For Christmas I want the Cardinals to sign Mark Trumbo.
skipstephens
Me too.
davidcoonce74
Trumbo isn’t really a NL player though. His defense anywhere – even at first – is really bad.
boli2659
He’s actually about average at first base according to UZR
EndinStealth
Are you a Cubs fan?

Yuck. Please no Trumbo. We haven’t been that bad, Santa.
badco44
Guys 50 dingers go a long long way
AddisonStreet
Except he has never hit 50.
jayceincase
He just doesn’t seem Cardinal-like. He would be much better suited to play in Colorado.
politicsNbaseball
Isn’t Colorado moving one of there surplus outfielders to first?
Dock_Elvis
They’re saying their going to play Desmond there if anyone wants to believe that….their not done….they’ll be in on Trumbo..he makes a lot of sense at Coors. Then they’ll try and deal for a starting pitcher.
FOmeOLS
I do too. You’re welcome to him.
He’s a good 1B, but he will never be worth his contract, and in Baltimore, they refused to play him at the only position where he has any defensive value.

As an O’s fan, I’d love for the Cardinals to sign Trumbo.

For Christmas I want a big trade to happen…. to any team. I’m sick of only football and basketball news
SimplyAmazin91
Agreed
FOmeOLS
Amen! After the winter meetings, it’s a baseball wasteland until pitchers and catchers report.

Sorry Boras, you’re not getting a huge deal for Wieters. It would probably be best to ink a one year, prove it deal a la Desmond.
aff10
Yeah he tried that last year though, and he didn’t prove much of anything. I think he’ll try to maximize his guarantee at this point. I’m guessing like 2/ $26 million or so

The Os took a ton of heat for their contract killing medicals, but other teams should get on board w/their process. I cannot recall the name, but they were hit hard on by the media when they pulled the contract of that closer who eventually signed with TB, was bad and then sent to the DL. Not Balfour…anyway, the Os are setting a trend even if it’s not in the Christmas spirit.
reflect
They aren’t taking heat for their medical policy, they are taking heat for their tendency to publicly leak medical results and tank the players value with other teams. They can be as strict as they want but they should be more responsible.

No that was Balfour

I would love to see Trumbo go to the Rockies

I realize that there will be some catching-needy team out there who will want Wieters, but it’s a huge roll of the dice to pay him whatever Boras must be asking. We are talking catcher playing at 31, who, hasn’t stood out since 2011/2012. And “stood out” is about the best we can do. He’s not, and never had been a superstar. Realistically, the best you can hope from him, unless he proves otherwise, is that he can solid and useful at a difficult position. That’s not bad, but Boras has compared Wieters to Pudge. Um, no.
Wolf Hoffmann
He needs to juice like Pudge.
Wolf Hoffmann
I love it when players overestimate their worth resulting in a loss of income. Spoiled Divas.
joeflaccosunibrow
Weiters hired Boras to get the most $$$ for him. Cybermetrics have marginalized Boras’ overstatement of players ability. Now GM’s really see a players worth via the 1000’s of statistics. Boras is becoming obsolete.
braves4life1
Come on Coppy!! Bring Weiters to the Braves!!
vinscully16
Trumbo should follow Chris Davis’ approach and return to Baltimore.
FOmeOLS
No
IBFarr
Philadelphia should sign him long term and then when he’s doing well, flip him to the Yankees for two or three prospects.
IBFarr
Philly’s ballpark is a lot like Camden Yard
tealmarlin
What’s up with Dariel Alvarez?? The guy was wrecking the ball in the minors and he didn’t get any chance to really probe himself in the big leagues, the best arm in the Orioles organization and they still have shitty backup OF playing in the bigs.
jbigz12
4 hrs in 500+ ABS at the AAA level last year and he has no patience at the plate. He’s not going to cut it in the bigs.
