This ends the Tim Lincecum era in SF



It's bitter sweet

The writing was on the wall after 2013. His time will always be appreciated.

6/$130M for Cueto with an opt out after the 2017 season

 

[nomnom]

Bring Lincecum to Seattle pls if he doesnt stay in SF

And yay for Cardinals and Dodgers missing out on anyone!

That's a pretty early opt-out too.

 

[ny mavurs]

Wait the Giants got both Samardjza and Cueto

Only bummed about Greinke walking and the Chapman deal falling apart.

Otherwise, I'm with the plan of building a deep farm system. To build from within, or trade for the right guy. Sadly that plan takes time.

Would you want Jose Fernandez?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Bring Timmy to Queens until Wheeler is ready.

 

[ooiron manoo]

Would you want Jose Fernandez?

Not at his current asking price.

Cueto

hate he his starts will be so late now

 

[chris82790]

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 3m3 minutes ago
so cueto deal is slightly frontloaded ($46M of $130M comes in 1st 2 years) before player opt-out after '17

 

[black59razor]

 

[thejet]

Cueto's elbow still an issue though?

 

[DadNboujee]

@DWolfsonKSTP: #MNTwins sign lefty Buddy Boshers to MiLB deal w/ invite to spring training, per source. Precious MLB experience w/ Angels.

Who

 

[mr jordan04]

Cueto's elbow still an issue though?

That's why I assumed he had a 2 year opt out. If he gets hurt, well he came up 130 mil. If the elbow was just temporary, he'll opt out and get another 100 mil maybe

 

[Mr.Guy]

Free Pete Rose!!!!

 

[macbk]

Free Pete Rose!!!!

Got an ESPN alert he's having a press conference ?

 

[nick.]

i haven't laughed this hard in a while

 

[rolaholic]

Shirley not Puig right??

@JeffPassan:
Source: Dodgers, White Sox nearing a trade. Top pitching prospect Frankie Montas is going to Los Angeles, so it could be pretty big.

 

[Los Angeles]

strange ... unless theyre using these prospects to flip them

 

[johnnyredstorm]

gotta be puig to get montas.

 

[Los Angeles]

white sox really wanted frazier, puig not involved, wonder who they threw in to get montas.

 

[rolaholic]

Wow what is Cincy doing?
