They just said the Rockies are one of four teams with no one in the hall. I'm guessing Todd Helton will be the guy.

Wow.

It still boggles my mind that Bayless has a job and many of the Grantland writers do not.

Jays traded Ben Revere for Drew Storen

that's an easy choice... for me that is.

Go Orioles!

Source confirms: Chris Davis back to #Orioles, seven years, $161M, pending medical review. First reported: @Jonheyman.

Source: Davis gets full no-trade clause from #Orioles. No opt-out in his deal.

He'll be a 10/5 guy in 2 years anyway, so the NTC isnt a big deal. Best part of the deal is the deferred money which only has us on the hook for 17 mill AAV.

It's good that they got him signed.

Yeah, but we're still worse off than last year. All we've done is retain players so far. need to add another starter and a RF

Upton is going to be good in Detroit. He'll probably hit second or third (the more I think about it, I'd hit him 2nd) ahead of Miggy and get all sorts of shit to hit. Victor Martinez in the cleanup and J. D. Martinez fifth.

Everyone's talking about Cleveland, but that's a scary middle of the order.

But VERY RH heavy. I know Upton hits righties well, but I think they need a lefty somewhere. Especially against the RH dominant staffs of KC and CLE. Gose and an aging switch hitting Martinez are the only quality options.

I like the Davis contract better with the deferred money than Upton's with the opt out and giving up the pick. I read that Upton wanted to sign in Baltimore (from the area), but there was no way Angelos was giving a thumbs up on that deal. Even though signing Upton made more sense than re-signing Davis.

Victor Martinez has to stay healthy, and for that matter, so does Cabrera. Upton would have been a nice addition for the Orioles to stick in there amongst Jones, Machado, etc. I think he would have been a nice addition just about anywhere, but I think he makes Detroit's lineup scary.
