The season is now officially over. Time for the offseason.

- Will CC opt-out or will the Yankees manage to get him to agree to an extension?

- How will the Red Sox rebuild? Their manager and GM are already gone.

- How will the Braves recover from their collapse?

- Will we finally see an expanded postseason? MLB wants to move the Astro's to the AL to help make this happen. I hope we never see the expanded postseason.....

Time to start the offseason discussion!

Give it a rest:rolleyes::p:D
 
Sabathia is back with one extra year added, Cashman is back for 3 years, the Yankees picked up the options on Swisher and Cano.
 
I think we're missing the most obvious question: How many pre-season injuries will the Mets' outfielders sustain from run ins with the new walls?
 
Papelbon agrees to a 4 year $50 million deal with the Phillies.

Posada also says he won't be returning to the Yankees. No surprise there as they don't have any intent to resign him.

That is why Posada said he wouldn't be returning to the Yankees because they don't have intent to resign him.

I hope he retires than play for a team like the Orioles.....

So, you wanted Papelbon to come back? I was under the impression that Sox fans wanted him to go.

So does Bard become the closer now?

Obviously. the dude had 30+ saves for us the last 6 years. he was our most consistent pitcher last year.

So does Bard become the closer now?

:eek::eek:

we are so ****ed. john henry needs to sell this team and **** off back to liverpool
 
I wonder if Paps left due to the collapse and just wanted to get out of Boston? We heard no reports of him and Red Sox talking. Did Boston already know the price of Papelbon was higher than they liked so they didn't bother?

EDIT: I see it was only a $500,000 raise for Paps. Now I really am curious as to why he made the deal.....

The deal includes a vesting option that could take it beyond $60 million for the 30-year-old, the source said.

probably. the whole organization is ****ed. never before have i felt this way about a team
 
The Red Sox were not going to give him a big contract. Not after the way his pitching has declined. Anything over 20 for 2 years is way to much. He is not a great closer and he is already showing signs of injury.

In other news, have you seen the stupid looking new Miami Unis. Not only is the name bad but the new logos suck.

Pujols, Reyes, and Buehrle have been given offers by the team. They might be trying to build an actual team not just rely on the farm.
