Pretty sure cargo’s contract expires after 2017.
@kylerobizzle
Yep.

I could see the Red Sox, Giants, dodgers, rangers, Yankees all going after Jansen. But I like the Sox and Giants for him I just don’t get the feeling he wants to stay in LA.
mattg-5
As always, it will come down to whoever offers the most money. And if the Dodgers do somehow win the WS, I don’t think he’ll want to leave.
johnsilver
For what Jansen would cost? Boston could resign Ziegle, Koji and still have some cash left over.
Don’t get me wrong.. He’d be nice, but the Sox don’t need a closer with Kimbrell. Just those 2 named would be great am thinking until Carson Smith is healthy for the 8th inning in 2018 again.
They may still need to find another replacement for ineffective Abad should they look to find another lefty to go along with Ross.

Wonder if Jensen is holding any grudges against LA for their failed attempt to get Chapman that would have resulted in Jensen as set up man?
restingmitchface
Doubtful.
I bet he stays in L.A., is they match/beat other offers.
BlueSkyLA
If he resents anything I suspect it would be the lack of an extension offer, a decision that looks less smart every day. The message from him to the Dodgers has to be read as, “no hometown discount for you.” If that’s how he’s feeling, who could blame him?
arcadia Ldogg
Let’s face it. There was no swap for Puig because for them to take on that major malcontent, the Dodgers were going to have to cough up a fair amount of young talent. The Brewers would love to dump Braun’s contract and would probably do it for a bag of hammers.
Throw Puig into the mix, it’s “what else do you have?”
restingmitchface
The Brewers put a claim in on Puig, meaning that they’d have taken his contract on if the Dodgers were willing to just dump it on them. But the Dodgers weren’t willing to do that, because they know Puig is still a movable asset.
BlueSkyLA
And more importantly, not actually a “malcontent.”

Braun got through waivers. Puig did not and is worth more than him.,
It would be Milwaukee to trade more to the Dodgers.
Frankly I would not do the trade even if Milwaukee included cash.
ib6ub9
one day there is almost a trade the next day it was even close. do they let anyone write stories. oh yah they do. lol
24TheKid
The way you worded that makes no sense.
ib6ub9
Puig for Braun was down to the last minute just couldn’t figure out prospects to never was even close
vtadave
What?
BlueSkyLA
Notary sojac!
ib6ub9
did you here trout was almost trade for harper and then traded for Bryant and then for Kershaw
vtadave
Are you off your meds?

Gonzalez is a coor Field creation , take him away and he’s 265 Hitter !
24TheKid
Still good and worth the contract if he is able to stay healthy all season.
Deke
THANK YOU WILLIAM! I am so sick of this guy being hyped because he has Coors field inflated stats. He is hitting .329 with 18 HR at Coors Field. Away he is hitting .273 with 7 HR’s. he’s got 59 RBI at home vs 36 away.
You take away Coors Field and he’d be around 14 HR’s so far this season with 72 RBI. He’s basically got Brandon Crawford stats but he plays half his games at AT&T.
I’ve got nothing against Gonzalez, he’s a decent player but man am I sick to death of the media building hype around him. Most teams that might have interest are not stupid and they are going to look at his road stats and judge him on that, if they don’t, they are morons plain and simple.
JaysFan19
Same with arenado
GarryHarris
So trade him….
bleacherbum
That’s not true.
bleacherbum
Arenado is just as good on the road as he is at home and he is the best defensive third baseman in baseball. So knock it off.
connorreed
Uhhh….
Arenado Career Splits:
(Home): .309/.356/.583
(Away): .260/.304/.456
He’s still a great player outside of Corrs. But more like a .275, 25-30 HR, 100 RBI, 50 BB player, not a .300, 40+ HR, 120+ RBI, 60 BB player. Defense is excellent either way.
halos101
and I’m so sick of people just disregarding a players stats because he plays at coors. So old to read the same thing every time there’s a story on a Rockies player
Deke
So just because it’s old and it keeps happening one should stop calling it out? No that’s crap. If someone keeps doing something wrong, you shouldn’t just be apathetic and let it keep happening? That’s not going to create an intelligent conversation around player stats.
To the person who said every player’s stats are inflated at home, that’s not true… Hitters who hit in pitcher friendly parks have the opposite problem.
dan-9
Virtually every player hits better at home. Ignoring his home stats just because he plays at Coors Field is just as foolish as ignoring that his home field is Coors Field. His road stats aren’t who he “really” is any more than his home stats are.
angelsfan4life
Tulo has been really by not playing at Coors field. Oh wait he hasn’t. Matt Holliday still putting up good numbers. How is Fraizer doing away from Cincinnati? What happened to Jason Worth away from that fan box in Philadelphia? Nolan Arradondo’s numbers are better away from Coors field. People always want to dismiss players numbers who play for the Rockies. Hell CarGo’s numbers away Coors field are still looking better than Jason Heywards numbers this season.
connorreed
Are you just making stuff up? The only numbers better for Arenado away from Corrs are his increased strikeout totals.
connorreed
And yes, Tulowitzki has been pretty awful since leaving Colorado.
It’s literally science. The ball explodes off the bat when you’re a mile above sea level and the air is so dry and thin.
Since they became a team, there are 26 Rockies position players who have played at least 200 games at Corrs. Every single one of them had a higher average and slugging at home than on the road.
angelsfan4life
Tulo has 24 homers and over 70RBI’s in less than 120 games. And is hitting over 250. There isn’t a team right now in the majors who wouldn’t want Tulo in their lineup. Now compare that to Todd Fraser. Now you want to talk about someone who numbers have turned pretty awful away from a good hitters park.
staypuft
People still judge players by their road stats?
BoldyMinnesota
People still use batting average as the end all offensive stat, which is also sad.
gofish 2
Prior to this year, people were saying the same about Blackmon. But, here’s 2016:
Home: .318/.506/.889 (10 HR, 41 RBI)
Away: .320/.592/.967 (17 HR, 32 RBI)
Some players are Coors products, some are just…good.
(For what it’s worth, Blackmon has more HR on the road in his career than at Coors. His AVG is just way worse on the road)
brood550
The Mariners already have a slugging First baseman. Volgelbach should fill that role nicely.
mlbfan4ever
ML:BTR doesn’t list Dae-Ho Lee as a free agent.
MafiaBass
Koji Uehara will not leave via free agency, he will leave via retirement.
