Nats sign Anibal Sanchez to $19M/2 with a $12M option third year and a possible $33M/3 with incentives.
-
Fess up! It's made of cardboard with glossy paint!
-
I thought it was the computer used in the movie War Games and notin modified it.

The Angels have signed Trevor Cahill. It’s said to be a one-year, $9MM deal. Cahill will be able to tack on another $1.5MM via incentives.
-
Talenti (Brand) Sicilian Pistachio- Try it!
-
Plus, they usually get more endorsement money, but taxes may be higher than other choices.
-
I feel the same, and the Yanks are too deep to try a plan B of signing 2-4 mid range free agents, instead. Is signing Kikuchi, Britton and Moose really an option?
-
I agree, but I also think he made some marginal plays look harder than they were by doing his jumping, twisting twirl throw, when others would have simply planted their foot and throw the guy out easily. For that, I feel, some thought he was a better defend er than he actually was. Man, they guy could hit! Except for his 2001 injury season, he hit over .867 for all 7 years, including being over .946 for 3 straight seasons.
-
Okay, he hit well for another couple years or so, but was never a FT'er and ended up below .793 with the CWS and LADs. Not bad, but not the Nomar we knew.

I thought we had sufficient pitching depth last year, although we ended up needing to trade Beeks for Eovaldi. Sale Price Porcello ERod Pomeranz Wright Johnson Velazquez Beeks Cuevas Haley We basically got nothing from Wright & Pom, Sale and ERod missed significant time and we still won by a pretty comfortable margin, in hindsight. Our pen consisted of... Kimbrel Kelly C Smith Thornburg Barnes Hembree Workman Smith and Thornburg gave us just about zilch, but we had this depth: Brasier Wright, Johnson & Velazquez Poyner Walden Scott Brasier turned into a gem. Beeks got us Eovaldi. Despite all the missed time by so many key pitchers, we only needed to add one pitcher (Eovaldi). We have the same starters returning, except for Pom. Beeks & Pom are replaced by Eovalid. Our pen looks short, but I don't think DD is done.
-
Yes. It's not like we have oodles of ML ready prospects needing innings at AA and AAA. We still have room for a couple more guys like Putnam and Ramirez.
-
Kinsler signs for $8M/2 with the Padres.
-
There's still a lot here to dig up, if one is so inclined.
-
They actually get paid less than other entertainers like Rock stars and Oprah.
-
Was Theo the GM, when they offered that contract to Nomar?
-
I'm certain we acquire a solid RP'er somehow.
-
You want to keep some room at AAA and AA for rising young prospects, so we shouldn't sign 20 guys like this. (Not that this is what you were saying.)
-
He got injured, apparently in a non-baseball way, and the Sox did not pursue getting out of paying him, or something like that. I know we offered him a big deal, and he turned it down. Some thought he was pouting and feigning injury. I never liked his defense and thought he was all flash and not a plus defender, but man he could hit up until we traded him. Again, fantastic timing on the trade.
-
How many for Barnes and Thornburg? I guess they made their choice on who they think our closer will be.
-
Got that right!
-
Brantley to Astros for $32M/2.
-
Man, we are bored, aren't we?
-
1,000 Harold Baines's would make the Hall worthless and futile. Just one comes close.
-
I understand your feelings, and I hope Betts retires in a Sox uniform. I don't think it should be an automatic decision to match any offer made to our aging stars, however.\\ I was glad to see Nomar go and predicted the trade would bring us a ring based on a massive improvement to our SS defense.
-
Yes, it's a good starting point with possibilities to have great gains without adding any new players. Of course, someone will get hurt, but it will take a lot of injuries to cancel out the above additions, and I didn't even mention Pedey.
