Sawks are making moves.

Completely in line with his market value. Same years, a little higher AAV than was predicted.
7 yr contract for a pitcher now on the wrong side of 30.
Hope it pays off for them in the next year or two.
The way he pitches is supposed to not regress as bad

Here to fix the cable
Price's contract is for $1m more than it cost to build PNC park.

Would be surprised if they keep both.

Right. Jansen probably on his way out.
Wish Jays fans would read this. Same principle after not offering Price.

Apparently this hasn't gone through yet because Chapman fired a gun and beat the shit out of his girlfriend.
Sure all will be forgiven when he shows he can throw 105.

Rockies sign @Orlando apparently.

Ryan Howard must wonder why he never got to play in the AL and just be a DH and reely let hisself go weight wise.

Khalil Greene, best black defensive shortstop since Ozzie Smith.

I may have told this on Utopia before, sorry if so.
I was on a travel team that did pretty frequent trips to Florida. One year we played against Prince Fielder's team. It was in Miami I think, but it could have been Cocoa Beach (I will never return to Cocoa Beach after having to eat at the Cocoa Expo, ugh)
Prince Fielder was a couple years younger but he was pretty much the best player on the field. Most of us were 17-18. Cecil was there in the stands so we all thought it was pretty cool.
Prince was pretty big but wasn't a behemoth like his dad had been. At one point in the game he got on first, I think he walked. I played first base.
So I was saying what's up, etc. He wasn't particularly friendly but wasn't a jerk or anything. He was wearing all these gold chains or whatever.
Anyway, there was a pitch and I heard all of Prince's chains jingling. I looked up and the big dude was halfway to second. Typically, I would hear the footsteps and yell, "GOING!", but I literally did not hear this big dude take off. He was so light on his feet I only heard his chains.
I was so surprised I was kind of like "G-GOING??" and our catcher had late heads up and Prince stole easily.
Then after the game my friend on the team ran up and got Cecil to sign his hat while Prince and Cecil were walking together, leaving the game, which I thought was in poor taste and kind of embarrassing.
Anyway, yes, Prince Fielder is probably pretty fast for a 280 pound dude because he was the fastest big kid I ever played against.

I also cleated Wyatt Taregas by accident and chucked a baseball into Joe Saunders back intentionally. Played beisbol for 20 years, you occasionally play against some players that make the show and occasionally there's a story.
The Fielder thing obviously stood out even at the time because it was honestly pretty bizzare and he was already famous by association and Cecil was there. The thing I wonder about is whether I misinterpreted it at the time and it was a perfectly executed delayed steal. It would make sense as I heard the chains but not heavy footsteps.
Delayed steals are a lethal play in high school and college when executed right. We stole the execution of the delayed steal from UVA and made a killing when I was corching. Since they rely on surprise it would make perfect since for Prince to run this play.

I love what braves got in deal
If its true, this trade is a fucking home run for the braves. That report came from the braves website that those players are involved. I sure hope so. Inciarte and Swanson would have me jacked but to get a Top 60 pitcher as well would be mindblowing. I'm hoping its true.
