BrianVlietDesign Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Screw Peter Angelos! O's lose Feldman and McLouth, and get nothing in return for trading Johnson. He's about ready to unload the team for god's sake. NYCFC - MLS CUP CHAMPIONS - 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 #BlameBeltran!I have no clue what the Yankees are doing right now, but whatever it is, I want Brett Gardner on this team come Opening Day. He's basically the only undervalued commodity left on the entire roster.And NO Brandon Phillips. God, anything but that declining egomaniac.

Brass Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Oh, well, umm, hi, Mr. Ellsbury. Welcome to the better side of the rivalry, I guess.This surprised the hell out of me. Not surprised at all. Oh well. Not really a place for him on the Red Sox anymore, especially at the price he Boras wanted. Sox learned their lesson on giving fat contracts to lead off hitters already...I'm curious as to why you say Boras, not Ellsbury, wanted that much money. I don't know the logistics of Ellsbury's negotiations with the Red Sox (if there were any).Because Boras, as his agent, as a lot of stroke. He hypes his players as the second coming of Jesus and gives teams what he feels his client is worth. If I was a gambling man, I'd say that amount of money the Yankees gave him was Boras' idea, not Ellsbury's. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc?

BBTV Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 At the end of the day, the agent works for the player, so much like we say to blame the teams and not Nike for bad designs, you've got to "blame" or "credit" (depending on your POV) the player and not the agent.Guys like Boras have a lot of influence over players due to their reputation and deals that they've gotten for past clients, but any player at any time can say "Scott - I want to sign for $1 - get it done."Scott Boras convinced JD Drew that signing in Philadelphia after the draft would be a bad move and kill his career, causing Drew to hold out and go back in to the draft. Ultimately, it was Drew's decision, but as a young kid, he probably deferred to Boras' judgement (which at the time was probably right.)

bosrs1 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Looks like the A's were denied San Jose back on June 17 and the league has been sitting on the information. It also occured the day before the city then sued the league (now we know why). Guess it's time to prepare for the inevitable sale and move of the team since the big objection to San Jose was that the city wasn't providing enough public funding, and we know Oakland won't be able to provide any meaningful funding either since they're almost as broke as Detroit.Portland A's?San Antonio A's?Omaha A's?Montreal A's?What does the future hold?

Def not Montreal, Omaha maybe or Salt Lake City, LV, or OKC. Only cause Portland has a stadium with no team to hold them till they get a new one built, is why I think that they are 1st in relocation for them IF that happens.

OKC is a larger market considering the proximity of Tulsa. Not to mention filling an arena for 41 games isn't as difficult as filling a ballpark for 81 games.Omaha is not a possibility.

JayJaxon Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 It's great to see that not much has changed around here.-The Yankees were smart for sticking to their guns on Cano. -Great job Mariners. Now how about an outfield...or some pitching. Cano won't get the job done alone, nor will he put fans in the stands. -Good for Napoli for staying with the Red Sox. -Everyone else in the NL East is making moves (even though you can kind of laugh at the ones the Phillies have made) What will the Braves do? Wren likes to keep things quiet and if you think the only think he will do is let McCann and Hudson walk, you're wrong. But what moves will be made?

College baseball doesn't automatically translate to MLB.From what I've read, the Athletics' specific proposal was denied but a move to San Jose is still possible:http://blog.sfgate.com/athletics/2013/12/07/did-mlb-deny-the-as-request-to-move-to-san-jose-in-june/That certainly sounds like a final answer, but I just spoke with a source who is familiar with the proceedings who tells me that MLB’s June 17 response to the A’s was not a rejection – it said only that that specific proposal for a San Jose stadium was insufficient and MLB wanted more information and other assurances before considering such a move. There was no outright rejection, nor any approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
