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

[mr jordan04]

Yankee fans and Cubs fans got they're head so far up their ***

What's new?

 

[dland24]

Heyman overvaluing what the Yankees got IMO. Torres is nice, but he's years away from sniffing the big league roster. Warren is meh, and the other two aren't impact prospects.

Exactly what I have been saying. Torres is irrelevant now and probably at minimum 2 years. The Cubs made a good trade.

But IMO, The Yanks would be stupid to pass up LG for Miller straight up. Sure, they might value quantity. But to get the #1 prospect? Id do it for sure.

Here's hoping Ichiro makes the postseason

Druggie Dee is back. Should push them over.

Druggie Dee is back. Should push them over.

Their leadoff guys slashed .324/.396/.420 while he was out. He's not gonna help them pitch better, which is what they need.

#1 pitching prospect > any bullpen arm
Yankees would be dumb as hell to pass that up

 

[essential1]

Problem is that there's enough push back saying Giolito isn't available at all.

But if he is available, and if you are the Yankees, you have to try to get more in terms of their top prospects.

Hell you got a guy like Gardner who would fit in Center for the Nats and immediately in the # 1 slot that would improve that team immensely, could eat Papelbon's salary in return if they are worried about the cost of adding Miller + Gardner. A bunch of mid-tier prospects in the middle infield, a few pitcher, and a few OFs that you could stand to lose.

Realistically, the Yankees could send 3 prospects to Nationals that would end up in the Top 10 without giving up your mainstays in the farm (Severino, Bird, Sanchez, Torres, Judge & Mateo) with Miller + Gardner.

Those kind of things you have to look to do if you're trading MLB talent. Can't just say deal, without trying to get more.

Damn

 

What about those SB's though?

Singles and Doubles that become Doubles and Triples?

BOSOX 1.5 out of 1st

  (w/ O's/Jays matched up next 2 games)

 

[CJ616]

Nats Triple Play 

 

[madj55]

Bases loaded, no outs. Dusty makes a triple switch. Nats turn a triple play. Still feel like we're gonna blow it though

[bronconation24]

No way. Dodgers taking the west

Sources: #Mets made three-player offer to #Brewers for Lucroy, headed by d’Arnaud. Second piece believed to be Nimmo or comparable player.

I hope the Brewers say no for Mets' sake

I hate panic trades

 

[madj55]

D'arnaud has been awful and is injury prone, if I were the Brewers I wouldn't do that deal. Mets should definitely make it.

 

[jewbacca2]

I can't deal with Colin McHugh

He's been good as of late though

Fiers has gotta go though :x

I'd love to see Musgrove and Brady Rodgers each get a handful of starts to see if they can help the big league squad this year.

 

[JCMojica24]

Everyone that is in the NT Champs League woudl ya'll be interested in Fantasy Football for Yahoo? I could set it up and send out invites to the entire league. Would be fun to have that and baseball

 

[checks grossman]

Travis d'arnaud sucks, how is he headlining any sort of trade?

Melancon to the Nats

Melancon to the Nats for two lefty relievers. I dig it. Now DFA Papelbon.

 

[thejet]

Jays smackin' in the runs.

 

[nomnom]

Mets have included Nimmo in a deal for Jonathan Lucroy

 

[macbk]

Kris Bryant heads up base running. He looked Out to me but wow.
