WSD WHAT DO YOU GOT FOR US? Gonna be F5ing at the speed of light tonight

Red Cuck's can only score in the clubhouse ;)

I want to drink five bottles of laxatives and shit myself to death on Mr. Met's face.

I like how wsd actually breaks news lmao

>in on Machado
>in on Yelich
>might sign Bautista
KENNY! What did you do with Rick Hahn?!

Pablo Sandoval's broken belt

Remember that he does this when he eats a good pizza as well.

He's bullshitting

Several offers are on the table for Manny Machado - Cardinals, White Sox, Yankees, Phillies and Giants.
Stove is smoking

I was going to take a shower, but WSD tweeted the eyeball emoji.

>White Sox,
Explain

The White Sox are turning that farm into a plantation.

The Cardinals are stacking up to retake the division.

>this off season feels good man

last off season was the shittiest off season ever. cusb shit their way to being champions in worst world series in years and the lifelong posting was out of control. white sox deconstruct and form a new AAA team, cardinals make no moves.

he just likes to toy with us with his abuse of power

Remember that night last year when he "eyed" during a game and it was the Kahnle trade? We all wanted the game to end so they would hurry and announce the trade. and then WSD was so ecstatic for Rutherford. Damn you WSD. Our poor hearts

MARINERS!

Rodon and Lopez for Machado?

You're fat.

>#whitesox have deal in place, not machado

Fuck off, real whos fans are here now.

> Cardinals

pls no

At least he had something that time. I think this time it might only be that they made an offer

>MIA: Marlins intend to hold on to Christian Yelich
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt

>Kinsler confirmed
How good is the Tigers farm system?

>Tigers farm system
woof

Goddamn it WSD you fuuu

>3-team trade being worked on involving two AL Central franchises

wew lad it's lit now

>How good is the Tigers farm system?

...

I like their top pitching guys.

How to cause tears in /mlb/ in two simple steps:
1. Use the following terms.
>Giants = Gnats
>Nationals = Walgreens
2. Proceed to laugh at people who get upset over it.

Why has this winter meetings been more lit than in the past few seasons?

t. newfag redditor

duffy and garcia to the barves calling it now

Rick Hahn is hogtied in the janitor's closet.

>newfag is still this mad no one will use his forced memes

>Trade away my Men will you?!

two national media-level moves preceded this one, baseball's really relishing in the nfl loathing right now

>Who am I?
>Is this Kenny?
>Give the phone back to Rick.

Can anyone stop the yankees?

Boy they sure fucked up football in a hurry

The Dodgers

@Ken_Rosenthal: the #Braves are close to acquiring the big red down arrow

>implying they aren't gonna go choke again

Red Sox if they get JD Martinez.

The Cubs, who are still the good guys by default now against the AL East.

>tfw the stove is hot and you don't know if your team will trade away a big piece or for a big piece

Guaranteed rates everywhere!

I'm not Kenny, but if I was, if I was such a bad FO guy then why haven't the White Sox fired me yet? Surely then I would be out of Chicago in a hurry if I was shit. But I am not, just like I am not Kenny.

switching avi for machado would be too good to be true

so thats probably not it

fucking avi

...

Slooooooooooowly getting better with each trade

YOU TELLEM KENS

>tfw dicks herpes will die in your life time
Feels good man.

You tell em ken-, not-kenny.

As an outsider I'm curious to see if he really get's his man after all

YEAH JEETS YOU TELL 'EM

You were right

false alarm

next time, look for more eyes

Is Joe Smith a decent pitcher?

He's a decent puncher

>Tigers get nobody
>twitter.com/emilywaldon2080/status/941128542787653632

I'd rather have Billy Bean as my GM than Brian Cashman lmao

He's an S-Class braphog

People are giving Cashman credit for making a deal with a team that had no other options.

Ron Darling pls go

Billy Bean is probably the better GM, but he is seriously handcuffed by buget

>mests

What about the Frazier/Robertson trade last year? You know he's doing a lot of things right.

>he actually believes this

It was a salary dump and lotto ticket ya dweeb

Why are the whos depleting their just acquired farm system for a year of an above average player?

yeah I do

I have a sports related /biz/ question. If I am worth $1M, then I sign a 5y/$50M contract with a team, am I worth $51M, even before I obtain the money?

Not to mention Machado wants to play SS and they just gave a sizable contract to Tim Anderson. I think you can do two things. one is hope the sox are ahead of schedule, and get him to sign and extension. two would be flip him for more prospects than you gave up at the trade deadline when his value might be higher.

I was really happy about the D-Rob trade, he was a really good Yankee reliever before he went to Chicago. I'm glad he's back and performing.

this question was so retarded and poorly worded I tried to delete your post

That second option sounds like a horrible idea.

>detoilet

THE SHITTY OF DETOILET LMAO

>My Rangers getting Grenkie

Hahahahahahaha looking forward to the "rags" posting to disappear soon

Calling Machado "above average" is cute.

They had their eyes on Machado for 2019, but now that he is available, they want the 1 year advantage on offering an extension. They also want him to feel connected to the rebuild so he is more likely to sign.

"worth" is always contextual when you're talking athletes. maybe if the team that signed you beat another team with sheer dollars?

Machado isn't signing an extension. Are you serious?

Our boy BB with the sensical response to calm the flames WSD fanned.

Calm down everyone and resume hoping for avi to be traded for value.

detoilet doesn't know how to build a farm system lol

>autisrags
>ragstism

>If I were to guess, I'd say the Phillies. #Machado

trade our best trade pieces for a handshake
the shitty of detoilet

>Stanton, Ozuna, Kinsler all traded with shit returns.

Donaldson and Machado going to be traded for packing peanuts.

Why would Donaldson be traded?

The Marlins are a fucking pathetic organization.

Blue Jays are listening to offers

One of those is not like the others

Because everything is terrible. I want him extended, but our fanbase is in full "sell everybody, see you in 10 years" after the Stanton deal.

A lot more big names involved than usual and a foreign talent hitting the market.

Makes a lot of sense actually. More sense than any of those other teams at least.

>MLB allowing the Yankees and Angels to gobble up all of the shit teams assets for minimal trade
Yeah man this is a great offseason

you wouldn't if you were the one paying off the bonds for their stadium for the next 50 years

>Kinsley
>Headley
Angels ain't gobbling up shit.
