HOT STOVE, COOL SAND

I'll try to dig it up tonight--I think it was a very terse "No, not true," or something like that.

Angels get catcher who can reach base:

chatwood is gonna get BOMBED in coors

i mean he's not good to begin with, but

how did the Nation react to Bobby V's presser?

who cares

the marlins are giving heath bell $27m

wonder if theyll include a clause ensuring hes not closing under an assumed name

i would enjoy the heath bell era much more if he assumed a different name every time he pitched

the little i saw of heath bell last year... he did not look good. lots of 94 mph fastballs up in the zone.

Capuano takes his amazing calves to Dodger Stadium, 2 yr/$10M

how did the Nation react to Bobby V's presser?

resigned kool-aid drinking save a minority of cynical holdouts.

Feds open SEC probe into Miami Marlins stadium deal

occupy jeffrey loria tbh

Trying to think of a good reason to continue being a Padres fan and not coming up with anything.

they can always keep passing their shitty relievers onto the marlins?

nice of the SEC to take notice right before the marlins broke ground. they can really save the taxpayers some money before things get out of hand.

padres getting joe wieland and robbie erlin for mike adams was more than solid tbh

Glad we got some new pitchers to help us keep losing 1-0.

the pads do have one of the best systems in baseball right now tho. granted, the guy responsible for that is now the general manager of the cubs, but oh well.

well yeah, but getting two solid starting prospects for a reliever in his 30s is good.

also i'm from pittsburgh so shut it xp

(btw casey kelly sux)

Pedro officially retiring.

welcome to miami

mets get only a third round pick plus a sandwich pick. (miami's 2nd rounder went to SD for bell). timing is everything.

this is the only time in my life that i've ever felt any positive feelings for jeffrey loria

seriously you guys, someone is going to have to put me into a straitjacket

Even after signing Reyes, #Marlins now plan to make aggressive push to sign Pujols, sources say. More to come at ESPN.com

this is so funny

sorry i don't want to play into miami stereotypes but it's just so

Now that they've checked Reyes off their to-do list, the Miami Marlins have an even bigger name on their radar screen -- Albert Pujols.

Sources told ESPN.com on Sunday night that the Marlins plan to make an aggressive run at Pujols over the next two days.

A source also told ESPNDeportesLosAngeles.com that Miami has emerged as the most likely destination for Pujols if the slugger decides to leave the St. Louis Cardinals, the only team he has played for in his 11-year career.

man. this team.

so they get maybe Buehrle, maybe Pujols. do they beat Philly? do we watch another Crawford/Lackey disaster unfold? when was the last time a team went this free agent crazy? the diamondbacks?

buehrle is better than lackey and the marlins new stadium is big, so i think his stuff would play there

reyes... has also been a better player with crawford, but he's fraught with risk. if crash landed like crawford next year i'd be shocked. hopefully reyes actually wants to come to miami and isn't solely running to the money, which i think was part of crawford's prob next year.

er, last year

the phillies will be good, i think they're on shaky ground if anything else goes wrong for them, they're gonna have a hard time scoring runs, and if any of their pitchers gets hurt...

the marlins could win the wild card if they pick up a few more guys if they stay healthy. the problem is that they have no depth, which is why they turned into one of the absolute worst teams in baseball last year when guys started getting hurt. so, things would have to break right, but it certainly would be in play

man. this team. should get plague.

According to ESPN Boston's Gordon Edes, the agent for outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is telling interested teams that his client wants a $60 million contract.

sick of hearing about this fool.. sounds like willy mo pena 2.0.

i don't know -- if carl crawford and jayson werth are getting $120m contracts, yeonis cespedes probably will be worth half that

plus he can leg-lift two friends and catch a ball behind his back

dodgers get capuano and harang. y'all jealous.

=\

quite the one-two punch there!

look out NL west!
