2017 feels like a year when all of these teams are loading up on aces and boppers and all these superstar young players are breaking out and somehow an 89-win cardinals team led by the emergence of some guy named spunky walnuts wins the world series.

drat I wish the Rangers gave him that deal. But hopefully this means we'll have money to re-sign Yu.

Shapiro and Atkins knew he wouldn't accept that within a day of free agency. They didn't want to sign him.

Inshallah. I don't think we have any prospects who are due up with acceptably goofy names, unfortunately. Paul Dejong maybe, if the Jedd Gyorko/Jhonny Peralta 3rd base experiment fails?

Bye Edwin, this makes me super sad. Combined Bautista and Edwin are gonna get less guaranteed money than a relief pitcher and the Jays will sign neither.

His people asked to have the case dismissed in October, and I don't see anything more recent about it. I wondered the same myself.

Shortly after clinching the Series in game 6, Spunky Walnuts grabs at his face, pulling off the incredibly lifelike latex mask covering his true identity of who else but...David Eckstein.

Braves extended Ender Inciarte, 5 + 1 option for ~$30.5m. I'd say that's buying high after his outstanding last year but that still sounds really cheap.

e: he was already under control for a few more years, so this is basically just a raise?
ee: he had four years of arbitration

I'm still so pissed. Like all they had to do is not blow their loving load on Morales and this would've worked out. Worse is now I have to hear about how prudent and fiscally responsible the Jays are from my stupid rear end friends. loving 20 mil a year for EE is a steal. He could hit his win share valuation in the first 2 years.
