Yankees doing what they do best, throwing money around and still failing to win shit.

They have Stanton's carcass and now Cole to deal with for like 10 years combine. What about Judge? They will no doubt want to keep him when he's up in a few years. Another 300 million?

Jesus Christ, MLB needs a fucking salary cap now.

7 years ago...here were the top 5 contracts handed out to Free Agents

1. Zack Greinke, 6 years, 147 million
2. Josh Hamilton, 5 years, 123 million
3. Anibal Sanchez, 5 years, 80 million
4. B.J. Upton, 5 years, 75 million
5. Nick Swisher, 4 years, 56 million

Rangers trade for Corey Kluber

Clipper Nation

12-15-2019, 04:49 PM

I can't believe how little the Rangers had to give up to get Kluber. DeShields Jr. isn't that good, and while people rave about Clase's 100mph cutter, I don't think that's nearly enough of a return for a proven star like Kluber.

Robz4000

12-16-2019, 02:02 AM

This isn't 2015-17 Kluber tbh. Not sure I like this trade, but it's not like they had to give up that much tbh. Gonna miss DeShields though.

Can anyone tell me what exactly are the Red Sox doing to better themselves? They are literally having an off season. As an zero to no activity.

Betts needs to leave that team in a hurry.

Chris Fall

Doesn’t Tommy Pham have a degenerative eye condition? How long will he be able to play in the majors before it becomes prohibitive?

I wonder if the free agent market continues to be frigid for guys who are a tier below the max big name guys like it has the last couple winters, maybe guys like Puig and Ozuna could be had for 1-2 year deals.

Chris Fall

01-07-2020, 05:23 PM

Sure, if there’s evidence and it’s proven that they did it too. But as of what you posted and what is known, one is a case where people who were employed by the Astros admitted doing it and the other is a team being accused of doing it by the Astros, who are pulling a kindergarten “but they did it too” mea culpa to the Principal. Not quite the same thing just yet. When there’s proof the Yankees also did it, then it rises to the level of the Astros. Until then, we wait for that evidence.

And, yes, crucify ALL of them. Fuck them all.

You mean Red Sox, no?

Lol @ these teams not learning their lesson when they cheat, and then essentially fired players and personnel that have knowledge of the cheat. You can’t keep cheating under wraps when you have hundreds of people in the know.

Not a good look for Cora either. He’s coming from a team that is being investigated to a team that essentially did the same the following year.

I feel the wrath of god coming to these two teams.

Lost in the shuffle,

Braves unwilling to overpay for Donaldson's 3rd and 4th year. Braves willing to take a 2020 dip in performance for the future. Braves always the long game, don't like to overpay for veterans. We will see how this young core we have been reading and hearing all about performes. Right now Riley/Camargo at 3rd base.

Verdugo and a pitching prospect is just a pitiful return for Betts. The Red Sox basically just salary-dumped their best homegrown player since Clemens. Henry got his rings, now he's going to turn that franchise into the Marlins of the AL. Hope Sox fans are prepared for years of suckitude with a cheap owner.

That being said, would anyone be shocked if the Dodgers still choke in the playoffs?

Sox owner knows what happened with Cora there. They may have to vacate their championship. Nuclear Winter upcoming for the Sox tbh

Reck

Losing Betts sucks but maybe he can come back after he plays the one year and we can offer him money. He most definitely need to get pay so I dont blame him at all.

I think we got the best out of Price in 2018 so good luck Dodgers with this guy?

Reck

Betts a player we definitely need, a low strikeout, high contact kind of player. Every year, what kills the Dodgers in the playoffs are strikeouts and run manufacturing. The only caveat with Betts is if he'll be motivated enough, since it's likely a one year rental before he becomes an FA. But hopefully the big payday he's bound to get from a great season will motivate him.

Haven't been on ST for awhile, so I missed the Kobe incident. Sad.

Good pick up. The player we needed. You won't be disappointed with Verdugo if he stays healthy. Great plate approach, low strikeouts, and is a guy who has .330 average potential, easily.

Yes. MLB is perfect for this situation. Just cut a portion of schedule off and no one feels cheated.

Just cut off the first third of the regular season? But that will mess up all the matchup requirements and teams will play odd amounts against rivals etc.

that's not really fair to say the AL East if they have 3-4 quality teams, but 2 teams from the rust belt get in with better records because their division was shittier from top to bottom
