    How many times do we have to go over this that its still the off season? You very well could end up being correct, and I will make good on the bet... but why on earth would I concede when we still have months left?

    Sounds like the Reds are close to signing Jennings on a minor league contract. That's ridiculous if we haven't explored that.

    Its been reported Yu Darvish was very open to a 5 or 6 year extension with the Rangers this offseason. No ****.

    At $30+M/yr

    I would like it reported that I'm open to a 5-6 year extension at my work for $30M/yr as well. Just so everyone knows.

    Yeah I forgot that part. Any pitcher that turns down 100+ million I root for their arm to blow out so they get pennies on the dollar of what they could have gotten.

    Braves signed former Roxs closer Rex Bothers to a minor league deal. sure there is an invite to spring training. If he makes the team, he is a great candidate to bounce back and trade.

    Good article for those of us that were flabbergasted that the Cardinals keep getting comp picks and we dont.

    Man pitchers and Catchers report in a week and Wieters still with no team. He is going to become cheap pretty soon. I wonder if Coppy has a year/price drawn in stone and told BorAss that is our offer if you want to take it. Or if he is completely off the table now that Suski is on the team.

    The Padres are also targeting early March for Christian Bethancourt's Cactus League pitching debut. He was up to 97 mph in games in Panama.

    at this point I wouldnt take Weiters for free. The only reason he hasnt signed is he greatly over values himself. I dont want a douche like that around our young players.

    It will be interesting to watch this develop.

    Jordan Walden's Minor League contract with the Braves has been voided because his rehab hasn't progressed as expected.

    Let's see if he can catch the return throws.

    @Jim_Duquette: John Coppolella just told us about Matt Wieters "he can help a lot of teams, including ours but it also comes down to the 'bid vs ask'

    I cant wait for Borass to get mad that no one wants to go anywhere near his asking price which is probably 4 years 60 million and starts telling teams they dont know how to win because Weiters compares favorably to Johnny Bench and Mike Piazza.
