Myshkin Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'd expect the Nats to get McCutchen for the pieces they gave up, and even then they'd be taking a gamble. But getting only Eaton for those prospects is insane. And if Pittsburgh wants more than that for McCutchen, they can keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nats seemed like they were the best option for the Pirates to get the best return for Cutch. Now, not so sure where they go from here. I've read the Pirates were insistent on Robles being in the trade, which makes zero sense when our top prospect is a CF who will be up sometime in the 2017 season most likely and they have Marte and Polanco locked up for a while on great deals so their outfield is set for the future. Starting pitching, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably be able to live with giving him four years with a club option but five years seems excessive. I hope they didn't give him a no trade clause.

Yeah, how many closers stay dominant for that period of time? But hey, it's the Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I hate that I agree with Scott Boras on this. The amateur players in Latin America are the players who are going to be fucked by this. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/18230188/scott-boras-new-cba-hurt-mlb-latin-america Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myshkin Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Dodgers re-sign Jansen at 5yrs/$80mm, and are said to have a deal in place with Turner at 4yrs/$64mm. Happy to see both of these guys coming back. Nats apparently offered Jansen around $5 million more, but a lot of the money was deferred. Marlins are also rumored to have offered him more, but who wants to play for the Marlins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they went far enough with it, just ban rookie hazing period. It sends the wrong message to ban certain kinds but not all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Pesci Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Buccos sign Ivan Nova for 3 years, $26 million. Kind of strange in such a thin SP market that he only got that kind of money. Hell the Astros gave Charlie Morton 2 and $14, and he's complete trash. Regardless, it's a great deal for the Pirates and gives them a workhorse in the rotation.
