jerryskids 5,199 Posted December 5, 2015 Zack Greinke agrees with Arizona for 6 years and $195 M Holy carp$#@! I heard that this was rumored about 4.5 hours ago; I discounted it because no way the DBacks would get into that stratosphere. But here they are... I'm happy they are trying, but I'm not completely convinced. Greinke is 32 which isn't exactly a spring chicken; then again, he is more about control than power so he could possibly excel through most/all of this contract. Fock it, I'm psyched!

Drizzay 645 Posted December 5, 2015 Yeah, that move just screams "championship". 8 million a year! 8!!! Sure, maybe he is worth 2.5mil for 1 year. But he played in the same division as the Tigers...they should know how much he sucks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last couple of years (tanaka notwithstanding) have been different. Looks like cashman/stein Jr. want to shave money and build young, thank god. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted December 7, 2015 For those looking for a power hitting left handed bat (1st base) - Mitch Moreland will more than likely be on the block... He's signed thru next year, and at a very, very reasonable price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted December 7, 2015 Los Angeles will send two prospects -- neither of whom is prized 19-year-old left-hander Julio Urias -- to Cincinnati, the source told Bowden.

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted December 8, 2015 you're really going to list the bad madson deal but not the soria deal? I got the Aroldis deal while at work because it was huge, Soria deal was set for when I got off work (which is....now). Elsewhere...looking more and more like the Marlins will trade Jose Fernandez, because they are the Marlins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted December 9, 2015 Be interesting to see what, if anything, happens with Jose Fernandez. Even thought the Marlins claim he's not available - they continue to entertain talks... We have the farm system to make a deal - just a matter if JD is willing to do it.... If he did - we'd be running: Fernandez, Hamels and Darvish out there 1 thru 3... Pretty damn salty.

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted December 9, 2015 Braves got a haul on that deal... At some point you need to actually have proven talent though. Trading older talent for prospects is good. Making some trades with younger proven talent for prospects is fine. Trading your talent for young talent, then trading young talent for prospects can be spinning your wheels in a sport where prospects have the highest rate of failure (think what Miami did for years).

cmh6476 751 Posted December 10, 2015 He's back with Maddon. Plus no trade cause which I'm sure his family appreciates. Likely going to have to pay him when his career is likely on the decline, but who cares Cubs can probably afford it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a Dbacks fan I don't like the deal. Posty pointed out that we gave up a ton of prospective talent for him. As much as I enjoyed the 2001 WS run, the fact that we sold out our farm system to do it seems kinda mercenary... I'd rather grow our talent and win organically. I'd have been good with the Greinke deal stand alone, to get an ace to bolster our otherwise good rotation. But this deal, meh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
