1. Every movie he's made is bad. 2. See #1. 3. Dumb people must like him.

It was a player option for Nunez with a $2M buyout. Cots.... 1 year/$6M (2018), plus 2019 player option re-signed by Boston 2/18/18 18:$4M, 19:$4M player option ($2M buyout) 2019 option may increase $1M based on 2018 plate appearances may earn additional $1M annually in performance bonuses Nunez exercised 2019 player option at $5M 11/1/18

Lateral move but $4M cheaper. With RP'er costs sky rocketing, we may need that extra $4M.

Soria signs with the A's for $15M/2. Thoughts of signing a solid RP'er on the cheap seem very remote.

2 reasons: 1. Money 2. Winning

I never liked him either, but people flock to his movies just to see him. It might take 3-4 really bad movies for him to not be offered a lot for his next movie.

They do seem to do well with pitcher acquisitions.

Think of how signing Abreu, instead of Castillo might have changed a lot of poor, future choices we made.

What about trading Nunez for some salary relief ($5M) and getting Tulo at min wage? We'd still have Holt, Lin, Hernandez, Swihart, Chavis, Travis & maybe Dalbec for infield depth.

Okay, but he'd be cheaper than Kinsler. The problem is, he wants to play FT, and he'll know if Pedey is healthy, he won't.

The Beckett re-signing might be second worst. Julio Lugo, Jose Offerman and others are probably far behind.

I was thrilled when we got him and predicted 50 HRs. He did well here, but he quickly broke down afterwards. Thank you, Ben, for trading CC, Beckett and AGon. The money saved and FA signings like Uehara, Napoli and Vic brought us a ring during a time we were supposed to be rebuilding.

Then just trade him to clear a roster spot and gte a less than decent prospect. Andujar at 1B makes more sense than trading him to make room for Machado. I'll be thrilled, if the Yankees get MM. He's a cancer.

We did end up signing Kinsler and had Phillips in AAA last year, so I guess the idea is not illogical.

I like Holt better than Nunez, but I don't see anyway Tulo is in our plans, unless we trade Nunez, Holt or Pedey.

Put him at 1B and trade Voit for a decent prospect.

Don't get me wrong, I was a huge fan of Theo, but there a very striking difference in major deals made before the great Nomar trade and after. Up to and including Nomar: Todd Walker for Thigpen & Blanco David Ortiz, Ramiro Mendoza, Mike Timlin, Bill Mueller& Bill Haselman Bronson Arroyo & Bruce Chen claimed off waivers B-H Kim for Hillenbrand Papelbon and David Murphy drafted Kevin Millar & Gabe Kapler for cash Mike Gonzalez & S Sauerbeck for Brandon Lyons & Anasracio Martinez Scott Williamson for Phil Dumatrait Jeff Supan, Lyons, A Martinez for Freddy Sanchez & M Gonzalez Lou Merloni for Miniel Keith Foulke, Jeff Bailey, Bobby Jones, Mike Timlin, Pokey Reese, Frank Castillo signed Curt Schilling for Jorge de la Rosa, Cassey Fossum & B Lyon Lenny DiNardo rule 5 Mark Bellhorn from Colorado Pedey, C Meredith & Steve Pearce drafted Orlando Cabrera & D Mientkiewicz for Nomar Garciaparra & Matt Murton Mike Myers off waivers Dabid Wells, E Renteria (we ended up paying $32M for 1 year), Matt Clement, Wade Miller, John Olerud, F Dubront signed Ellsbury, Hansen, Buchholz, Lowrie drafted Alex Cora for Ramon Vazquez David Paoley & Jay Payton for Dave Roberts Josh Beckett, Mike Lowell & G Mota for HRam, Anibal Sanchez & others Mike Loretta for Mirabelli Andy Marte for Renteria & cash JT Snot, J Tavarez, T Graffanino, C Breslow, Alex Gonzalez signed Coco Crisp & David Riske for A Marte, K Shoppach & G Mota Willy Mo Pena for B Arroyo Mirabelli for Josh Bard & Cla Meredith Daniel Bard, J Masterson, R Kalish, B Belt, Lars Anderson drafted Javy Lopez for Adam Stern Carlos Pena signed Eric Hinske for cash George Kottaras for David Wells JD Drew, Dice-K, Julio Lugo, Okajima, A Castillo, J Piniero signed Middlebrooks drafted Eric Gagne for Gabbard and David Murphy Sean Danielson for J Piniero Curt Schilling, M Timlin & Mike Lowell re-signed Daniel Nava & Bartolo Colon signed I'm guessing those deals after 2007 are still in people's memories.

I'm thinking trade.

And AGon.

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.

Plus, they usually get more endorsement money, but taxes may be higher than other choices.
