    Not sure where you are getting that we would celebrate them doing something stupid. We are pointing out that they are overpaying dudes to come to a team that has major holes that one or two guys are not going to fix. If anything it is frustrating. They are are the MLB equivalent of Leroy Jenkins.

    1st of all.... :laff:
    2nd of all, Suggesting Lux could play OF gives me hope they'll sign Rendon like nothing else before.

    Roberts said that Turner willingness to move "set a tone for the offseason." Sounds like they have some things in store.

    • Whoa, the Astros are said to be looking at trades for Carlos Correa. Dude was a monster this year when healthy, but that has always been the problem as he hasn't played more than 110 games in a season outside of 2016.
    • "Bidding is getting serious and intense for top free agent pitcher Gerrit Cole. Strong likelihood deal gets done here. Dodgers, Angels, Yankees, 2 mystery teams said in." From Heyman
    • Nomar Mazara is drawing strong interest from the White Sox. Dude has been a below average hitter each of his 4 years in the game, soooo why not, I guess
    • "Dodgers, very disciplined in free agency in recent years, are willing to make an exception for Cole and are thought heavily into the bidding. Hard to say who’s favored but they are perennial winners with deep pockets and seeming resolve in this case. NYY, LAA, others in." - Also from Heyman and he is being crucified for being a Boras mounthpiece.

    Sure... the cheaters are trying to get ahead of suspended/ banned players and get something back before the hammer drops.

    I actually thought the same thing. I would not be shocked if they feel their house of cards is about to collapse and they need to clean house.

    Imagine we send Lux and May to the cheaters for Correa only for him to become banned or suspended for a long period of time? Wouldn’t touch a player from that team.

    I would be less worried about a suspension (at least if he’s suspended you don’t have to pay him), and more worried about how good he really is. The Astros putting guys on the block from their cheating scandal? FUCK THAT noise! We literally have no idea how inflated their stats are. Fuck the Astros.

    They aren't gonna trade either of those guys this offseason, but I get your meaning. I think teams are going to be very reluctant to make a deal with the Astros in the years ahead.

    Tru dat.

    I keep thinking about how all the small guys out there who looked up to Altuve because hes a small guy who rakes and proved so many people/ scouts wrong etc. I myself have used him as an example for my own son. Shameful

    Heyman is starting to pump up the Dodgers in the Gerrit Cole chase.

    Let's dive back into this one from last month...


    Multiple teams have already come out and said they are close to capped out financially or have a goal to reduce payroll. The speculation that this is going to be another shitty offseason is growing fast as the owners are positioning themselves to beat the MLBPA into submission a year from now with the new CBA negotiations.

    Teams that have said they are close to maxed out or are needing to reduce

    Red Sox
    Cardinals
    Rockies
    Astros
    Indians
    Mets
    Cubs

    Teams rumored to have tighter finances this year
    Braves(they have been spending)
    Padres
    Brewers

    Teams that are expected to tank on or aren't likely to spend
    Tigers
    Royals
    Orioles
    Pirates
    Rays(they don't spend, duh)
    A's

    Teams that have said they are going to raise payroll this year or are rumored to
    Angels
    Yankees
    Reds
    Phillies
    White Sox
    Marlins
    Giants

    • Astros and Giants are said to be the Mystery Teams in on Cole.
    • Dodgers seem to be the front runners for Ryu

    I've seen others report the Giants and Astros as two mystery teams like he is trying to get one of the two LA teams to pony up, like maybe there is definitely something to Cole wanting to be on the west coast or LA in particular.

    Yeah, literally both of the LA clubs rivals are suddenly in the mix? Definitely seems like they are trying to drive his price up.

    Verducci is reporting that the Dodgers are heavily involved in the Cole negotiations. Also says that his sources say that Houston is absolutely out.
