MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

Cueto signed with the Giants.

[rok]

6 yrs/$130 mil with an opt out after year 2. Not surprised by this, and have a feeling this will work out for both parties.

[jstraw]

I sure hope not.

[Runnys]

I hope him and shark get in a fight over who has better hair.

[funkster]

I'm glad he didn't go to the Cardinals.  It's nice to see them not landing these guys.

I wonder if players take into consideration how much a fan base dislikes them already when they're looking at potential teams.

 

From what I've gathered, The Best Fans On Earth dislike Cueto with a passion.  Makes you wonder if he had that in mind when/if the Cardinals inquired on him.

[funkster]

Its a good question.  I would think that some of these guys aren't too enthusiastic about the overwhelming amount of despicable comments that fan base has made on social media.

[Runnys]

I've said before, but, I hate Chris Russo on High Heat, he's awful to listen to.

[rok]

I try to avoid both Russo and Millar at all costs, even though I'm addicted to MLBN.

3-team trade. Sox get Todd Frazier

[rok]

This will end up being a massive overpay for Frazier who seems to disappear over the 2nd half of every season. I approve.

WHITE SOX GET: 3B Todd Frazier


DODGERS GET: RHP Frankie Montas, 2B Micah Johnson, OF Trayce Thompson


REDS GET: INF Jose Peraza, OF Scott Schebler, INF Brandon Dixon

[funkster]

Dunno...Trayce Thompson and Micah Johnson kind of suck. 

[rok]

They may have sold high on Thompson, I will admit. Feels like the Dodgers still got the best end of this deal though. Anyway, get ready for Frazier to play up the Southside Hitmen jibberish from now on, being from Jersey and all. He's going to be really annoying.

[funkster]

He's the epitome of a White Sox trade target.

[Andy]

The entire deal screams "meh".
