HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

Well with the Mariners tearing their team apart, the AL West race in 2019 will be down to two teams... Sorry Trouty but the Angels aren't one of them.

The Mets Jedi Owner.... "Jeff Wilpon says the Mets' analytics team projected the roster for 83-84 wins before the Robinson Cano trade. Now, they're in the high 80s. "We do a couple more things," Wilpon said, "maybe we can be 90-plus."

Add Machado and Bryce Harper and the team can just throw their gloves on the field and win the game.

The Rangers still awful?

Wake me up when they're relevant again

The Rangers still awful?

Get ready for a long hibernation. The Rangers are looking to restock their farm system and will more than likely trade some of the good players they have left for prospects.

They emptied out the cupboards for a shot at a ring but came up just short. They're going to be stocking the cupboards up again for awhile.

I just cannot believe I missed the true O for the Mets 3rd outfielder. Lorenzo has been replaced with the great, the wonderful, THE ONE and only Tim Tebow.

He will never make it out of camp

He will never make it out of camp

with the number of tickets he wlll sell for no other reason than just the novelty of it all Wilpons see $$$ signs. If nimmo gets traded, he will likely be the 4th outfielder after Lagares and Conforto, and who whatever FA outfielder they can convince to sign. There is noone else in their system.

Seeing rumors that Bryce Harper to the White Sox

Seeing rumors that Bryce Harper to the White Sox

That would be a stunner given the White Sox have become a little more stingy over the past few years. But, the White Sox need someone to build around.

 

[Vegas_Cowboy]

Sounds like the Astros. might be looking at Nelson Cruz and Michael Brantley to add two more bats.

I think he ends up with Phils.

I'm not big on either of those moves unless they are going to jettison someone like Reddick.

My point being I think Tucker is going to be a real monster in LF.

As far as the DH spot...I'd be OK with it provided White gets most of the at-bats at 1B and Guriel becomes a part-timer. At this point I think White will post far better numbers than Guriel.

 

[Nightman]

Yankees have been a little quiet.....Paxson, Happ and CC were good signings......Gardner a waste

Give me Manny and Daniel Murphy and I am happy

 

[Tabascocat]

The Mets big move was overpaying for Benitez, err.....Familia

That's the rumor. Reddick would have to go. I doubt the astros get either one. I'd miss some of Guriels clutch hitting in a limited roll. He always seems to come up big when you need a big hit.

I'm still waiting for the TOTR pitcher Luhnow keeps talking about. Get him, call up Whitley and get one more big bat.

And trading for Robby Cano-Alomar

 

[FloridaRob]

Great Mets signing with Wilson Ramos. Now he and d'arnaud can alternate their times on the dl and Mets just need a 3rd catcher for 60 or 70 games.

It is actually not bad if he stays healthy. It is a lot better than trading Thor for that other guy
