Scratch that. The Marlins claimed Villar. Well, that's a shame.

Well then it doesn't matter if they were interested or not because a bad team took him in front of us.

They actually traded for him. Check out the quote about the pitcher they got for Villar:

-Lucas is a 23-year-old lefty with one year of minor league experience.

"He's someone who could project as a back-end starter for us possibly with good development,'' Elias said.

They also claimed Jesus Aguilar so we missed on a chance to have another former Rays 1b. Lol

I can't remember but did we discuss adding Blaine Hardy on a minor league deal? Seems like a pretty good flyer to take with no risk. Probably a good fit for him also as the twins need relievers even if they are just a lefty specialist.

Zack Wheeler to the Phillies for 5 years 118 million and his wife is from that area. We need good pitching and you gotta spend but...That's a lot of money to spend on a guy I'm not sure is actually worth it.

All in on Madison Bumgarner. Make it happen or don't even think about contending next year.

I agree there. We are bidding against White Sox it seems.
