@ScottLauber Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo on J.D. Martinez: "I don't think I've seen a more passionate, smarter hitter walk through his day-to-day activities. He studies, he watches as much video as I've ever seen." Arizona is hoping to re-sign Martinez but...

That's not true either. A700 is right wing and will say some vaguely political things from time to time and usually gets a pass.
-
Yes, that's definitely the same as saying "liberal pussies."
-
Chavis plays 2b?
-
Not really. Poor bat tool.
-
@PeteAbe Boras defended JD Martinez as a RF, saying metrics are skewed by Betts and Heyward. But also said Martinez would adapt to a team that wanted him to DH.
-
I would hold my nose and agree.

@pedromoura To recap yesterday, Shohei Ohtani has a small tear in his elbow, as is common for major-league pitchers. The Angels knew about it, as did the other teams who pursued him. On that, and the Angels’ inclination to use a six-man rotation to keep him healthy
-
Yup that's the concern area for me. He's only projected to have 120 innings. At least JBJ can lace them up everyday.
-
Hard to be an ace if you've only thrown over 140 innings once in your MLB career.

@nickcafardo The Red Sox were one of the teams who called the Orioles on Manny Machado. -
https://www.overthemonster.com/2017/12/13/16771182/alex-cora-red-sox-lineup-craig-kimbrel-xander-bogaerts Yooooooooooooooooo... Alex Cora is saying that the Sox are going to have a different offensive approach this year. They were too "passive" last year taking too many pitches down the middle early in the count. "We're going to talk to them and tell them to look for a pitch in the middle of the strike zone and do some damage with it." Be still my heart!
-
Nope. The Boras narrative is overstated. He's not the devil. His clients will sign early. His clients will sign below market deals if they want to stay.

@alexspeier Lovullo on Martinez: ‘I don’t think I’ve seen a more passionate, smarter hitter walk through his day-to-day activities.’

Also, effffff Tom Verducci. Any baseball writer who still calls Fenway a "band box" in this day and age is a dum dum. Everyone knows it's slightly below average for home runs and above average for doubles and triples. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2022901-ranking-mlbs-most-hitter-friendly-ballparks-by-the-numbers Effffff lazy sportswriters. Send them to the guillotine.

“My scouting report on Dave,” said one veteran advisor, “is that he will say no, no, no to your deals until eventually he will say yes.” Soooooo very desperate!
-
Always? No. See Jacoby Ellsbury and Jason Werth who were both signed in early December.

No chance you can trade Wright for anything. If they are trading JBJ, they need to sign a good glove 1b like Santana. I'd rather just plop JD at DH and have him only play LF part time. Salazar is a good pitcher, but that's a lateral move at best.
-
Yes he is! Meeting with Desperate Dave tonight too!
-
Yes
-
@bradfo Dombrowski said he hadn't had any push back from free agents about being full-time DH
-
JD Martinez is on his way to Orlando right effffffffing now.
-
That's not what he said. Provide a direct quote please.
-
Never said that.
