GM/Winter Meetings Thread

[Tapate50]

I'm okay with DOB. He won't necessarily break news, but he's fairly blunt and honest and he shows his personality. I judge him for what he and not what he isn't.

Agree completely, I just found it odd he posted that seeing as though I was reading it on rotoworld a month ago

As expected, other clubs are saying the #Braves seem ready to be aggressive. J-Up is just one of the players being discussed.

J-Up and Gattis are obviously the most intriguing potential trade pieces. But Varvaro & Pastornicky could also be included in talks.

The #Braves are looking for one more SP and a 2B. OF mix will obviously be influenced by any potential deals involving J-Up and Gattis

Varvaro for Trout even up. Get it done now.

John Hart and Dave Dombrowski chatting in the lobby. Fire up the rumors!

Only if the Angels toss in some cash.

BJ Upton for Justin Verlander and Miguel Cabrera; Detroit throws in $5 million to help with Miggy's contract...

I wouldn't make that deal in real life. Seriously.

I know the money would be crazy, but it would be nice to have Verlander mentoring our young pitchers!

So you're saying there's a chance...

Best part of that, is at least the right Upton would be at the game....although wait...there would no longer be any BJ's available....so I dunno.

I guess now that Laird and Harang have moved on we don't need Anthony's connections at the grocery store.

Yeah could you Mike Minor getting a piece of ass similar to what Verlander has/had.

I personally find her a bit overrated. She's sexy, and I wouldn't turn her down, but there are way hotter girls than her. Like, way. She doesn't have a great behind, her body is all boobies. Which is fine, I love them, but my girl Jennifer Lawrence is more evenly distributed, and far more talented.

Minor couldn't pull JLaw though, so point is moot.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Jon Lester will choose between the Cubs and Giants

Imagine Mike Minor wearing some goofy flat bill cap with his ears popping out trying to run game on a female.

Right player. Wrong discount.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Lester could see some awesome numbers in San Francisco. That being said I see him landing in Chicago. Theo knows Lester very well.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Theo knows Lester very well.

Exactly the reason I think he'll land in Chicago

 

[Hawk]

Lester's agents denying that report, which makes me believe it's true.

 

[Heyward]

Lester, Bumgarner and Cain would be a sick top 3.
