Huh? Valencia? Why come the O’s no fill needed roster spots? This makes no sense. I really hope Duquette has a grand plan with a positive outcome for the O’s.

Depending on what Crain wants, it may do well of the White Sox to take a flyer on him as he was pretty good before the injury. Just would not give him too much

Does anyone actually want valdespin?
After all his issues this year, I doubt it’s his agency not getting him work…
BeisbolJunkie
Why would you assume that is why he changed agencies?
Several of the players who were suspended as a result of Biogenesis have left ACES too.
Melky Cabrera
Everth Cabrera
Nelson Cruz
Jordan Norberto
Jhonny Peralta
The Levinson brothers could be cutting ties with these clients as a way to reduce the stigma, The clients may just want a fresh start with a new agent not previously tied to the biogenesis scandal, or it could possibly be a mutual feeling to part ways.

That isn’t what I assumed.
I am saying I don’t think it’s the agencies fault he hasn’t found work yet (if that was the case).

I hope the Giants dont trade away Pill. He has good minor league numbers, but has never seen enough playing time to justify his mediocre major league numbers.
harperhill
If we can get something decent for him, why not? He has nowhere to play for the next several years.

The Giants aren’t getting anything decent for him. they’re throwing him away.
Clayton Wilson
They have to clear space somehow, and Pill is completely expendable. They probably won’t get anything notable for him, but that’s because he’s just not very good. He’s a 29-year-old backup first-baseman/emergency outfielder with little power and a low BB rate.
Wudlander3000
He can’t hit breaking balls well. That’s his major problem. And the reason why he has good numbers in the minors while he hadn’t much success in the big leagues besides a few bombs. The Giants know that and I would not mind trading him to someone else for little return.
First Bleed
If the Brewers trade for Pill they better not give anything back in return. Pill’s # in the PCL at age 27-28 are not that great for that league. Hunter Morris’s # are similar minus the BA.

I can’t imagine Montreal ever getting another baseball team. Blame Loria all you want but nobody ever came out for Expos games, even when they were good. I would think the next canadian city in line would be Vancouver; maybe get a rivalry going with Seattle. And the A’s are prime candidates to relocate so you wouldn’t have to realign the divisions.
Roger Wilco
Not that I care if Vancouver or anyone else gets a baseball team. I just don’t think Montreal deserves another chance. Maybe start them off with a minor league team and see if they draw.
Clayton Wilson
So apparently the Cubs asked for a PACKAGE that centered on either Jason Heyward or Justin Upton in exchange for Samardzija. Can’t blame them for aiming high, but I would have loved to see/hear how that offer went down.
