He was robbed when Miggy won Triple Crown?
Hmm let's see

Trout is a gold glove calibre cf
Plays a premium position.
Great base runner
Great hitter.

Cabrera's awesome and all but overall Trout provided more value, and deserved to win at least one MVP in those two years.

I can agree to an extent that last years was his. But I just can't see Miggy losing while winning the Triple Crown.

Mexi, so the Dodgers have Zaidi as a GM and Friedman as President.
 
I'm back on the dodgers bandwagon.

Nats and Cubs in talks for Jordan Zimmermann. Please no. Unless it's for Starlin Castro. Still no.

GM Dave Dombrowski told Sherman that part of the reason he exercised Joakim Soria’s $7MM club option was to keep out of the race for late-inning relief on the free agent market.

It appears both Jon Lester and the Boston Red Sox are getting serious about the possibility of a reunion.
Lester's agent reportedly met with Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington for an extended period of time Tuesday night, according to Rob Bradford of WEEI.com. The veteran free agent stated months ago he would be willing to return to the Red Sox, with whom he spent the first nine seasons of his career before getting traded to the Oakland Athletics in July.

I really don't care, but should the Red Sox brining back Lester even be legal? Lol.
I feel like trading a guy in a lost season, on his last year of his contract, then just bringing him back shouldn't be allowed.
Basically got a starting outfielder and a top of the rotation starter for nothing.

Yeah I actually agree with you here. I feel like it was a ruse all along.

Tigers just traded their number one prospect to the jays for anthony gose.

Gose is a 4th outfielder at best.

Reminds me when the jets owners said they haven't fired rex Ryan because they don't want another team to hire him.

The Indians traded Kenny Lofton for David Justice in 1997, and then signed Lofton after the season ended.

They then ended up trading David Justice for Jake Westbrook and ended up trading Westbrook for Kluber.

Yeah they think he's gonna be able to play CF "regularly."
 
 
And I'm not all that upset losing Travis. All the Tigers prospects are horrible and I wouldn't be surprised if they traded someone like Moya now when his value is high.

I really like Devon man. Plus this is the best way for the jays to acquire a 2B which is what they desperately need. I'm not expecting much but I'd be content if he turns into a 2.5 war 2b.

Gose can cover a lot of ground in the of. He also gets on base at a decent clip. He just strikes out way too much for someone who doesn't have a lot of power.
