He's more of a spaz than a douche. Donaldson 100% pure douche. Bautista is an asshole with douchey qualities. Lawrie is more of a little bitch with strong douche tendencies. Smardjqkw& is just a white trash piece of shit. Viking boy is a narcissist blowhard ****boy.

One might expect a few warts on guys signed to minor league deals.

Spaz is the perfect word. I couldn't quite think of one. Pence is def a spaz but I think overall, a pretty good natured, chill dude. He's certainly not a douche

I'm still curious about Tim Lincecum. If he has a decent showing in January to show case his rehabilitation, I'd love to see us take a flyer on him. The dude flat out knows how to pitch, and would be a nice bounce back candidate, IMO...maybe allowing us to move on a corner outfielder like Gordon or spending more money there.

If we had kept Gordon and Zobrist we could go into the season with Yo, Medlen, Volquez, Young and a ham sandwich and still be overwhelming WS favorites. Screw spending money on a starting pitcher. Just keep the defense at weapons-grade and figure something out to replace Outfante.

Wade Davis has now become a verb... and it's being used during football analysis. The NFL disabled embedding so you have to click the link:

You belong on MLB Network.

True but this guy had a nice decently long career with a horrendous ratio every year.

The media loves them some Cubs.....

I'd take that spaz on my team any day.

:clap:

Ages 27-29 seasons:

Y Cespedes: 1895pa 83hr 5.5%bb 0.216iso 116wRC+
Jose Guillen: 1767pa 82hr 5.2%bb 0.217iso 124wRC+

Uncanny.

Well, except for that time during the 2014 World Series when Pence told a Starbucks barista in KC to write "Champ" on the cup for his name. That's a douche move.

That's totally a spaz move. "Champ" is so nerdy it's cute.

Donaldson would have insisted his cup be labeled "MVP", then thrown a fit because his foam was too hot causing his man-bun to wilt.

Guillen is only 39.... we could still get him back.

FIFY

From ESPN:

Yovani Gallardo: The Royals, Baltimore Orioles and Houston Astros are all interested in Gallardo, who may sign with a team soon, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation tweets. With Cueto now off the market, Gallardo becomes one of the best pitchers still available. The 29-year-old posted a 3.42 ERA in 33 starts with the Rangers last season.

Would, but don't like giving up the pick.

We'd need to do a longer term deal if we are giving up a pick.

I'd like Gallardo get it done

He's thrown 180+ innings in 7 straight seasons and a near 3.6 ERA. Strikeout rate is on the decline but at the K, that doesn't concern me much.

Definitely get this done if you can.

Definitely some red flags, but I honestly don't know if he'd be worth the money or not, and I'm not being sarcastic.

What I do know is that another name for the Royals being mentioned is Kazmir. I have zero interest in the club signing him.

It should be apparent by now that whatever his numbers are are front-loaded because his arm poops out after the break. It has the last 2 seasons, so what would lead anyone to believe that it would be different as he's only getting older.
So, what you are getting is another Young. Somebody with a hard ceiling of effective number of innings.

Besides Geraldo, I don't know whose available and within the Royals realistic salary parameters?

WTF is this Alex Gordon died in a car crash, shit?

What in God's name are you talking about?

Where are you hearing/reading this?

Some web site had it posted. They have since took it down.

Jesus Christ, get a second source for that information before posting that here.

What website

Knowing Pete, it was a chain e-mail

Kill this mother****er

Somebody is trying to get a cruel sick joke to spread...

I assume it was breitbart.

Some website...JFC. Your dipshittery is bad enough in DC.
Don't infect this sacred thread with it.

The 2015 World Series Champion Kansas City Royals and its fans don't deserve to be subjected to your nutjob idiocy.

Damn, gonna miss him in the outfield. Fly high Gordo!

Alex Jones: "Is Alex Gordon dead or alive? Find out more on Wednesday's podcast!"

YOU GUYS WHAT IF NBC 41 IS FROM PARADISE TEXAS??

I don't think you understand how hard it is to Google something like this.

Did the Twins win yesterday?

Twice

How may I sign-up?

@JeffPassan: Source: Dodgers, White Sox nearing a trade. Top pitching prospect Frankie Montas is going to Los Angeles, so it could be pretty big.

@JeffPassan: Source: Yasiel Puig is NOT going to Chicago in the trade between the Dodgers and White Sox.

@JeffPassan: Sources: Players involved in the trade between the Dodgers and White Sox are still being informed of the deal, but it is done at this point.

@JonHeymanCBS: todd frazier goes to white sox

@BNightengale: The #Dodgers get Frankie Montas, Michah Johnson, Trayce Thompson; #Reds get Jose Peraza, Scott Schebler, Brandon Dixon. @JonHeymanCBS 1st.

@BNightengale: The #WhiteSox will move Brett Lawrie to 2B to make room for Frazier at 3B.

People already shitting on what the Reds got. Clevelanditis is spreading into Cincinnati.

@JeffPassan: The Marlins have sought volume in their Jose Fernandez trade talks. Few teams in baseball have as much prospect volume now as the Dodgers.

Assuming Alex Gordon is still alive, would you do 4/$92?

typo?

which part?

I presume the "offering Alex Gordon a $23 million AAV" part.

5/92 seems sensible...I guess (but probably still too much given that year 5 is likely going to get you a 1.5-2 WAR player); 4/92 is batty.

Yes. Thought he meant 5/92 which is closer to projections Ive seen.

Just so we are clear, I agree. I wouldn't want any part of that deal. But, that is a number a saw referenced yesterday in a Boston rag.

I'm guessing, given the proclivity of MLB teams to overpay for corner OF talent in this market (Jayson Heyward), that 4/$92MM for AG might not be too far off.

Me? I'd do 4/$75

I have been busy and haven't been able to keep up, so far we've lost Zo and Cueto and signed Soria. Am I missing anything?

Alex Gordon MAY have been killed in a car accident.

Rectum

damn near killed him

Rectum? I never even touched him!

Hmm, could be some fireworks on a double play ball at some point this year

Former Royals Outfielder Garth Brooks changed his name to Chris Gaines, and is a free agent. He's been out of the league for awhile, because he has friends in low places.

That will save the Royals some cash.

For what it is worth Bowden reported Royals offering Gordon around 4 for 50.

Lol what

Was that after the crash?

That can't be real. It'd be insulting for the organization to offer that over making no offer at all.

Yes and McCallaugh said he woudnt doubt it based on the KC model of spending and player aquistion.
