Baltimore to lock up Trumbo for 37 mil over 3 years. He gets twice as much as his qualifying offer but over 3 years.
Decent sign fit Baltimore assuming he only hits and stays off the field. |

Man I hope their pitches get ground balls galore because that outfield sounds pretty dire

How did they ever manage to win 89 games last year? Right? Basically the same team as last year..+Castillo -Wieters

Well it's not. The guy in left didn't start last year, and Seth Smith wasn't on the team. So no not the same. They also haven't gotten any better.

So they're spinning their wheels while the division winner from last year got even better? Yeah they'll be fine.

We went over how the Red Sox didn't get any better. Sheesh
And don't even get me started on the Blue Jays. Lol |

Lol no you tried to bs your way to short changing them and when presented with facts you tried to move on to some irrelevant point about Davis being younger than Moreland.
The Blue Jays are better. The Baltimore rotation couldn't luck the gum off the Toronto rotation's cleats. |

The Jays got worse but not by a significant margin. A full year of Devon Travis will help. A full year of Aaron Sanchez will help.
I don't think Morales will be very good but I don't think he'll be useless either. They still have a very good roster and that pitching tho |

Please stop badly about the team who won it all last year. Can't wait for the O's to repeat.

I'd don't care how much of a step down Morales is from EE, its a clear step down when a pitcher gets down 3-1 and has to groove a strike down the plate and he's not facing Edwin. |

It depends on what kind of year Tulo and Bautista have.

Lineup protection is largely a myth. Losing Encarnacion will likely net them, give or take, 3 additional losses. However, I don't expect Bautista to be horrible assuming he's healthy, and that could help offset their loss.
They're still a very good team and very much in the hunt for a playoff spot as it stands. |

Just popped up on my twitter that Yordano Ventura died in a car accident . Not sure how accurate this is.

Andy Marte died a few hours earlier in a separate car crash in the Dominican.
Ventura was reportedly drunk. |

I saw that pic. Pretty weird seeing him just laying there. Dead. Sad. Especially if he essentially took his own life by drinking.

bah! So fucking sad. Always hard to be reminded of your own mortality. Know a few guys from around here who've died under similar circumstances.

These Dominican kids need to hire someone to drive them around in the off-season.... Like pay one of their scrub friends $500 a night to stay sober and drive them home....Absolutely ridiculous....

You just get the idea that these athletes in general think they're bullet proof because of what they're physically capable of.

On the bright side, at least it didn't happen to a Blue Jay!
