maqroll Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 The grass at Fenway might still be growing, but the Hot Stove is already simmering- Reports today that Boston wants to sign Carlos Beltran, likely signaling the end for Jacoby Ellsbury. Some dumb club is gonna spunk $100m/5 yrs on Ellsbury, and he'll be injured half the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviramsey Posted November 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2013 Huge trade as the Tigers send Prince Fielder to the Rangers for Ian Kinsler and about $30 million in cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 They'll probably be looking to shift Cabrera to first base now, which makes sense. Prince was a huge letdown for them this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted November 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 22, 2013 Apparently I got the direction wrong... it's the Tigers who are sending the $30 million along.They probably need to free up space in the wage bill for Scherzer.

maqroll Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 LOL, 7 years, $153m Good luck with that I'll be surprised if he's healthy for more than half of that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1974Centenary Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Apparently the Mariners are ready to offer Robinson Cano a 10 year $230~240 million contract, nice work if you can get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I know next to nothing about baseball, but I wanna get into it. Gonna read up on it and stuff to learn the rules and watch a few games etc. As a big NY Giants fan it makes sense to stay in the NY area. Therefore I will bypass the obvious choice of the Yankees and choose the Mets as my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty pleased with the Granderson contract, we really need someone with power in the outfield. I was expected far worse than 4/$60m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 To be fair, the Metropolitans are on the way up from recent years down in the dumps. Good time to start following them. And glad to see another VTer show interest in the other Beautiful Game, welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 "good" is all relative. Good time for a Met fan in comparison to previous years, but we're still a way from even being a .500 team IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 I wouldn't be too worried. He's old and injury prone. They've got a lot of money wrapped up in a very fragile OF now with Beltran and Ellsbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I love him though and would like him to get a ring. Would by typically sickening that after those great years as a Met if he would get one as a Yankee.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
