Bassitt blows, as does Semien. Beane has gone completely mad.

Did this end up going through?  I heard people were reporting the final deal based on a fake Rosenthal twitter handle.

And as much as it makes me sick, Hahn may be putting these clowns into contention with these moves.  Ugh.

They still have big holes (no pun intended) in their everyday lineup. I'm still not convinced Shark can be productive for an entire season. He always starts out great, but seems to fade late in the season.

I just want to drink beer and play atari

That's what I'm hoping will happen. He gets too gung-ho pitching for his childhood idols and goes back to being the 2013 2H Shark with no command who tries to strike out the universe. I also think the Robertson and Duke signings will backfire on them. I have my reasons. Health and defense are still huge concerns for that team up and down the roster.

It's even worse than I thought.


Update: the official deal is Samardzija and Michael Ynoa for Semien, Chris Bassitt, Josh Phegley, Rangel Ravelo.

So Friedman just fleeced the Marlins by sending Gordon and Haren in exchange for a bunch of nice things.

And Haren had said he will retire if he is traded out of LA.

Looks like McCarthy is gonna be a Dodger per Rosenthal. Sorry, Butch. Four years though? Might be a bit long.

I hate my pretentious sounding username too.

This may end up being the most active winter meetings i've ever seen.
