Hey TB saw you in the PSD Jays Rangers thread. My first posts there in 6 months because I live in Ohio and no one wants to watch these games with me lol
Sticking with the Dodgers, the CBS scribe adds that Zack Greinke will exercise his own opt-out clause this winter. That was a foregone conclusion, though Heyman notes that Greinke is said to have enjoyed the L.A. clubhouse much more this season, so his chances of re-signing may be better than previously expected. Why'd Greinke enjoy the clubhouse much more this season? What they tryin to say...Hahaha
Don Mattingly may be Jeffrey Loria’s preferred choice to manage the Marlins,CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman reports. Loria has “apparently developed a relationship with Mattingly, and is intrigued by the possibility” of having the Dodgersmanager shift into the Miami’s dugout next season. This would, of course, hinge on whether Mattingly is even available, though Heyman suggests that L.A. could look for a change at manager if the team fails to win at least one playoff round.
Evans: Giants Still In Hunt For Eddy Julio Martinez By Jeff Todd | October 9, 2015 at 7:31pm CDT Despite multiple reports suggesting that free agent outfielder Eddy Julio Martinez had agreed to terms with the Cubs, Giants GM Bobby Evans indicated today that his team remains in the chase for the young Cuban. Evans made those comments in a podcast interview with Tim Kawakami of the Mercury News. Eddy Julio Deandre Jordan Martinez.
Someone posted either last night or this morning that the Dodgers offered somewhere below 2 Mil for Martinez. Must not be all that impressed by him.
The Marlins have announced that five players were outrighted off of the 40-man roster. Preston Claiborne, Erik Cordier, Chris Narveson, Chris Reed, and Donovan Solano each lost their slots. With three 60-man DL placements, Miami says it has five open roster 40-man positions as things stand. Claiborne missed the entire season with a shoulder injury. Cordier, a 29-year-old righty, was strong at Triple-A. but allowed eight earned and posted a 7-to-6 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 12 1/3 innings of work in the majors. The 33-year-old Narveson marked his most extensive big league usage since 2011, but posted only a 4.45 ERA in 30 1/3 frames. Reed, meanwhile, made just two big league appearances after coming from the Dodgers in a minor mid-season swap. He scuffled at the Triple-A level in his first season of exclusive bullpen work. Solano is a 27-year-old utility infielder. He had seen extensive action in each of the three prior campaigns, but earned only 94 plate appearances this year. All told, he owns a .257/.307/.328 slash in his big league career. One of the biggest botched 1st rounders that everyone saw coming when the pick was made. Hurts even worse when Sonny Gray was the very next pick.
Can't remember anybody who wasn't pissed off by the pick but it was a long time ago, I could easily not be remembering correctly.
I clearly remember it. They said that Logan is very smart for taking this guy and at worst he will be a power arm in the BP, if not the closer of the future.
