Hard to take what Heyman says seriously though, i do hope hes right we seek a middle of the order bat. Current lineup aint good enough to be nice.

Heyman did break the Felix news FWIW... I don't like the guy but maybe he's got someone hearing something true, maybe not.

i think the Rockies could kick in cash for a better prospect package and the casual fan ("it's not my money") wouldn't bat too much of an eye.
they can't trade him for very little while providing zero cash like his contract dictates tho. the fans would be extremely upset.

The casual fans are only going to see that the Rockies traded their best player.

News breaks on Braves news when it's done, not actual rumors.

Can't argue that one

My sense is that, all else equal, I'd prefer Castellanos, but I'm not entirely sure why I feel that way.

Because he's younger, a better overall hitter and his defensive numbers seem to be improving, even if ever-so-slightly.

And no pick attached.

[salmagundy]

Hech is more likely than Culberson imo, due to the glove.

And he's on a MLB deal while Culberson is on a MiLB deal with non-roster invite.

[UNCBlue012]

LMAO.

LMAO.

The way Manfred seems determined that tradition means nothing worth a shot for the Dodgers fandom I guess.

He is younger, though not by much - he's about a year and a half younger than Ozuna, who I thought was much older than he actually is. Which is maybe why I feel the way I do - Ozuna just has the feel of someone who's degrading in front of us. He's a fraction of the player he was just a couple years ago.

Biggest news of the offseason; the Phillies just signed Bud Norris. We are officially FINNISH

Those exit-velos last year though ...

LMAO.

I doubt anything like that happens—at worst, those teams have to “vacate” their championships. But you don’t just award titles to the losing team on the assumption that they would’ve won but for the infractions.

[CyYoung31]

In that case, we should be awarded the 1991 World Series.

[CyYoung31]

Jeter 99.7%.

[The Chosen One]

Jeter 99.7%.

Walker at 76%.

Schilling at 70%, probably gets in next year.

Nice!!!!

[CyYoung31]

1 year, 18 million. Interesting. Basically Donaldson 2.0, except without coming off an injury.
