a little birdie told me that Brian Wilson is about an inch from becoming a Tiger

This would make me very happy!! Love that guy!

The Tigers seem to like really annoying relievers.

Anything that keeps us beating them Yanks is fine by me..

We got Nathan, and I haven't felt this good about our closer in a couple years.. I just wish he was slightly more annoying

I was hoping wilson would go ANYWHERE rather than return to the d**gers. the AL would have been best. fuck.

Rumor has it that he was denied by a few teams because he refused to shave..

If that is true (even though the Tigers would be one of those teams) I really dig his will..

Last-12-Exit

Jacoby to the Yanks. At $153 mil, youd think he could pitch.

I like ellsbury, I hope he does well for NY.

Crazy contract for Ellsbury. 30 years old and he has been hurt a bunch the past few years. I thought the Yankees were looking to reduce payroll and get under that $189M luxury tax number?? I guess not.

Max bid of $20M on NPB players. Things just got interesting....

Is it the least number or wins or does the player pick? If the player picks, which he should, this entire process has been pointless as the big market teams will still win out.

I actually think this means bigger contracts for the players. I really don't see how this helps small market teams unless they are forced to go to shitty teams.

Yea, you're right: (this entire process is pointless and the BIG market teams will win out).(and the player gets a BIG contract too.

How about this process; How about they have to go into the DRAFT, if they want to play in the MLB?

$20 million max, anyone can negotiate who is tied for $20 mil or highest bid. Player picks. So higher contracts against the luxury tax for teams. Player has a lot more power than before.

Couldn't do draft since the player is under contract in another professional league.

Just read up more on this. So essentially players are free agents.... and are getting an additional $20M from a team. This no longer makes any sense.

They team they are coming from gets the $20 mil for letting them out of their contract, but yeah, essentially.

You boys feel free to laugh. I don't even want to think about what stupidity Daniels will pull next. I'm sure they'll be firing Ron Washington soon.

Kinsler is my FAVORITE Ranger. Trading him for Prince Fucking Fielder? :fp:

Where's Flagg? He always puts some intelligent perspective on things.

I guess we know now. Gentry and Lindblom gone for 2 prospects. AJ gone. Cruz probably gone. Daniels is out of his head. His ego has gone wild since they kept him and got rid of Nolan Ryan. Looks like we are going to field a triple A team next year, like the Astros

Daniels has to show that he's in charge now, even if it means making the worst deals possible. Which he seems pretty determined to do. I swear, it's going to be years before we recover from this shit.
