent on the market, the Yankees are in on them.
