Why not CC Sabathia? Having a real nice bounceback year, FA in November, and I checked his contract: $0 buyout.

The Bud Norris ship has sailed. Andy McCullough confirming that the Dodgers have acquired his services.

I think that's a really nice fit, actually. Would be the least costly and be very solid.

Sure about that? According to Cot's Contracts, for 2017 he has a $25M vesting option with a $5M buyout.

But then: His 2017 salary is guaranteed if Sabathia 1) does not end 2016 on the disabled list with a left shoulder injury, 2) does not spend more than 45 days in 2016 on the disabled list with a left shoulder injury or 3) does not make more than six relief appearances in 2016 because of a left shoulder injury.

FG has $0 buyout and the $25 vesting with your parameters. Not sure if he hits them, but his start today was pushed back due to arm issues.

Yanks are about 500. They may buy instead of sale at this point.

I still think the trade deadline needs to be moved back like 2 weeks.

Its hard to believe that the Royals have no better option than Young?

WTF???

It's a different world now with the two wild cards. 24 of the 30 teams are within 7 games of a playoff spot... which is basically one hot stretch away from contention. Same thing happened last year.

Hey slackers, it's a 6:10 start tonight. Where's the game thread? I'm not starting it.

Royals up already 1-0.

2 base error by Peralta put Merrifield at 2nd. Then attempts to steal 3rd on the next pitch and Bryan Pena threw the ball into left field.

Brandon Finnegan tonight: 2.1 IP, 8 ER, 5 H, 5 BB. Dane will be along shortly to tell us how his absence has ruined the Royals season.
