Apparently Dale Benard retired despite being on the ML staff all last season and wants to be a pitching coach. Also, he might be pretty good. Um hell yes?

In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.

I need someone to take over a Clemens team in dire need of stamina fixing, it's on like a 31-game losing streak. CS wouldn't give it to TMB because he's already taken on another transfer team

Need help ASAP

Hahaha gently caress me I forgot automatic arbitration was at PM2 Part 2, rather than AM Part 1 so I'm stuck with Kurt Cardona for another season, who's made all the more useless by my Al Lopez acquisition. Yay depth?

Your team is now in the hands of a 5-time WS winner (2 in Hardball Central, 3 in something called 'Plumpy Rules!!!!!!111') with 96 previous seasons under his belt from 5 total worlds. So I guess AV has competition again! Especially if chutwig's continues to improve

Fortunately, the people found a mighty Rosenthal, called Trevor.

I'm really curious what the next best offer was on Burnett because I may have Jack Z'd myself and bid against my fears.

Also welcome back Brian Brown, you were insurance and now I have a lot of position players

$110mm contract, no trade, last season player option

Sean Creek's agent: "You know, they raised the minimum wage. Other franchises are offering more."

That's why I wondered who else was in. Don't usually see first day signings on contested guys. His signing price was the first offer I made and I led from AM cycle yesterday.

Better make sure that your Pitching Coach and Bullpen Coach's combined pitching IQs are the highest in the field.

I am so confused by this Art/nasboat trade

Art wants to get younger so he makes a trade where he gets older?

Three pitchers are involved and nasboat is acquiring the worst of them?

nasboat is adding another first baseman to go along with Fred and Vin?



There have to be complementary deals, right?

Theoretically, if I were good at trades, I would trade Del and Bo for younger talent. That is if I was good at trading.


Anyone want Bo or Del?

he's taking the talented pitchers so he can flip them, while still moving Cole and getting Yasiel

He arb3'd Matos so he's walking on him now, I'm gonna take him on and hope he flips for me and extends, Art swaps him for better trade value in Lorenzo

I'm jammed up on 1Bs and need to move one but haven't made any sort of other deal yet
