Well Josh's number will take a decent hit with the Angels since he won't be playing 82 games in Arlington. So quite a risky deal but their tv contract can pay for this new contract pretty easily. I would have not given him this type of contract but the angels are loaded.

Ryan Dempster also appears to be a Red Sox at 2 years 26 million. Which is basically harmless at only two years. I can live with a two-year contract. After all, it means the front office will only have to deal with paying some other team about $12 million to take Ryan Dempster off their hands for one season, rather than two.

So... when will the Mariners aquire someone who's half-decent at batting? Never? Your ballpark killed 5 prime years for Beltre. Look at what happened when he went to Fenway and Texas. Steps were already taken to ensure that sort of thing happens with less frequency. BUT Seattle can really use a couple of big time hitters either way. At least someone that the line-up can be built around for sac flies

The cubs signed Anibal Sanchez for a 5 year about 75 million dollars. Good deal for the Cubbies.

It's weird that Seattle had Edgar Martinez, Ken Griffey Jr, and A-Rod, then went and built a stadium that's akin to playing in the Grand Canyon.

Reports say all signs point to the Mets trading Dickey. At this point I think it's between the rangers and the Angels for the services of Dickey.

Kinda sucks that Hamilton needs an 'accountability coach' with every team he plays for. He's freakin' 32 years old, for crying out loud, and he'd be stupid to screw up, given all the millions he'd be throwing away. He's also a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. He's very fragile mentally so he needs that safety net.

Talks with teams for Dickey apparently ramped up yesterday after the Hamilton deal. Angels, Orioles, Rangers in the mix with Jays as the favorite.
Boy, that would cap off an amazing offseason for AA. He ain't getting Dickey for cheap though.

My point is that no one making dozens of millions of dollars should ever let any thoughts of screwing themselves up like that cross their mind.

according to jon heyman the blue jays are in the lead But there is report by Joel Sherman saying that Dickey will not sign an extension with the Blue jays which could slow talks.

Thought the report I think Heyman says the mets have the offer that they like for Dickey. Seems the blue jays are in a decent size lead.

If the deal happens, it looks like it will be Anthony Gose and JP Arencibia heading to the Mets.

The 4 teams that are heavily discussing are the aforementioned blue jays, Rangers, Angels and for some odd reason the Orioles. I mean the orioles have nothing to offer the mets that they will be willing to deal.

Mets and Jays are getting closer but no agreement yet.
I think we will get more than Arencebia (who stinks) and Gose (promising but has holes in his swing.)
I think Mets are going to do all humanly possible to get D'Arnaud. If not, would want a pitching prospect with Arencebia and Gose.

Idk I rather not take that trade package since J.P is just not very good. I mean I am sure texas can top that offer or even the Angels.

The Mets DO realize that trading Dickey will alienate their fanbase.
One of the guys that gives them hope, and they're gonna trade him for a box of cookies?
