Official 2016 MLB Season Thread (Nats Blow It Again)

Phillies still waiting for offers for Hellickson. He should have a new team by tonight.

Not sure anyone will offer enough to get Valasquez from them. He's young enough to be part of the rebuild rather than an asset to be traded for potential building blocks, unless the offer is for at least two MLB nearly ready bats.

I think the phils are only a couple of years away, no need to trade Vince unless they get overwhelmed. There was talk that Hellickson might accept a QO if he gets one, take the best offer and run.

Also, Rae left after 4 for the Fish. So we needed SP help, and traded 4 players for a return of a AA arm, 4 innings, and a 2 month rental. Sigh, Marlins...

Hey, maybe some good news

How the hell is that even possible? Do these trades have escape clauses in them now?

Came to post this. Perhaps there's a clause about "damaged goods." Crazy. We're getting Castillo back, which is the piece I'd want back the most, and seems to be the most fair.

Looks like everybody is knocking on Tampa Bay’s door for pitching…. that’s only going to keep the price high

#Dodgers’ talks with #Rays revolve largely around TB’s starting pitching, but LAD also likes infielder Logan Forsythe, source says.
 
that was my point.

sounds like guyer is on the move.
 
Sounds like the Yanks are getting another top 50 prospect for Beltran from the Rangers.

meh... top 50 to start the year. dec buy low, but theyll also likely be forfeiting a pick.

Dodgers give up Frankie Montas & Grant Holmes - both MLB.com top 100 prospects and Jharel Cotton, their 13th rated prospect - thats a bunch for two rentals, priced out anyone else interested.

Also, made me look at the Dodgers minor league talent, they are still loaded.

and Reds only getting Brandon Nimmo for Jay Bruce. Walt Jocketty is a terrible salesman.
 
Yankees are re-stocking their system and have a ton of bad money coming off the books. 2018 and onward they are going to be very tough to beat.
