2015 WINTER MEETINGS THREAD

Ugh. If the Dodgers can get a talent like Chapman headlined by a Jose Peraza package it makes the Olivera deal even more abhorrent.

Yet isn't it odd that LA feels so confident in Peraza that they'd rather sign a 37 year old Utley, coming off a year in which he barely hit over the Uggla/ BJ/Mendoza line?

I'm not sure how much value Chapman really holds with 1 year remaining to FA.

to a team ready to win this year.. I would think a lot. they may value Utley more than Peraza if it meant trading Peraza turns into Chapman/Jansen two headed monster coming at you.. Not that they think Utley is better than Peraza..
 
Rosey: Back to Baez: #Cubs surely talking about him with teams other than #Rays as well. Can bring them the young, controllable starter they covet.
 
"Excellent" - Mr Burns

Completely agree. No reason we don't make a deal with them - well, unless they're idiots and don't care much about winning a WS. Adding Shelby would be a perfect match to go with Arrieta and Lester. That's one hell of a 1-2-3.
 
Mark sheldon: Sources saying no deal done yet for #reds and #dodgers on Chapman. I'm hearing multiple teams could be involved.

Awesome. The Dodgers can end up with Chapman and Miller and we can end up with an over the hill hitter who wont hit his weight!
 
Stark: Not sure what to make of this. But Reds telling teams they haven't yet agreed to trade Aroldis Chapman to LA. I don't think Dodgers agree
 
I had no idea the Red Sox got Kimbel. So Kimbrel, Carson Smith, Uehara, and Tazawa? GOOD LORD
 
Per Crasnick:
#Braves want to add a CF, but don't want to surrender a draft pick for Dexter Fowler. Even Austin Jackson might be too pricey.

If #Braves can't add a CF in trade, they might just go with Michael Bourn and a low-priced RH bat, like Drew Stubbs.

If Drew Stubbs doesn't get your heart racing I don't know what will!

At that point, why bother signing anyone? Just use Eury out there with Bourn. Or grab literally ANY rule 5 guy and stick him out there.
