2016 MLB Playoff Thread: The Cubs are the best team in baseball!

[Cail]

Jansen 5 years 80 million to go back to LA. Supposedly Nats offered more money though.

Miami and Washington offered more, but he wanted TO STAY IN LA

[Melena]

Reading ESPN's twitter feed, it looks like LA's luxury tax bill will be higher than the Padres payroll.

Buchholz traded by the Sox to the phillies for a Cheese Steak and bag of hockey pucks in a salary dump.

The EdWing is taking his talents (and his parrot) to Cleveland. 3 years, 60mil+option

[Obsidian]

Allegedly.

I CAN STILL BELIEVE DAMMIT

[Vaspinne]

Yeah.... about that allegedly...

Losing Edwin sucks but god I hope they don't go hard after Jose to compensate.

Edit:

Here's Jason Stark's yearly weird but true stats for the previous season. Always a fun read.

Mariners acquire Yovani Gallardo and cash from Baltimore for Seth Smith

[BadKarma]

I'm really excited for the Mets this year, which obviously means every single starting pitcher will die at some point.

Again.

Lose Edwin, the player they should have re-signed. Sat on their hands for the entirety of free agency so far. Re-signing Bautista, the player they should have let go.

Well done Blue Jays management.

[Obsidian]

They signed several players at the start of free agency and 120M for Edwin was honestly too much. Blame his agent, not the team. Bautista can still hit, it's not like we're signing a bum.

[archibaldcrane]

The Bautista contract is only a year, he could easily be worth the 18M.

Jeff Bagwell, Ivan Rodriguez and Tim Raines all inducted into the HoF today

[Cail]

Fucking ecstatic for Bagwell. My second favorite player growing up.

Trevor Hoffman missed by 5 votes

[Melena]

He will get in next year.

Also starting next year all ballots will be public

[Celeras]

Vlad got hosed

[Melena]
