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

This is why bad teams stay bad

 

[jewbacca2]

The A's are just a constant cycle of trading prospects who become players into more prospects

 

[DeadsetAce]

The A's released Billy Butler and are going to eat like $11 next year


That deal NEVER made any sense

But didnt want to pay Josh Donaldson.  Oakland A's baseball.

i honestly don't know how A's fans stay fans. i went to the game against the Red Sox the other day and was sitting there looking at the A's lineup and thinking to myself, "who the hell are these ******* guys?!?!" it was like that construction worker from Major League talking about the Indians roster

 

[jewbacca2]

Same feels looking at the box scores from the Astros 100 loss seasons.

Just an embarrassment to baseball

Trout should be MVP

 

[j rain]

I might be reaching, but I think there is something physically wrong with Harper he's not disclosing. Illness, ailing injury ... Something. He doesn't look right.

 

[madj55]

I think there was actually something wrong with his right shoulder when they had him sit for a week.

Not sure why they don't just rest him now at this point.

Didn't he have a neck issue at one point

 

[jewbacca2]

The only thing wrong with Harper is the fact he got back together with that succubus he calls his fiancé.

Yep, at least that's what they said it was.

Billy Butler to Yankees LOL

I go to the game tonight and we beat the Rangers.

Can't believe I was the secret this whole time

 

[jewbacca2]

 

[dland24]

Kyle Seager, Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz have 99 homeruns combined.

Damn.  

 

[a-friend]

 

That is a lot though, isn't it?

Win a game. Lose Altuve and Bregman. Still can't win

Just had a 20 minute conversation with a few coworkers about Danny Almonte. Dudes a legend

 

[jewbacca2]

It shouldn't be

Need at least one OFer and a 1b/DH.

Those players could be on the roster or in the system now. Yes, I'm looking at you AJ Reed.

Musgrove, Devenski, Feliz, Paulino, and Martes are all guys who could sure up the rotation next year, but they still need to trade for a solid veteran or even a true ace.

Altuve, Correa, Bregman, Springer, and Yuli is a very solid core. Just need to round the roster out with guys who aren't absolute zeros. This team is so close to being good

He's made everyone wonder if they could dominate the LLWS at an age greater than 12

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Bregman has been so good since the initial struggles

Doesn't he have a 30 for 30 due out?
