Tigers6884 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I at least hope the Cubs win the World Series next year. They've suffered for long enough (plus Back to the Future 2 predicted it). I think I'll consider the Cubs to be my “backup team". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 They'll probably trade Castro and Barney and lose at least 90 games next year. But it's okay. It's part of The Plan. They need billboards first. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I don't see how trading Barney could cost you wins. Castro? Possibly. Though they do have talent coming up. But Darwin Barney? His defense isn't that good enough to make up for his lack of a bat. Example: Pete Kozma. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah, I don't think losing Barney will have a huge effect on the product itself, but it's a sign that the first wave of rebuilding failed and now they're rebuilding the rebuild. Losing Castro signifies that too, plus the loss of his bat. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crownking30 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 One thing I know is that the heartache is going to end for Tulowitzki in Denver. I think he'll be traded. The heartbreak ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltere Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 What exactly about playing in Denver is so "heartbreaking" for Troy Tulowitzki?He's the undisputed star of a team playing in one of the best parks in the bigs in which to hit. 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbadefense1990 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Report: Dodgers to pursue Phillies closer Papelbon...with a bullpen already including Kenley Jansen, Brian Wilson, Brandon League, Chris Perez, and JP Howell.Watch as this former Phillie flames-out as a Dodger, get shipped or goes himself to another team, then miraculous finds new life on an already-contending team again and then criticizes the Dodgers and their fans for his shortcomings here.**yes, I'm referring to that douchelord Shane Victorino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardy's tenure as Baltimore's shortstopBut... *sigh* Yankees would need a new shortstop following Derek Jeter's retirement and everyone knows the Yankees can pull some ridiculous amount of money out of their ass and secure him for 8-10 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC985 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 While the Yankees won't be able to grab Tulo on the open market, they are one of the few teams who might not flinch at the $20 mil he's owed each season from 2015 through 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 It appears as though Huston Street is headed to Anaheim. From what I've read, it's four Angels prospects for Street and a prospect.Edit: It's a done deal. Padres get a decent haul in Taylor Lindsey, RJ Alvarez and Jose Rondon. Granted, the Angels' farm isn't good, but these guys all are all pretty highly regarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but what do they have to trade? They have no farm system and a club full of aging veterans. Yeah they can take on the contract, but the Rockies would definitely want players in return, young players big league ready or just about there. Something the Yankees don't have. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you combine Tulo's salary and injury history with the Rockies likely desire for a ransom haul a trade to the Yankees and most other teams becomes very unlikely. In my opinion for a deal to actually get done to any team, Tulo is going to have to publicly ask for a trade. Right now the Rockies have all the leverage. Of course someone could get desperate and offer the farm in the next 11 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
