You should be hyped on Hendriks. I have no fucking clue why Shapiro felt the need to ship a 26 year old reliever for a 32 year old. I fucking hated that trade the second I saw it. Other than Cecil Sanchez and Osuna I trusted him in the pen.
>>64064096
The easiest way to spot a bandwagoner is that they think the 4th reliever is going to stay good after a career year.
If you stick around after this year I will laugh at you when Hendriks has a 4 ERA and spends time in the minors.
>>64064141
Right. I guess someone who is 6 years older and has had virtually no success his entire career is better. What a fucking scum sucking bandwagoner I am.
>>64064182
A mediocre 5th starter is more important than a reliever who gets BTFO in any clutch situation
>>64064141
The easiest way to spot a bandwagoner is that they have a Canadian flag on their post
>>64064219

>there are retards on this board right now who actually belive the Mets will ever again make the world series

Yeah, just trade Cruz man. We got almost his entire contract worth in like one season and he sucks as a DH, which is where he'll play since Dipoto loves his defense.
>>64066536
This to be honest
>>64066550
Just have to wait for the post season, then Kershaw is worthless
>>64066545
You're eras over lah. Royals will win for awhile and then it'll go back to both of them not winning.

It really doesn't matter because that term limit was agreed upon by Rogers and will likely continue to resist any big signings.
You won't see another big long term contract for any player in Toronto for the next decade unless its a lightning in a bottle prospect.
Beeston/AA may have had principles but they still had balls unlike these two dickless wonders. Rebuild is coming.

>rays and sox completely underperformed

The blue jays will only do worse this year
>>64066806
The Jays are weaker no doubt but idk why you think they'll be so shit. The Orioles could lose Chen and Davis (it's most likely). Tampa has no offense but a very good rotation. The Yankees are getting old and unless they sign someone they won't win the division. Boston will be better but I don't think price alone will win them the division.
Jays have a mediocre as fuck rotation with a great offense.
Tl;Dr
It'll be an interesting season and hard to predict who will take the division.
>>64066883
O's will get chen or gallardo in place.
Davis walks, trumbo pretty much confirms.
Y'all are lucky because i'm twiddling my thumbs until, while price is already with the red keks.
