I feel like they were waiting for us to trade for Victorino and then "alright, let's pull this trigger"
also, wtf Padres they might trade headley AFTER signing Quentin and Huston Street lol. still cant believe they signed huston street. probably could have had a team overpay for him
Reds Acquire Jonathan Broxton By Tim Dierkes [July 31 at 2:28pm CST] The Reds added a closer to the NL's best bullpen today, acquiring Jonathan Broxton from the Royals, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter link).
Long view. We have cash in the offseason. Melky is an FA that they now have to resign. Pence will make at lest 15mil. They are struggling financially. Trust me, this is thier team for the next four years.
Unfortunately, I agree. I expect Greinke to Re-sign with the A-Holes, and ownership will feel pressure to make a splash. Hamilton is the best way to do that. But long-term it will be a regrettable signing. Puig doesn't even have a professional AB yet, he is at least a full-season away, probably more.
Putting Ethier at 1B and then paying him the 17-18M dollars salary thru age 36 is gonna suck. Was not really worth it in RF and now at 1B is def not worth it. But fuck it, we the Dodgers bitches.
What do you have in mind as to why you want to move Puig to first? I would be against moving him to 1B to answer your question.
The bright side is, I do not believe ethier has a no-trade claus...at least it wasn't mentioned. He can be sold as a DH/OF sometime in a few years if he doesn't keep up.
No shit! Don't worry though, there will be more, that's the beauty of it. Teams like the Reds, Miami, Tampa Bay, Pirates, etc. can't keep these guys long, they will have fire sales like Miami and we will swoop in like Chinese men with fat wallets buying up neighborhoods.
