Curious to see what Pitt ends up doing. Exciting if nothing else to hear the rumors

Dodger fans-Pro, word on Jonathan Martinez?

20 year old RHP, coming to us from the Barney deal.

Throw in Doubront and Theo quietly adds a couple low level arms to work with. Considering their track record with Hammel, Arrieta, and the guy we flipped last year, I love it. Let Bosio get some work with em and see how they look in a couple years when we should be improved.

 

[proshares]

Another decent arm, good control/command. Won't be ready for a few years.

Apparently, the Phillies asked for Seager, Pederson and Urias from LAD for Hamels their top 3 prospects and probably all in the top 25 in baseball.

 

[bronconation24]

Dfa hammel. Trade for Lester. Do it billy. I know you want to

Lady at the Giants game "catching" that ball with her beer cup has me rolling right now.

If Kershaw is in the AL and Felix in the NL are we talking about Felix as the undisputed best in the game?

No way to know, but I'm bitter that Felix is not looked at as the best bar none.

Love the AL/NL argument.

Felix wont get that type of love until he pitches for a team that matters and by matters I mean a team that has a chance to make the playoffs.

The Mariners have been irrelevant throughout his career. No prime time type games, no pennant races, no playoffs.

So the Mariners need to take the next step.

I think Mariners fans and baseball fans in general all want to see what Felix can do if given the chance to pitch in the postseason. I feel like he'd be lights out.

 

[HIM]

I heard a stat when we played against the Mariners.


Felix had 100+ games going 7+ and giving up 2 or fewer runs.


/nd place was kershaw with 70 something.


Numbers might way way wrong but felix was wayyyyy ahead of kershaw. i'md still take kershgawd over the Queen doe.

Spoke to a source within the Red Sox: "Lackey is gone. He asked to be traded."

 

[green rhino123]

the heck with him then

 

[thekidgriffey24]

Lester about to get traded to the Orioles.

 

[Hahahaha]

Would Boston trade in their division?

I don't buy that Lester is willing to resign with Boston if he gets traded.

Via @MartinoNYDN Os-Red Sox talks this afternoon have fizzled. Os, who lost Hunter Harvey for the season today, won't meet asking price.

 

[nooera]

Lester would re-sign with the Sox if they had the best offer. Which isnt happening

4 years 70 million

I don't buy that Lester is willing to resign with Boston if he gets traded.

agreed. just to add, i don't think the team intends to make a legitimate effort to resign him either. would have happened already and his price is only going to go up once he hits the market.

I think it was Heyman that I heard earlier today, saying that there's a lot of rumors that the Red Sox don't want to resign him.

typical

that's pretty annoying. the guy absolutely deserves what he's asking for and is proven. the only reliable arm on the team and we're cool letting him go

if he ends up in pinstripes...

 

[nooera]

Lester going to get around 6 for 140

[DeadsetAce]

you guys WOULD love another red sox player on your squad

Red Sox South

 

[Hahahaha]

Jacoby has been the ONLY Red Sox player I've liked in the last 10 years. It pissed me off cheering for him in Boston. I've been against Lester coming here since the talk first started but I've opened up to it these last 2-3 weeks

 

[proshares]

Lester is definitely NOT going to Baltimore unless Dan wants to burn the farm.

 

[kevin cleveland]

Kluber is such a dog. Three-hit shutout on 85 pitches, matched up against Felix.

Manny's arm >>>
