Salty is a better player than Gattis. Im not sure where you guys come up with this stuff.

LMAO... not a chance! In no universe... IMO, its not even really close. But you've been putting your foot in your mouth about Gattis for about 2 years now, so I understand you're trying to save face but just admit you were wrong about him and we can move on.

Sure there is more uncertainty about Gattis than most players. But it isn't crazy or silly to say that odds are he'll be better than Saltalamacchia in 2014.

And its not like Salty has really had many good years... actually last year was his only decent year... the only full time year where he hit over .235. Gattis posted a .771 OPS in his first year, better than any year of Salty's play except for last year (and even then, their years were very close). And Gattis, IMO is a much better defender.
 
3:07pm: The Mariners may have topped the Yankees' offer to Cano, a source tells Anthony McCarron of the New York Daily News. That same source indicated to McCarron that the Mariners are pursuing Cano "guns-a-blazing," and making the pitch to Cano that he can either be a Yankee legend or be a baseball legend by helping the Mariners win their first World Series.

Per MLBTR....

We're lucky that our farm system allows us to avoid doing things like that.

I wouldnt mind Cano, he's one my favorite non-Braves but not at the price he's asking.

With them adding Ellsbury/McCann, im not sure why he wouldnt take a little less and compete for championships there. But if he all he wants is money, more power to him.
 
Why in the world would you play for the Mariners over the Yanks just to earn a few million more dollars? What in the world is he going to buy for $200M that he can't buy for $180M?

I will never understand why these guys who are already filthy rich choose to play for a terrible team just to become a tiny bit filthier.

I had read they have an offer out to Infante as well. If they sign KJ, does that dry up Infante's market just a bit?

That'll be funny to have another team's fans argue about who is better, KJ or Infante. But they need Prado to make it complete.
 
I am still trying to figure out in what Universe Ellsbury is worth 21M a year. Leave it to the Yankees to skew numbers for all the teams with lesser payrolls. Just watch them drop another 100M on that Japanese pitcher.

It's funny how the TV shows are debating "Can the Yankees afford Cano after they just gave Ellsbury that contract?" Little do people forget the Yanks also just gave McCann 80 million last week. lol

Lmao. Get the fudge outta here. See "Rangers land AROD" articles for any future perspectives, Cano.
 
I feel like Seattle would be better served going after Tanaka and some lesser offensive pieces than wasting money on Cano.

Well, as a place to live: Seattle > New York — at least for certain persuasions.

Yeah but most players really don't "live" in the cities they play in. They have off season homes in the place they're from, or a warm weather climate, or both. If they have kids they usually stay there during the season and come up to the Major League city for a few weeks in the summer. They're on the road half the time anyway; they usually just rent a place or even stay in hotel for the season. Maid service, y'know.

Cano might want to go someplace besides New York but I doubt it. Yankee's get everything they need in the big apple and they know how easy it is for the team to "reload" if they happen to have an off year.
 
KC traded LHP Will Smith for OFer Aoki from the Brewers. That would have been a nice pickup for us. Good leadoff hitter.
