Nice addition.  Don't see how this blocks Tucker, it is a two year deal for a fragile player who might end up at DH or 1B a lot.  And, as mentioned, if Reddick sucks again, there will be plenty of OF ABs.

This. Brantley and Yuli will do most of the DH work. Don't trade Tucker. This could haunt us forever. 

Trust in Luhnow. We just signed the best bat on the market, not the most talented.

Wearing #23.  I sure hope the curse of that # doesn't continue.  Gotta go back to Eric Anthony (and I guess Doug Jones for a year) days for someone worth a shit to wear it.  

Nelson Cruz is gonna have to pick a different number.  And so is AJ Re....oh neverfucking mind

Rumor mill is Realmuto trade to Stros heating up. Stros apparently have best offer out there, but plenty of teams in play and Marlins arent in a huge hurry

Interesting. The last I read today,  there’s only three teams and they want to have it done by Christmas. So the exact opposite.

I wouldn't classify by Christmas a huge hurry. I mean like tonight.

I saw like 4 teams in play, but Stros best at the moment

Gotcha.

Personally, Id consider an arbitrary deadline in less than a week when the season is more than 3 months away a hurry, but I can see how that’s relative.

I also find it telling that most of what I’ve read about the Astros being so hot on him is coming from a Marlins reporter. Seems like between that and the deadline they’ve imposed they’re trying to create a false sense of urgency.

That's not the bomb that had a star the seat, is it? I don't think so

What’s shit is he doing?

Stupid millennial shit. Really stepped up the social media game in the offseason and seems much more focused on a lot more off the field stuff than last offseason...but again, maybe that’s just perception because he/his PR person is posting so much more.
It’s fine and good for him for trying and market himself. But like above poster said, just not my cup of tea.

I thought Achilles comebacks were usually a year.  I guess Sherman went from November to the following summer training camp, but he was limited until the season started.  

 

Anyone know whether it's his push off or plant leg?  Maybe that matters.

What PR agency is running the show for Bregs? Because all the shit he’s doing seems like it sucks...

Expand  

100%...The workout videos are pretty cool just to see what he's doing in the off season but the other stuff is lame. I respect him helping out the waitress with the huge tip but that was a really odd way of doing it.

I actually like him doing a YouTube channel, he's just marketing himself. Manfred said something about trout needing to market himself and other players needing to do more and get their name and brand out there around the all star break, I just see bregman thinking long-term and seeing he can build himself up on his terms.

Bregs just thinking long-term, of course I'm drinking at hughies right nowthough

good, mish is a miami guy.

the only way that deal makes me happy is if we win a world series in the next 2 years, which i think is possible without giving up tucker.  otherwise, we'd be keeping an eye on him his whole career, and i don't want to root against the dude.

Meh, there’s no place for Cruz to play with the Brantley signing anyway. They are going to have to get rid of some existing players as is and/or keep Tucker in AAA. There’s not really a need there.

About all they need at this point is a mid-rotation starter.
