awesome possum Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Rumors over the last 24 hours have the Cubs going after James Shields and Jonny Gones along with Epstein saying they still want to bring a "big bat" into the organization (though whether Montero counts as the big bat is yet to be seen). I don't think the Shields rumor holds water though, that's too much money on two pitchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smegma Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Did the White Sox just trade Vicedo? Nothing official yet, but it's a possibility that he may go to the Mariners for Maurer. A lot of grumbling Mariners fans on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smegma Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Also is it just me, or are these winter meetings even busier than usual? There may be a bias in my evaluation just because the Sox are making so many moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercenaryChef Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 kemp to the padres. i thought about it all day at work. it bothers me a lot. when he should have won the mvp i was as loud as anyone that he had been robbed. when he was injured i was optimistic that he would return. when he did come back and started to find his swing again this last season i was happy as could be. i like the lad a lot. yes, the team has a glut of outfielders. i would have wanted to dump crawford. but, crawford isn't going to command the trade value as matt. i may get a shirt this year that says 'why not crawford' on the back. there is a lot of passive aggression in the kemp trade as far as i see it. we sent him to a nl west 'rival.' we said to the padres 'even with this guy you are are nothing to fear.' and to matt we said 'you are not worth us keeping, but you are not good enough to actually elevate a shitty padres team.' there has been a flurry of activity on the dodgers this off-season. i just hope it results in something. anything less than a world series appearance will be a failure to me.

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Desperation...or just dumb. Seems to be a shortage of decent 3rd baseman this off season. I've been wondering who the Giants are going to get to replace Pablo, and it's looking more and more like it's going to be a farmhand. Not much out there.

Really the most baffling thing about the Matt Kemp trade is the Padres trading for him. The Padres are not going to be competitive for a while, that is just the reality, and even if they have Kemp when they are competive, it will be an older, more easily broken Matt Kemp who, in all likelihood will be an even worse fielder and be in serious decline in the other parts of his game, not to mention they can't hide him at DH. It's really too bad the Dodgers started demanding Paxton or Walker when apparently the Mariners offered a good middle infielder in Brad Miller and then some, Really overplayed their hand on that one. Now give us Scott Van Slyke for something reasonable so we can platoon him in the outfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myshkin Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Man the Padres are really going for it. First Kemp, now Justin Upton and probably Wil Myers. Meanwhile the Giants re-sign Jake Peavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
