Bowden may be an idiot at times but it doesn't mean even he couldn't have a good idea from time to time.
I dunno. I just don't see this FO being willing to shell out approximately $12 million a season on a bullpen arm--even one as good as Kimbrel's.</blockquote>If it means getting out from under Castro's contract for another 4(?) seasons it might be worth it. Things have changed. It's no longer the great value we all once viewed it to be.
And glad we didn't pay the steep price for Zobrist.

I'd do that deal with SD in a heartbeat.

Angels are close to getting David Murphy.
EDIT: Looks like they're getting DeJesus too. Mmmmm...Kim DeJesus....

Between Victorino, Murphy, and DeJesus, the Angels just added themselves 104 years of outfielder.

Trout getting an MRI on his wrist. They may need all those guys.

He rolled it pretty good the other night making a great diving catch. It was ugly.

Sounds like the Dodgers, Yankees and Jays are the final 3 in on Price.

If the Dodgers or Yankees end up with Price, we can probably go ahead and forget about signing him this offseason...

If the Sox end up being buyers and keep Shark, he will get fucked in FA with draft pick compensation attached to him. That would be awesome.

The Padres continue to explore a wide array of options on this year’s trade market, though they’ve yet to make a move. Multiple reports suggest that the team is still weighing its ultimate approach, perhaps considering major moves while also preparing for a more modest sell-off.
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Jayson Stark of ESPN.com hears that rival teams expect San Diego to be “super active” and pursue a “huge deal” of some kind (via ESPN.com’s trade deadline page), with the team said to be considering deals on controllable rotation pieces such as James Shields, Andrew Cashner, and even Tyson Ross.
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif;font-size:13px;">The inclusion of those names on the market could even reduce the Phillies’ leverage with regard to Cole Hamels negotiations, executives with other clubs tell Stark. The Phillies, of course, are said to be asking teams with interest to get their bids in on the lefty today.
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Meanwhile, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports that Padres GM A.J. Preller could “take a more measured approach” in selling than he did in compiling assets over the winter. San Diego wants “substantive” value in its deals, per the report.
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif;font-size:13px;">Efforts to move Shields have not resulted in promising offers of yet, says Lin, and he could become an August trade piece. And while San Diego is indeed discussing both Cashner and Ross, it seems hesitant to part with them. There is some belief within the organization that larger-scale moves could wait for the winter.
<p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif;font-size:13px;">The club does still appear likely to move its short-term assets, per the Union-Tribune. There is still at least some possibility, though, that it will hold onto Justin Upton and make him a qualifying offer, with talks not yet having produced a substantial enough return, though it seems rather likely that something with come together on the slugger. Other pieces fairly likely to be dealt include Ian Kennedy, Joaquin Benoit, and Will Venable.
Signature.

They've come out of the ASB blazing hot. I don't care for it one bit.
