    Money laundering -- maybe the world' s second oldest profession.
  2. a700hitter
    The GM gets paid to know who is available.
  3. a700hitter
    Definitely, he would not be a half year rental. He would be a 2 1/2 year acquisition and we need pitching. He will cost a lot more than Hill, but I wouldn't view it as sacrificing the future. Our system doesn't have a lot of pitching talent and we have an ample supply of hitters. Swapping some hitters for 2 1/2 years of a solid pitcher is not sacrificing the future. To me that would be a move to build for the future.
  4. a700hitter
    Correct. The Marlins are not going to move one of their marquee players at this point. They will make a run at the playoffs and try to inject some enthusiasm to build a fanbase in Miami.
  5. a700hitter
    We will have to see what they get. This is all just negotiating posturing that they are doing.
  6. a700hitter
    I agree. I really don't care whether he signs or not, because he will not be coming to Fenway for 5 years under the best of circumstances. I will shake my head that the momos in the FO wasted a high first round pick if they don't get it done. Maybe they can retain one of those Dominican Agents who has a bag of untraceable cash to help them get it done.
  7. a700hitter
    Do you really want to give the FO a feather for the Lugo contract?
  8. a700hitter
    I am and was glad that we got him. We are discussing the negotiating acumen of our FO who I claimed would lose a negotiation if they negotiated with themselves.
  9. a700hitter
    Lucchino admitted that there were no income stream from Japan created as a result of signing Dice K. Also, just form a negotiation standpoint and gauging the market, they overshot the closest bid by $16 or 18 million with their bid of $52 million.
  10. a700hitter
    They would certainly be selling high on him, but we should be able to get him without breaking the bank.
  11. a700hitter
    I bundle them all together. They are all overpaid knuckleheads. It is just a matter of degree.
  12. a700hitter
    Don't take it so personally. I have little regard for any of the overpaid FO knuckleheads in MLB. Anyone with some business savy can eat their lunch.
  13. a700hitter
    I agree. I think we can land a #4/5 pitcher, maybe a couple of them without mortgaging our future. We supposedly have such a deep farm of prospects. We should have enough chips to get it done. I am not looking for them to get Price and Tulo. Rich Hill or Pomeranz would suit me just fine.
  14. a700hitter
    They are the team for us to beat in the second half imo. Their offense is just starting to get rolling. Bautista will be back from injury and they have better pitching than us.
  15. a700hitter
    My only point was that if the Jays could land 2 premier players and an All Star reliever at the trading deadline, we can land a # 4 and #5 without mortgaging our future. I am not interested in excuses by the FO if thy don't get it done. As for the Jays, they are probably the strongest team in the ALE. Dickey has put up solid and consistent performances over his tenure with the Blue Jays. Yeah Noah looks like a stud, and I hope that he will be a stud, but that one trade will not undo the Jays. He has been experiencing a dead arm and he has bone spurs in his elbow. So, who knows how long he will last. Here's the scoop on d'Arnaud. He had better step up the offense and learn to play another position, because he couldn't throw out that 103 year old woman that ran the bases in Toronto last week. Swihart is Johnny Bench compared to d'Arnaud.
  16. a700hitter
    It was more of a horror show before the last few years when they tried to build with prospects and didn't want to mortgage their future. Their fans were waiting for the future for 20 years.
  17. a700hitter
    The overpays for Dice k and Lugo were extreme.
  18. a700hitter
    Babe, anyone in pinstripes is Yankee trash. Ortiz is becoming overly sentimental in his final year.
  19. a700hitter
    And if the twits in the FO to your suggested negotiation approach with this twat, I have no doubt they he would already be signed. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe DD has some balls. The last 2 GMs wold lose a negotiation with themselves.
  20. a700hitter
    These guys are so desperate for drama that they dramatize everything. After a while, we realize that the drama is not all that dramatic. Sorry Joe. You suck and Smoltzy has no business being in a national booth.
  21. a700hitter
    Yankee trash Betances may blow this game for the AL.
  22. a700hitter
    Now you have lost me.
  23. a700hitter
    LOL! He must have been tough in school.
  24. a700hitter
    How many seasons has he pitched complete second halves?
  25. a700hitter
    Tha CYA narrative gets rolling at this time every year. They will whine about the cost. They always do. I'm not interested in their excuses. The Jays added Tulo, Price and an all star reliever last year at the Trading Deadline.
