Did you guys know the Red Sox haven't won in Fenway in 95 years?

I don't know if I would find more funny any other team signing Cano or the Yankees dishing out yet another stupid contract.
Oh yeah, no Harvey next year, baseball sucks

New manager, same chokers
Come on, this is a pretty lazy analysis. The Tigers (I begrudgingly admit) have a lot of great pieces in place. They just have a terrible middle relief corps and brutal defense. If they can shore those things up (and let's not forget they have an owner who is willing to spend big) I'd be willing to bet there's an 8 to 1 chance I'm puking my brains out at the World Series next year.

The season ended last week. Shame about the World Series being cancelled. What took you guys so long to get the off-season thread up?
...
Anyway, now that this nightmare of a season is over for the Blue Jays, what do I, as a Jays fan, have to look forward to this offseason?
Rumor time: Blue Jays want Gordon Beckham?
I hate baseball.

Always the underdog.
Right where we're the most comfortable.

This offseason is going to be another austere one for Yankees fans, I believe...and that's okay. Depending on what happens with A-Rod, we can hopefully have a season where we not only compete to get a playoff spot (and maybe get healthy enough for long enough to actually get one), but also continue to get $$$ off the books so we can go HAM in free agency.
If the Yankees can get Tex and CC right again, that'll go a long way in keeping things manageable until they start eating planets again.

First he took your trash and now this. Magic a double agent confirmed.
Robertson needs to be locked up, and if Stewart and Nix are tendered a contract I will murder a kitten.
Nats hire Matt Williams to be their manager

Olney says that Rangers and Mariners are going to go hard after Ellsbury.
Napoli says he wants to stay with the Red Sox.

Go Mets! Win the offseason!
Robertson and Gardner need to be extended. Yanks need to dump that stupid rule and stop allowing their own guys to hit the market before going into contract negotiations.
I'm from Chicago and am a [miserable] Cubs fans, but I root for Boston teams when my teams are out. Plus I hate St Louis.

Lets go Rays.
Should be fascinating to see what we can get for Price. Time to call up Dayton Moore again.

I will happily take Gomez. Could I offer a Jon Jay in return? Great clubhouse guy!
I rather them wait it out with Gardner as his type doesn't usually make a ton in free agency. I agree with you about that rule. It's a dumb fucking rule and they usually end up paying more in free agency for it.
Garza doesn't require draft pick compensation, right? I wouldn't mind the Yankees making a run at him if they lose out on Tanaka.
Actually I think the guy you want is Yuni Betancourt. Finally solve that pesky SS issue.
Trade you Arod and the Yanks pay 70% of whats left on his contract.
He can play first, right?
I think that should be Melvin's strategy. Disgrace is the new market inefficiency.
Garza and Nolasco won't require a pick.

Wonder if the Cardinals will be trading Shelby Miller.
I'd be pretty pissed to be honest. When they started warming him up in the bottom of the 8th last night, it seemed like Matheny was just trolling everyone.

Thank God he's out of the third base coach's box here!

I think the Nats gave us glimpse of what's to come at the end of last season.
It's gonna be a good year for Nats fans, I think.

7.38 K/9, 2.10 BB/9, 1.05 HR/9, 4.37 ERA, 3.76 FIP, 3.75 xFIP
7.44 K/9, 2.73 BB/9, 1.03 HR/9, 3.84 ERA, 3.98 FIP, 4.00 xFIP
#1 is Nolasco who's peripherals say he pitches better than his ERA during his career. #2 is Garza who's peripherals pretty much line up with his ERA.
Nolasco has a FIP- of 92 while Garza is at 97 for his career which means Garza is closer to league average and Nolsco is better.
Nolasco is only 1 year older and will most likely get a shorter contract with a lower per season average.
