2013-14 MLB Off-Season Discussion

Ellsbury is close to signing a seven-year deal with the Yankees.
--------------------
Seven-years, $153 million. $12 more than what Carl Crawford signed with Boston.

That's so much money for a 30-year-old who can't stay healthy.

[emkayseven]

they dont learn

they're serious about letting cano leave, huh

[Fritz]

It's a stereotypical Yankee contract. Trying to outthink/screw over the Red Sox at the expense of all things rational.

[nny]

He's making ~22m a season, so he needs to be at least worth 4 WAR a season.

He's only done that twice, this year and 2011.

[Erick]

The A's have been active. I like their team.

[HUGG]

Granderson to the Mets, according to Fernando Tatis

[HUGG]

The Royals have acquired outfielder Norichika Aoki from the Brewers in exchange for left-hander Will Smith, the Brewers have announced via press release.

Aoki, 32 next month, enjoyed his second solid season with the Brewers since coming over from Japan. The lefty swinger batted .286/.356/.370 with eight homers and 20 stolen bases. Though his power numbers dipped in 2013, the former NPB batting champion has a solid .287/.355/.399 line in his two Major League seasons to go along with excellent right-field defense (+4.2 UZR/150; +21 DRS). He comes at a highly affordable rate also, as the Royals exercised a cheap $1.9MM club option on Aoki following the season. He is a free agent following the 2014 campaign.

@Enrique_Rojas1: #Mariners and Cano agree. $240 million/10 years. Physical next monday in Seattle

[marlinsfan24]

Good for the Mariners. I have always liked the city and really hope their baseball team does well. I am guessing Matt Kemp and/or David Price are next.

[Miamarlin21]

Orioles have signed Ryan Webb to a two-year, $4.5 million deal.

[HUGG]

Paul O'Neill @PaulONeillYES 17m
Oh Robby.... There's no place like New York and no team like the Yankees!

I'm sure Paulie would have left $70million on the table

[Bobbob1313]

Three-year deal for Beltran to the Yankees, I guess.

I don't really like what they're doing.

[Miamarlin21]

Beltran to New York. Three years.
