Offseason Chat Thread

The Rangers have traded Michael Young to the Phillies for reliever Josh Lindblom and prospect Lisalverto Bonilla. This is messed up. Michael Young was the Rangers franchise player, so he should have finished his career with them. He is a fan favorite type of guy. Rangers fans love him.
 
Yeah, I'm not even a Rangers fan, but I loved him too. I agree that they should've kept him.

The Mariners signed Jason Bay to a 1-year contract yesterday. I just don't get what teams see in Jason Bay...
 
The LA Dodgers signed Zack Greinke today to a 6-year deal worth around $147 million. It's the largest contract ever for a right-handed pitcher, and the 2nd largest for a pitcher ever. (C.C. Sabathia's contract with the Yankees in 2009 was worth $161 million.)
 
Going with my Pirates themed news:

Pirates resigned reliever Jason Grilli to a two year deal.

Former Pirate Nate McClouth resigns with the Orioles.
 
Bauer traded to Cleveland haha
 
The Rays have traded James Shields and Wade Davis to the Royals for outfielder Wil Myers, right-hander Jake Odorizzi, left-hander Mike Montgomery and third baseman Patrick Leonard. I like this trade. Will Myers could be something special to replace B.J. Upton in the outfield and hopefully complement Evan Longoria offensively, and we got a couple pitchers that might have spots in the bullpen in the future. Also, another third baseman is good just in case Evan Longoria has an injury.
 
Mariners signed Raul Ibanez to a one year deal. I can't believe he's back!
 
Pirates finalized the deal with Hanrahan today:

Pirates Get:

Mark Melancon
Stormy Pimentel (Or something like that)
Ivan Dejesus Jr
Jerry Sands

Red Sox Get:

Joel Hanrahan
Brock Holt

Right? My dad thinks he's just going to be like every other star that the Mariners have gotten over the past few years, but I don't know! Judging off of his postseason performance, he might really help us out!

Yeah, I can't wait to see the reception he gets from Safeco Field his first game.
