  1. All of you who are calling it a steal, maybe it is, but the Marlins don't get to have Torres in return when Yankees are picking up so much of the jack. That's just trade 101. If I was Stanton I would refuse to waive the no-trade and stay in Miami for the duration, bleeding them dry. Sure I'd never win a championship, but I hate the Marlins and I'm a vindictive S.O.B.
  2. and then a trade for Kershaw by 4pm this afternoon.
  3. Are we allowed to have a Designated Catcher? Swihart bats in Vaz's spot.
  4. Who only hit .280. Like I said, HRs are everything.
  5. 2017 HRs: Stanton, Judge, Sanchez, Gregorius: 169 Boston Red Sox: 168 fml
  6. I realize HRs are everything, but $300mil for a .268 hitter. smh.
  7. I was reading ESPN's conjecture today (that's all they print nowadays) that the Yankees would insist on Ellsbury going the other way in the deal. Not a bad haul if they can swing it. But they're trying to stay below the tax barrier, remember? wink, wink.
  8. Great news. Following being out on Stanton's ridiculous contract, this is 2 for 2.
  9. wait, there's a handbook? I don't think I got a copy.
  10. The offseason is way too long, and this place is reduced to arguing non-stop about the same thing every f***ing day.
  11. Somehow, I just don't care. I am skeptical of any talent coming over from Japan until proved they can play in this league.
  12. I think you missed the sarcasm. 300IP is 33 complete games.
  13. Wasn't even close, 28-2. That swoon to end the season really hurt.
  14. If I was Boston I'd say to Miami we may be interested in Stanton but strictly in exchange for cash - no players. And he waives the opt out. Then battle on exactly how much of the contract Miami eats. It really should be a buyer's market here with that albatross of a contract. But before I do that, I'm looking elsewhere first.
  15. Yankees should be the first team in MLB history to have two managers - one for home games and one for road games. Just because.
  16. Just checking - is this source your ass?
  17. RIP. I need to give the Teammates book another try.
  18. In real-world economics, but probably not in the reality of baseball contracts.
  19. The third degree burns from Dice-K still haven't healed. No to Otani.
  20. Better than I like JD at $200mil.
  21. by resigning immediately.
  22. LaRussa was behind the Shelby Miller fiasco. Now, that might be the only thing I've got on him, but it's not in the Plus column.
  23. Stanton's contract is too much heat. I think it's a sticking point for any trade partner unless Miami eats a fair portion, and Stanton tears up the get out of jail free card.
  24. There is no Dana, only Zuul.
  25. Any reason for his HR/RBI inconsistencies?
