Looking at the OP and reading the dates for Winter Meetings made me excited. I hope there are some shenanigans next week.

IN A SHOCKING MOVE GIANCARLO STANTON HAS BEEN TRADED TO THE BLUE JAYS FOR CASH CONSIDERATIONS

LORIA HAS PUT ON AN EXPOS CAP AND IS NOW GIVING EVERYONE THE FINGER

BAW GOD HE WAS A SLEEPER AGENT ALL ALONG

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
Can't wait to see who the Mets deal for in a few weeks!

Syndergaard for Andrus is a thing I've read over the last few days. :v:

Don't think it would happen because of the money involved, but also it would be a very bad deal because Andrus can't hit

Apparently the Braves and Astros discussed Gattis, but the Braves are trying to get a team to take the bad Upton with Gattis. Haha!

Hopefully the Yankees don't sign Nick Markakis. That's all I ask for this week. Maybe sign a pitcher because the rotation is being held together by a piece of tape

I hope they sign McCarthy but I don't think he signs before Lester/Scherzer/Shields unless he's completely blown away

I love Gattis and I want him to stay, but if some team is dumb enough to take Upton with Gattis, then I will help him pack his bags.

I don't think there is any player on the Braves' roster that would make me want to do a trade with Upton included. Maybe Teheran.

Stating I would rather have Carlos Gomez's deal over Uptons might have been my greatest prediction. It also might be my only one that turned out but hey it was a big one.

Also it has been tossed about that the Brewers should trade Gomez to the Seattle. If Jack Z wants to sell the farm I would do it.

They should totally do this, and it seems like the scuttlebutt is that the Yankees are in on Scherzer in regards to the "Big Three."

They need infielders with bats, and at this point I think they're going to have to trade to get them anyway, so whatever.

Hey, Hal made it a point to come in under the luxury tax one season!

(Then proceeded to lose at least as much revenue money as they saved.)

EDIT: Also they're totally gonna let Robertson go over money.
