Around Baseball - 2013 Postseason GDT Edition

Tigers have called a press conference for later today. Jim Leyland will be stepping down as manager

[BRule]

MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez reports that the Dodgers have agreed to terms on a four-year, $28 million contract with Cuban second baseman Alexander Guerrero.
Sanchez says the total potential value of the deal is $32 million. Guerrero, 26, drew interest from the Giants, Rangers and Red Sox before settling with Los Angeles. He's a power-hitting second baseman and could open the 2014 season as the Dodgers' starter at the keystone.

He got a 10 mill signing bonus up front as well

Retiring or stepping down? Dumb if it's the latter.

With the Cards getting swept.

Stepping down i believe.

[yeezus]

With the Cards getting swept.

I'd honestly rather the Cards win than the Red Sox.

Same here. Don't know which I hate worse: the Cards' smugness or the Red Sox "aren't we so precious" cuteness.

Supposedly 2 years for $35M with a full no-trade clause.

WOW

[Bdawg2309]

hahahahhahahahahhaha

[CrimsonCowboy]

That goes way beyond dumb. Holy mackerel.

[Bj1133]

So that makes Kershaw worth what, $35 mil a year?

[Heyward]

So that makes Kershaw worth what, $35 mil a year?

They offered him around 30 a year.

[CrimsonCowboy]

I've gone back and forth on who I think will win, but my official prediction is the Red Sox in seven games.

[Dalyn]

Cardinals in five.

[Heyward]

Cardinals in five.

Same.

[JusticeForAll23]

Holy **** what a terrible call. Red Sox just got screwed big time if this doesn't get overturned. Instead of bases loaded one out, it'd be runners on 1st and 3rd with two outs.
