I found a Carlos Marmol t-shirt on Amazon for $8. Since I'm a Cubs fan now I should get it, right?

Why would you want it?

All the young, talented Cubbies are better choices

It's $8.

I looked it up as a possible gag gift for one of my friends. It's $8.99 plus $6 S&H. He's not that good of a friend.

It's Carlos Marmol ..... do you really want to wear his name around town?

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Wait are you really Captain Hook.

Ryan Lavarnway is on the move again. He was DFAed by Baltimore, his fourth club of the off-season.

99% of people in this town will have no idea who he is. The 1% who do will probably get it.

Zobrist and Escobar to the A's.

@MBakerTBTimes: More on Zobrist trade MT @Ken_Rosenthal Sources: Zobrist and Y. Escobar going to #Athletics, Jaso and Daniel Robertson going to #Rays.

who is Robertson?

The Beanes always are up to something interesting. Robertson is a SS who was a first rounder out of HS a few years back. I'm surprised they moved him out because I thought his emergence was one of the reasons Russell was expendable.

Nice long-term pickup for Tampa, especially if Robertson's glove works in the IF.

And the baffling A's off season continues

isn't every A off season baffling? then they continue to surprise and make the playoffs.

 

[Eephus]

What's really baffling is that a MiLB OF named Boog Powell was a throw-in from the A's

Zobrist is really really good. I'll miss seeing him play.

Robertson's the prize. Jaso's OK, I don't think Powell will amount to much, but yeah, Robertson was thought to be one of Oakland's best prospects. The knock on him is his range, which may mean he eventually ends up at 3B.

He had a good year in A ball but the Cal League is a long way from the majors.

TB really loves catchers.

Competitive Balance decree from the commissoner. After sweeping the AL through three playoff rounds, it would have been unfair to let the Royals add talent.

Maybe next season Oakland will be able to last 13 or 14 innings in the wild card game before choking.

I got a Mark Derosa shirt around my house somewhere. It might fit if you are a 100lb female.

Arizona signs 21 year old Cuban RHP Yoan Lopez for a $8.25M bonus. That's the record amount but it'll be broken as soon as Yoan Moncada gets cleared to sign.

I tweeted the Twins' president telling him to get Yoan. He didn't listen to me. :(

Maybe Marmol should change his name to Yoan

I was really considering hoping back on, but now that's going to have to wait until at least the end of the Boner Era on the South Side.
