Banished into DFA like Bartolo.

 

[BigAT]

Pretty crazy. DFAing him with about $50 million left on his contract still. What an awful signing.

Spoiler

$50 million will look like peanuts compared to the amount they DFA Price for.

 

[Malo]

When is Devers coming up? Or is Trader Dave going to give him up for the Todd father.

 

[darkside31337]

Worst FA signing of all time?

I can't believe it took them this long to admit hes garbage. Shipping Travis Shaw out of town because you thought Pablo was back after 2 years of being atrocious was pretty dumb.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Pablo Sandoval
Hanley Ramirez (redeemed himself after a very good 2016 but has only been solid this year)
Rick Porcello (redeemed himself after a very good 2016 but has been below par this year)
Rusney Casillo

Ben Cherington had himself a baaaaaaaaaaaaad winter 2014

EDIT: If the Blue Jays want to do their part to defeat the darkness of the Council...Josh Donaldson playing 3B in Fenway hmmmm

Devers called up to AAA

 

[Chase17]

Pablo Sandoval DFAed

What a disaster

I kept believing. Sad!

Time to double down on believing in Price!

 

[BFIB]

Called this when the Red Sox signed him. Dude was approached how many times from San Fran about losing weight, he'd lose the weight on big arb. years, then shed the weight to get the contract that Boston ultimately gave him.

Pineda has a partial tear in his UCL. expected to have tommy john. yankees still won that trade.

Yankees should just forfeit 2017 before someone else gets hurt.

Sad to see him go out like that. Hopefully this means Adams gets called up.

 

[Friggz]

according to twitter, calling up adams wasnt ruled out. Mitchell will make the next pineda start however. Glad to see the kids, but i genuinely feel bad for Pineda who had such monster upside but will have a career derailed by injuries.

 

[CygnusXS]

also this move means the yankees have to move pineda while they can get something for him (if anything). they arent resigning him so it makes no sense to lose him to free agency.

prescient

 

[Friggz]

i cant help but think this is my fault.

Worst FA signing of all time?

-2 wins for $95m. Yep, should be the worst. Infinite cost per win.

At least Hamilton got 2.6 wins for his $125m.

Sox have all the top arms going this weekend.

Fully expect they'll still manage to find a way to drop 3 of 4.

The Empire's kinda pounded them into the dirt through the first 5 games of the season series.

 

[Malo]

Looks like Holiday will be back tonight and Castro might be back tomorrow. At least our lineup is getting healthier.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

-2 wins for $95m. Yep, should be the worst. Infinite cost per win.

Yeah. If you extent it to all contracts Ryan Howard's is probably the worst of all time. The Phillies got a whopping -6 WAR out of his $125 million extension.

I'd rather put any warm body from our current farm system at 3rd than bring back Panda.

At least wait a year for even year magic to revive itself and Panda can be the obligatory "ex-Giant comes back on super cheap contract and does magic postseason things" player.

Reacting to Cubs-White Sox trade, Sandy Alderson said he would consider a trade with the Yankees.


Get a prospect out of the Yankees for Reed.

I think he is like the 8th different player they've started at first this year, it's crazy.

Just off the top of my head:

Byrd

Romine
Refsnyder
Holliday
Tyler Austin

i don't think they have enough to trade for him now, unless they want to trade some major league players. A's can probably get a much better offer elsewhere.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Now watch as the Giants bring Sandoval back and he looks like a MVP-caliber player.

 

[GK86]

Mets finally have a replacement for Wright. Sign Pablo.

[Sarcastic Poster]

Gausman giving up back-to-back homers in the first inning.

FUCK THIS PITCHING STAFF.

 

[BigAT]

This game is so boring.

Typical 4 hour Yanks/Sox game incoming, obviously.

 

[Sarcastic Poster]

I'm really really down on the O's pitching lineup.

Tillman is okay and out until mid April.
Gausman is good but should never be your #1 starter.
Bundy is #2 starter on the opening day roster and has played about 100 mediocre ML innings and has been serving up meatballs all spring so far.
Wade Miley is plain bad.
Ubaldo is fucking terrible.

That's really unacceptable for a $170m roster.

Jesus, it's even fucking worse than I had imagined before the season. I was expecting bottom 10 but this is easily a bottom 3 SP group.

Tillman is absolutely toast.
Gausman is a mental midget and has gone to shit.
Bundy is meh, pretty much as the same as his previous ML innings.
Miley has been only bad, not really bad, so that's a plus I guess.
Ubaldo is even worse than terrible.

Fuck me, I hope we sell.

EDIT: 3 HRs in 1.1 innings. He can throw 98, but Gausman is thrash. Gives up a .782 OPS when up 0-2 in a count. Mental midget.

 

[detectiveconan1]

Realmuto!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

PUIG!

COREY!

 

[Sarcastic Poster]

Fourth home run given up in 3 innings for Gausman, Fucking hell.........

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Offense needed to face the O's I guess.
