There are some rumors out there that the Donaldson deal was supposed to have Samardzija in it but talks stalled and both teams liked the deal as it went through. Indicates to me that Toronto may not be done and is going to make a serious push in a what looks to be a very winnable East.
Now rumors are linking Samardzija to the White Sox for Alexei Ramirez.
Hmm! The pitcher that some around here thought had not much trade value, could be back in Chicago. :clap:
Beane overpaid because he went into the win now mode by acquring 3 starters in lester, samardzija, and hammelnot sure he should have netted russell and than some. thats where i was confused. did beane overpay being stupid or did he know something about russell because now he is scrambling for a SS when he could easily sign lowrie and trade for other positions. not sure what beane is doing but thats beane

Unfortunately for him, their hitters went cold and the angels got red hot. .

@Ken_Rosenthal: Source: #Mariners in serious talks with Cruz. Report from @ElCaribeRD in DR says team is in agreement with him on four-year, $57M contract.
There goes one option for LF
Not that i think their going to sign Melky, i just wish they would.I still dont know why people think we are signing a big time LF. I have thought from the beginning we are going Coughlan with a righty backup.

Id much rather see an outfield of..
Cabrera in LF
Coghlin / Alcantara in CF
Soler in RF
You've been really consistent in your opinion there so I give you credit. As I've said before I think they'll probably sign Jonny Gomes and maybe another part time OF but it's unlikely they do more than that. I also think Kris Bryant could very well be in LF by August. If Baez has improved by July and Russell is ready to come up there will be some hard decisions in terms of who might get traded sure, but also maybe you don't trade any of them and you have Rizzo, Baez, Castro and Russell in your IF and Soler, Alcantara and Bryant in the OF. In that case maybe you package Alcantara with some other kids and pick up a C or CF. Lots of options there. In the meantime leave LF to Coghlan and a platoon player and don't limit your options.
