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

man i just notice the modesto A's are now the modesto NUTS???? wtf when did that happen? NUTS?

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Don't see the big deal with letting the A's move to San Jose. The relationship between the A's organization and the city of Oakland is strained, and who wants to play in Oakland?

Giants are the only team with "territorial rights", I think their brand will help them keep the sponsors they feel they will lose.

Let the A's thrive, if it's San Jose they want, let them have them.

Not only that, but San Jose is fed up with having to be a minority player in the baseball scene and are threatening to sue the Giants if they impede an A's move.

The highest paid outfielder for the Mets in 2013 is Bobby Bonilla LOL he's still under contact in deferred payments.

Thought this was a joke for split second, but then thought about it and looked it up. Bobby and his agent did it right. The Mets...Not so much.

 

[mr marcus]

How much is he getting?

 

[651akathepaul]

Bobby Bonilla turns 50 years old Saturday. Bonilla will continue to receive annual summer payments from the Mets of $1,193,248.20 through 2035 as part of a deferred-compensation agreement from his playing days.

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Trading him for Beltran and we didn't make the playoffs or resign him. L

 

[lightweight champion]

Every Giants beat writer said it would be 3-4 years before Wheeler would be ready. It's been a year and a half and he might be ready this season

On the other hand, Tim Alderson is nowhere to be found so its kind of a wash.

 

[651akathepaul]

I'm thinking about buying a 6 game flex-pack for the M's this season.

Cubs
Twins x2
Orioles
Blue Jays
Angels

Might do Angels x2 though...That team has a lineup for the ages.

 

[lightweight champion]

Is seeing the orioles high on your priority list?

 

[651akathepaul]

Not really, but I'm all for checking out a young and up-and-coming team. Jones, Machado, Wieters...Could be fun.

 

[lightweight champion]

You got a pretty good package then. Unless of course Baltimore or Toronto completely flames out this year

 

[651akathepaul]

I'm sure one of them may I'm sure I'll end up changing something up right before I actually buy them, but that's what I'm thinking as of now.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

It's going to be interesting to see if Bringin in the fences at Safeco will benefit the M's

 

[651akathepaul]

At this point, it only can. The back end of the rotation may take a hit, but a few of those guys won't be around in a the next few years anyway.

 

[proshares]

The Mets OF is ATROCIOUS

 

[cdonwashisname]

Jason Bay is acactuallyhe highest paid Mets right now

The Wheeler heist

The soon to be Dickey robbery

 

[kevin cleveland]

Wheeler looked brilliant yesterday. All that matters for him is command, and he had it.

 

[madj55]

Granderson out 10 weeks

 

[mfreshm]

Damn the Yankees are gonna miss Curtis they're looking like a 3Rd place team in the AL east

 

[651akathepaul]

[lightweight champion]

Nah nobody sucks as bad as the sox.
