Hence why you have the Yankees...

I don't get the high bids on LaRoche... Not worth it IMO

Buccos now have Pujols, AGon, and cap room... Watch out FGM


Are you gonna crush this league Colb?

I'm surprised that David Murphy is already at $9m.  I offer him on the trade block last year with a cash exchange that would equal that contract or less and no one bit.

I'm not surprised.  There are always overpaid guys in FA which is why I'm not a big fan of building my team that way.  FA is good for about 1 or 2 guys but if you need more then that I'm sure it will hurt your cap later.

Pirates are using free agency to fill about five spots.  Pujols feels that the GM is doing the right thing as current rumors are that a couple outfields will be brought in on small ball deals.  With Ben, Caleb, and a couple free agent veterans, the outfield can be considered below average, but not so bad that it drags down the team.

Jeff Baker has been announced as a starting outfielder for the Pirates.  The fans aren't enthusiastic about the acquisition, but you can only expect so much after an off-season that involved going after Pujols and AGon.  The Pirates are rumored to be talking to Jason Kubel who is also taking interest from the divisional rival Cardinals.

Decided to let Alfonso Soriano walk as soon as I heard a rumor he might retire after the season. With the buyout rules on this site, not a contract I wanted to be stuck with.

When you have 100+ to spend a dead 4-5m isn't a big deal.  Especially if you're trying to win now.  Padres could never afford that much dead weight into the future.

  • Jwalkerjr88: It was dallas. I think he missed the playoffs that year. Then used the draft picks on the 2021 class. Every pick was the 32nd pick (dont remembee what the other 1st became)
    Yesterday at 10:18:22 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Idk if anyone remembers the 2021 class but it was weak on offense outside or the top 10-15. I dont regret the deal just learned and move on. As long as you have assets, you can mold your build how you want. Picks are usually the most valuable asset because most gms want in on a draft.
