Around Baseball Offseason Edition - Derek Jeter will retire at seasons end

damn, the stove is heating up

Looks like the Rockies bargained too hard with Fowler last offseason. IIRC he was one the Braves' original choices for CF, but Colorado wanted a massive haul.

Yep, they asked for Minor AND Julio plus some other players.

Ridiculous.

Ellsbury supposedly going to take a physical with the Yankees tommorow.....

Nothing confirmed but jeez, money talks.

To add more fuel to the Ellsbury to NYY rumor Heyward posted earlier, Jon Heyman: http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer...ng-close-to-a-sevenyear-deal-with-the-yankees

Star free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury is in serious talks with the Yankees and the sides appear to be close to reaching a seven-year deal. sources said.

"It could happen," said someone familiar with the talks.

It is believed the deal would exceeed Carl Crawford's $142-million, seven-year deal.

I wonder if they are bluffing Cano, or are ready to kiss him off?

 

[skidlee]

I don't think they are bluffing. They are not going to bid against themselves and right now they would be.

 

[Heyward]

I'd rather not, he's not that good.

 

[Perfect Cell]

hes worth the 7m hes getting

anyways Ellisbury to the yanks is done

 

[skidlee]

I'd rather not, he's not that good.

He is ok but Gattis will hit much better then him and they are about equal with the glove.

 

[Heyward]

I wonder if they are bluffing Cano, or are ready to kiss him off?

They arent going to wait on Cano, and watch all the top FA's go off the board.

After Beltran/Mac/Cano/Choo/Ellsbury, etc, it gets REAL thin.

 

[yeezus]

With all of this happening so quick, I could see Cano pricing himself out of the market, like Bourn did last year. Teams will not talk if you want 260 mil.

 

[Hudson2]

Wow it's been a super busy day. May not be much goin on at the WM's with a lot of big names off the board.

 

[emk418]

Why he's not good? Not saying it's a bad contract but I would much rather go with Gattis.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Looks like the Yankees are back to their old ways.

Ellsbury deal is seven years, $153M
