I saw on MLB trade rumors the Reds came close to getting Stanton by dangling Scooter & Rookie Davis, Stanton's never hit 4 HR's in a game yet

Scooter is a BEAST!

Giancarlo Stanton * .1908

That lineup is unreal.

Just wait until they add Bryce Harper.

I hate that they gave up Castro. The good news is that they have some studs in the minors that can fill in.

I hope they keep Todd Frazier to play 3rd, DH, and back up at 1st but also he's a great guy in the clubhouse.

Worst case is that they just bring up Gleybar Torres to save money. He'll be a starter this year anyway but hopefully not at the expense of guys like Frazier.

Love Frazier, but he needs to figure out what's going on with his swing.
His BA has dropped in 3 consecutive years. From .273 in 2014, followed by season averages of .255, .225, .213

He seemed to get a little more comfortable at the end of the season last year. But you're right. There's definitely something going on but I think his intangibles are worth it.

He's a great clubhouse guy, but if he's going to hit .220 you might as well make him a bench coach. That's too unproductive for an everyday player.

I hate the Yankees.
But this team might be must-watch baseball.

The Marlins are going to get fucked on the deal to get rid of his contact. Since he has the no trade clause they have zero leverage. They're going to end up eating a big chunk of money and getting very little in return.

The rumors are that the Yankees are trying to send Headley and Ellsbury to them and still wanting them to cover about 50 million on Stanton's deal.

If they can do that then I'm allllll about that trade happening.

Jeter has been in a cost-cutting frenzy since becoming owner.

I think the red sux are going to go after Machado hard.

They're going to try to throw money around to play catch-up.
