Things are looking up! Niners tho.,,smfh screw Jed York.

Montreal pinstripe jerseys were so clean. If not Montreal, Portland or Charlotte. The Southeast kinda needs another team besides Atlanta. And it would be a better baseball market than NOLA. As long as the A's dont move though...

 

[nomnom]

I'm really hoping that the A's keep the Lawrie and Lowrie infield

But if they trade Lawrie instead of Valencia because of the crowded infield...Well...this might be me lol

I need to see Lawrie on the A's vs the Royals

Ridiculous GOAT stat of the week.........

In 2004, Barry Bonds became the only player in Major League history to reach base safely (376) more times than he had at-bats (373) in a season.

Happy Thanksgiving baseball fans. Hope you all have a great day with your loved ones.

Speaking of which, Buster Olney reports that there is an expectation that the Red Sox will be the high bidder for Price, but the lefty’s interest in going to Boston is the subject of some debate. I have heard similar rumblings from various quarters, so I was not surprised to see Peter Gammons suggest that the Red Sox might be the favorite for Price, and report that one NL GM speculated Boston would go $30 to $40 million over the top of the next highest bid to get him. That might be what it takes for the Red Sox to actually land Price, and they could be willing to do it.

Consider that new team president Dave Dombrowski, who traded for Price back with the Tigers, has said that the team is likely to find its starting pitching addition(s) in free agency rather than trade, following the acquisition of Craig Kimbrel. There is a crystal clear need at the front of the Red Sox’s rotation (when you look at their positional talent, back-of-the-rotation depth, and bullpen, there’s so much talent), and next year’s free agent class looks to be as exceptionally weak as this year’s is exceptionally strong.

And very importantly: the Red Sox have one of the highest unprotected draft picks in 2016 (number 12 overall). Does anyone think they’re going to give that up to sign a second tier free agent, or to spend $100+ million on a top tier starter they don’t love? David Price, by contrast, is a top tier starter the Red Sox probably do love, and he doesn’t cost a draft pick because he could not be made a qualifying offer.

Add it all up, and yes, it sure does seem like the Red Sox should want to go very aggressively after Price.

Well well well...

@jonmorosi:
David Price won't return to Toronto. #BlueJays announce their longest-term rotation investment of winter: J.A. Happ, three years, $36M.
