Jose Bautista flipped the bat to the Blue Jays and said he wouldnt give them a hometown discount after giving them one for 5 years. The 5 yr/$65 million deal he signed is a bargain now, but it was offered to him after his breakout year where the Jays didnt know whether it was a fluke or not. Now, Pablo Sandoval money (5 yrs/$95 million) or Yoenis Cespedes money (3 yrs/$75 million) might not be enough to sign him.

God knows we need someone not named McCutchen or Marte than can hit the ball. Pipe dream, I know.

LOL, Jose Bautista for some nobody named Robinson Diaz or something like that just might be the worst trade in Pirates history

Of course the one who wasn't showing as much promise as the others during that timeframe turned out to be a likely Hall of Famer. But hey, life of a Pirates fan.

Cubs traded Coghlan to Oakland. Coghlan was expandable, and couldn't hit lefties. With Heyward and Soler, the Cubs are going to need someone who can play all 3 OF positions and hit left handed pitching. That's why all of this looks like a precursor to signing Austin Jackson, a move the Cubs have wanted to make all off season. If that ends up being the case, I love the move. Brooks is really just a throw-in but he's 25 with a small sample size and might be nice in long relief or spot starts.
It's a small move, but a really important move. I like Coghlan. He seems like a good locker room guy and he's a talented player, but he's not good enough to break any of the OF spots and he deserves more playing time. I wish him all the best in Oakland. That being said, the Cubs need late inning defense, and particularly one that can spell CF so Heyward can slide to right.
EDIT: Ignore most of that, apparently Dexter Fowler just showed up at Cubs ST and said he signed a one-year deal. WTF is going on? Baltimore deal must have not been finalized? This is incredibly strange...

I'm curious to see how this new rotation/bullpen plays out in the Grapefruit, it's hard to tell if the Pirates will be all that good this season or not just by that, but it's a sure fire tell at the very least for a decent indicator of where they'll wind up.

this stuff with Chapman is complete bullshit. i thought manfred was going to be better than selig. he's clearly trying to figure out if he can use chapman as a scapegoat for future "events" like...why would he be suspended? there were no charges filed, the case is over, and even the evidence was sketchy that something actually happened. what the did chapman do wrong that deserves a suspension?

During Spring Training 2014, Ian Desmond, coming off a .280/20 HR/80 RBI season turns down a 7 yr/$107 million contract from the Nationals. He hit .233/19 HR/62 RBI last season and turned down the $15.8 million qualifying offer. The Texas Rangers just picked Desmond off the trash heap for 1 yr/$8 million and he will be playing LF.

Positives, people.

Damn, Altherr out 4-6 months from wrist surgery. Well, at least the Phillies are actually looking pretty solid so far. It'd be rad if we can eek out a 4th place finish over the Braves this season.
