MLB NEWS/RUMORS Thread

Yeah, hopefully, Verdugo would be more reliable than Ethier.
As in, if we're in the post season and the opposition puts their best lefty starter on the hill in an all important game, he'll be able to start the game and help the team.
That's my only hang up with the Ethier comparison..I don't want Verdugo being shitty against LHP

 

Buyer beware tag possibly applied big time here
Pisses me off even more that Toles got hurt and they eventually had to call on Verdugo at all and give him the opportunity to fuck up and further expose his maturity issues
Of course, Toles had his own problems in Tampa..similar stuff..maybe Toles needs to talk to Verdugo, tell him how he could be sacking groceries in a heartbeat if he doesn't pro up

Kirk's going to throw out the first pitch opening day

Can't wait till the season starts. We have unfinished business.

 

Got have some personal time too

 

Someone should have Jesse Orosco put some shoe polish in his hat.

For you kids who don't remember.........

It's like a creative writing course on here...I guess if your team does pretty much nothing or very little, you make up possible scenarios over and over again to create drama.
"Never before has so much been written about so little"

Drama :crying:

 

FAKE NEWS!!!

 

For some reason the Pirates traded for Corey Dickerson, and the Rays traded a guy who is good at baseball for someone who isn't, Daniel Hudson.

 

Rays had already DFA’d Dickerson so they had 10 days to trade or release him

 

I figured that out after, I guess $6M is too rich for their blood.

 

The sort of offers they were getting for Dickerson all along, even before he was DFA'd

 

Down goes Tampa's #1 arm on the farm.
An opportunity for LAD?


Rays top pitching prospect Brent Honeywell has been diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, tweets Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Tommy John surgery has been recommended for the promising 22-year-old.

 

A candidate for a multi-year year.

 

You lost me, or I lost you..not sure, probably both. Was thinking more so that with their top young option to join their rotation this year going down, and potentially never being the same, that LAD could throw some quality non-Buehler volume at them for Archer and get them to blink. None of the guys that are in line to help LAD's big club this year, though.

 

I was referring to Honeywell.

 

Oh ok. Yeah, I wasn't going for the " he's hurt..let's get him " joke there
Julio is already LAD's Honeywell
