If I’m Donaldson I’d just bring my MVP trophy with me and every time the Blue Jays argue why I shouldn’t get my arb number I just tap the trophy as my rebuttal.

I know eh? I get that they are just trying to keep his future arb figures down, but damn-they just gotta pay the man. Make it rain for the bringer of rain and lock him up long term. Sign Bats to an extension so he can finish his career as a Jay as well.

Maybe Arte Moreno is waiting to sign Bautista as a free agent in 2017. Since he won’t pass up the luxury tax. The Angels have a lot of money coming off the books next season. This would be the big bat we need. Kalhoun could move to LF. Although the only problem with Joey Bats is that’s he’s 35 years old.

Your last sentence is why it won’t happen, I think the Angels have learned their lesson with aging free agents (Hamilton, Pujols, Wilson) Although pujols hasn’t been awful he wasn’t the pujols they thought they were getting, and I doubt Bautista would collapse like that but I mean why take the chance when you could try to make a run at Harper a year later
Philliesfan4life
Because Harper will prolly be with the red sox or yankees

And because it would be two years later.

I wouldn’t mind the angels going after Bautista next year, then move calhoun to left. Or maybe they sign reddick
Varitek'sMitt
No Harper please. I can’t stand that guy.
PhilliesFan012
Probably but there’s always a chance, I just think the Angels need to get younger not older

Don’t give up the draft pick O’s. Your farm sucks. Sign lincicum (spelling?) to a one or two year deal or make a trade for a SP. and don’t line up 9 SP guys and rotate them in and out of the minors. I hate not knowing who’s going to pitch the next day.
Philliesfan4life
I thought Lincincum would of been a perfect fit for the pirates

Unless the Orioles have something up their sleeve in the trade market they need to get gallardo and lose the pic. Just too many what ifs on the starting staff
cxcx
Doing that would just weaken the team in the future without really making it better in the short term. What would adding Gallardo do, bump their playoff chances from 5% to 6%? Not worth such a high pick. Doubt they’d pay him anyway.

The RedSox had better do something long term with Mookie Betts or he is going to give up baseball for the Professional Bowlers Tour. Look out Earl Anthony…..here comes MOOKIE!

Isn’t Betts a Boras Client?
Steve Adams
Nope. He’s with Relativity. (You can look that type of thing up in our Agency Database under “Tools” on the nav bar above.)
