The Reds get Gray and extend him on a 3yr/$30.5M contract. The Mariners get 2B Shed Long and the Yankees get RR’s guy OF Josh Stowers and a comp pick.

Whew. That’s a lot of shit going on there. I don’t know how much better the Reds are going to be next year but they sure as hell will be a lot more interesting.

The Reds confuse me. They are not a Sonny Gray away from winning. This is their new Homer Bailey deal.

$30M is not $100M. Not even close to a Homer Bailey deal.

Well yeah I wasn't really meaning the money part of it....you are correct on the money part.

Nick Markakis resigned with the Braves for 1yr/$6M.

Coming off a season like that. Sheesh

The Giants signed LHP Drew Pomeranz to a 1yr/$1.5M deal

The deal includes $3.5M in incentives. Weird off season for the Gigantes. I thought they would be much more aggressive than this.

Thy should have blown it up LAST off season. There's 3 better teams in their own division.

Yep. Really! Fucking! Smart! Pussy! Ball! They’re better so let’s not even try!

You ever heard the phrase "putting perfume on a pig"?
They are a 73 win team with a 24th ranked system in a division that's a killer. The Padres are coming also. Projected to win 10 more games in 2019. It's over for the Giants. Oink Oink.

I think that’s the White Sox slogan this season.

Losers mentality. Exactly what the owners want from their sheep. Baaa

They are basically dealing with the same thing the Rockies do with that bandbox. They have to take any decent pitcher who agrees to play there.

The Dodgers signed AJ the Pollock to a 4yr/$50M deal

The deal includes opt outs, incentives and escalators. I hope for the Dodgers sake there's a team opt out.

Steal.

Looks like they are out on Bryce.

Seems to be the Phillies, Nationals, and maybe White Sox are still in on him.

What a sack of crap, 3 ped suspension.

Which is Moylan missing 6 years on his Baseball reference stats? Jap?

The Astros signed LHP Wade Miley to a 1yr/$4.5M contract

Miley was really good down the stretch last year and now he's getting on the Astros sticky substance express and his SPIN RATE!!!! is going to go thru the roof!

The Rangers sign Davidson.

The Rangers got themselves a helluva....pitcher?

Rockies are going to lock up Arrenado long term, that should speed things up for Machado.

Manny will not sign before March 1st, book it.

Starting to look like it Cashman, I think if the Yankees got into this, it would be over, seems like that's where Machado and Harper would like to go if they had their choice.

March 1 isn't that far away anymore.

My assumption is that they will try to miss as much of ST as possible if they aren't getting their optimal deal

Just my wish is the Braves get Keuchel, I think that makes them more legitimate and I wonder where Adam Jones ends up too, one of my faves
