I completely missed the Aoki deal. That seems awfully one-sided; why did the Brewers make that deal?
They felt like Wil Smith was that number whatever starting pitcher they needed. I was instantly horny when that trade went down, we finally have a true OBP guy. With Infante as well we should score monstrous amounts of runs. Key is Hosmer staying consistent and Butler mashing and not worried about fucking BBQ sauce.
Orioles actually acquired someone who isn't Laporta, David Lough or Jemile Weeks. Hurray.
Hope that Lough guy works out for you! Great in clubhouse, plays hard, good contact guy. Just couldn't find everyday pt in KC. Rumor has you guys picking up Santana too.
Cubs Sign E Bonifacio
he will most likely play 2B mostly.. D Barney will move to a utility role most likelyThat didn't take long. Good utility pickup, maybe he pushes Das wunderkind at short.
could this be the year for the cubbies? *ostrich laugh*
With his new contract, Burnett gets a $7.5 million signing bonus, of which $1 million is payable Dec. 15, $2.75 million next Jan. 15 and $3.75 million on June 30, 2015.
Burnett has a $7.5 million salary this season, and the contract includes a $15 million option for 2015 with a $1 million buyout. Burnett would receive the buyout only if either party declines and he fails to make 30 starts this year.
If the mutual option isn't exercised, Burnett would have a $7.5 million player option for 2015. The option price would increase to $8.5 million with 24 starts this year, $10 million with 27, $11.75 million with 30 and $12.75 million with 32.
He can earn an additional $1.75 million annually in performance bonuses: $500,000 each for 24 and 27 starts, and $750,000 for 30.
A petition needs to start to get RAJ the hell out of the organization and fast.
Told you all on Flufftopia that RAJ would find a way to fuck up the Burnett deal. When is a one-year deal not a one-year deal? When's there's a $7.5 million dollar player option for a second year.
RAJ paying, at a minimum, $22.5 million over two years for 37 year old pitcher.

Looks like the Orioles are working on a four year deal with Ubaldo.
Keep in mind RAJ is delusional enough to think that the Phils can make the playoffs. He needs to put down the pipe and face reality.
Do you people that say these contracts are outrageous even look at the comps?
The comps are outrageous too in most cases.

That's called market value then.
Baseball has a shit ton of money flowing into it. Teams are spending it.
