I'll be making my first spring training trip down there this coming season too.. going for the march 3rd-5th games.. any advice on how to get the full experience would be appreciated

According to this list, prospects acquired are No. 1, 5, 8 and 28 in Red Sox system: http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2016?list=bos For a guy like Sale or Archer, i think thats about the expected return. Would you deal Albies, Newcombe, Soroka, D. Cruz for Archer?... i'd consider that...

I think anyway you look at it, Chicago fans are going to be highly disappointed with any prospect package they get in return for Sale. Teams are holding onto their main and best prospects and the market for those prospects are nearly as high as proven MLB players. Teams are just hesitant to...

are you kicking Folty out of the rotation?

I think it was talkingchop.com or something similar who just came out with an article that said earlier in the year, the asking price for McCann was Folty and the braves declined. I would imagine that McCanns price has to come down from that AND the yanks eat a significant portion of the money...

I dont mind Joe Simpson. He has his moments of being pretty good... I do agree with Chip Carey though. He's awful. He's too much. As in, too fake for me. Honestly, i'm not sure who you could hire to be better, but i'm sure there are plenty of options. Brian Jordan is also REALLY bad imo.. His...

I agree it would be a Bud Norris type return, if not less for Harrell.. Point is, if these teams are serious about a playoff run, i.e. Texas or Boston who clearly need pitching upgrades, Teheran should be their main target and they SHOULD have no problem dealing bats to get him. At best, Harrell...

SUPPOSEDLY, the Braves have received several calls about Lucas Harrell.. Which, i find hard to believe. BUT, if true.. It shows the desperation for decent pitching around the league. Its debatable if young pitching is more valuable than young hitting. There are cases to be made for both. At some...

I really dont understand why people want Bud Black here. I agree with KB21, Black has already failed with a young team. I would love Showalter, Chipper, could we pry Scoscia from the Angels after this season? Eddie Perez wouldnt be my top choice, but i'd rather have him than Bud Black

I went to Fanfest today as well.. Overall, i was happy. I got most of the autographs i wanted except for two. Freeman and Swanson. The lines around those were so big and stadium staff had no idea how to handle it and handled it very poorly. Cops, fire marshals, irate fans, cluster of a mess...

on MLB trade rumors, Bowman suggest we'd have to clear payroll to make a move for Cespedes or Jup... how do we not have the payroll flexibility to sign both? muchless one of them.....

Not to mention Tyrell Jenkins... This is easily the best series of trades

Scott Wood?????.... how about Alex...

I know it might be a little early, but has anyone heard or seen anything about it for this offseason? are they even doing it?

Then you wouldn't be trading.. The cubs would laugh the braves off the phone..
