Edit: I lied. They did bid. MLBTR originally read his tweet wrong. Fingers crossed.
So looks like it comes down to the Yankees, Jays, Texas, Seattle, Nats and Cubs.
Seems that way. Texas is crying poor and I don't think they even made an offer to Wilson so who knows how involved they are of if they are just bullshitting. I know Daniels scouted himself a couple times.
I am really hoping the Yanks win. He would add a lot of depth to their young pitchers on a reasonable contract. The posting fee is nothing to the Yankees. Banuelos, Betances, Noesi, Nova and Darvish would be a very strong crop of young pitching to have.
Edit: Not terribly confident. There's a report that the Hippon Ham Fighters are very happy with the bid and there is a report the Yanks bid was "not huge" and that it was a last minute thing after a meeting today.
I wouldn't believe anything on Twitter until its actually announced especially when it comes to the Yanks. I agree we have a great crop of young pitchers and Hughes is only 1 year removed from 18 wins so hopefully he can bounce back.0 -

I hear you, just makes me nervous after the fact since there is really no upper hand to be gained by BS'ing. Once things get out there though, it's a snowball, so who knows.
Just feel like Darvish would add a lot of flexibility to some of the prospects for a reasonable contract.0 -

Word is yanks bid between 20-25 million which would be around what they bid for igawa. Very disappointed but pretty surprised at the rangers going that high considering several players are due big arb raises not to mention Hamilton will be a free agent after next season.0 -

Agreed, sounds like they just put in a bid in case no one else did for the most part. Rangers have a good young staff, this is going to be a costly contract though.
Hopefully the Yanks turn their sights to Kuroda. There was also a report today that a couple teams are "kicking the tires" on AJ.0 -
I dont love him but would take kuroda for a year. i rather see one of the kids win a spot out of spring training and than grab a starter at the deadline.0

I like Kuroda a lot, his numbers will definitely jump in the AL East but he has been very consistent.
Oswalt will take a 1 year deal. I would be all over that.0 -
I would love Roy for a year. I was at that game when Oswalt started the no hitter a few years ago. Brutal game left after 8.Cliffy6745 wrote:Bronx Bombers wrote:I dont love him but would take kuroda for a year. i rather see one of the kids win a spot out of spring training and than grab a starter at the deadline.

Definitely, I would be all about him on a one year deal especially since he would be out to prove himself.
$10-$12 guaranteed plus incentives...done.
ha, that sucks. That was rough. They used 5 pitchers, right?0 -
It was 6 pitchers total. That game just sucked and I had no interest in seeing the stros celebrate which is why we left.0

ESPN reporting Yanks signed Hideki Okijima to a minor league contract.0

I'm setting the over under for games played by ARod at 90. I'm taking the under.
Just saw a report that ARod is off in Germany getting his knee treated. Something's not right. :problem: :think:0 -

Some specialist, Kobe Bryant recommended him, gona take a part from somewhere and stick it in his knee, help with the pain, hopefully it works, we need A-Man on his game this year.0 -
Hideki Okajima? What, Scranton needed a crappy japanese lefty to replace the outgoing Kei Igawa?0
-
I hope ARod is healthy for the year as well...I just have a bad feeling. The knee, the hip...IDK.0

what a disaster. I said at the time, and obviously still believe, once he opted out, they should have told him to hit the bricks. Nobody even makes hi an offer so Hank jumps at the chance to throw $300 million and a decade at him. I wouldn't be surprised if he maxes out at 100 games played the next 6 years. They need to move on, no longer build the lineup around him. take what you get from a broken down former roider as a bonus0 -
Okajima? Seriously?Shows: 6.27.08 Hartford, CT/5.15.10 Hartford, CT/6.18.2011 Hartford, CT (EV Solo)/10.19.13 Brooklyn/10.25.13 Hartford
