Some speculation A's are clearing out space for Ethier.  Dodgers would eat salary for stockpile of prospects. And a catcher I suppose.

GM of Oak and Assistant GM of LAD are close....

Pirates resign Liriano.  3 yrs, $39m.  Solid deal for a small market team.

The rumor I liked was that the Dodgers were sending Dee Gordon and Dan Haren to Miami for some prospect pitching.  The Dodgers offered to pick up all of Haren's salary, mostly because he said that if he's traded away from CA he'll retire.

"Trading a player & agreeing to pay his $10M salary, while knowing there's a good chance you'll pay nothing, is as Andrew Friedman as it gets."

Fixed that for Boras. I think he misspoke.

Strange deal with that haul.  A catcher and a reliever?

So Anaheim is looking at re-acquiring Haren, possibly for CJ Wilson, since the Dodgers are paying Haren's salary next season.  Everybody wins there, except maybe the Dodgers.

So much for the quiet off season in Anaheim.

I FUCKING LOVE THIS. I hope we sign him longterm. His defense would bring alot to that big outfield. I love Porcello but this is awesome, and totally explains why Tigers are supposedly making a mega offer to Scherzer.

Supposedly another trade coming today from Tigers.
