2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

From Crasnick:

#Astros have discussed Drew Storen as possible late-inning option. More a fallback if they don't land Chapman, Giles, McGee in trade.

Excellent

 

[madj55]

Shark got a limited no-trade clause as well.

Sources: #SFGiants still in on Leake, also like Iwakuma. Nothing brewing in trade discussions at this time.

Giants defense will help him slightly but I don't see it being enough to rationalize the contract. Much rather they signed Lackey and Leake instead. I love the Lackey deal. Yeah the money is a little steep but two years is so worth it.

We'll give you Puig

That just might work

woah woah woah.....Shark got $90M? :x

 

[finallyfamous]

Man they better not trade cookie for PUIG

 

[jewbacca2]

That Shark deal is going to look like a bargain as long as he's just slightly above average

 

[khalilmack52]

yall so ready to run him out of town

It's an even year, a former A's player joins and we win the World Series

Evaluator on LAD: "They spent $62 million on an unknown" --Hector Olivera-- "but were outbid by $30-40 million on a known star (Greinke)."

Really annoying Twitter doesn't copy the @______ anymore :x

 

[Los Angeles]

The money wasn't the issue though, it was the amount of year(s) they were willing to give and what zack attack wanted.

thought it was just me

sometimes it doesn't copy the link to a story either

Greinke is worth six years. Worst case scenario he's Colon in year five and six. Guy gets by on knowing how to pitch.

 

[macbk]

Shark getting $90M :x dude gave me such a headache all fantasy season long this year. In either case, don't think he's worth that money, he's very fortunate to sign for that much.

 

[khalilmack52]

SF being a Pitchers park could really help him
