Royals sign Trevor Rosenthal to a minor league deal....apparently he hasn't had enough of Matheny destroying his arm.

There is yearly lotto ticket. Next a couple 4A pitchers in the Rule 5.

Wonder what all speed no hit outfielder Dayton will overpay for?

The high end elite guys are getting paid. It's the mid level vets that are finding a harder time getting paid.

Graduated from Lee's Summit West High School.

Only a minor league contract, so for low cost KC will see if he has anything left.

So? Who cares. The players don’t so why would anyone else.

DM might as well not even show up at the winter meetings.

Teams are being told to plan on the three-batter minimum for pitchers being in effect in 2020. There was discussion at the owners' meetings to change it to a 2-batter minimum, but it was voted down, and pitchers will have to face at least 3 batters or finish the inning.

How does this go through while the NL still goes without a DH? Any purity of the game argument is ridiculous after this.

One thing I’ve learned from a day of winter-meetings lobby hanging is that the Padres seem more motivated than ever to move Wil Myers. Even open to attaching prospects to him if it helps finish off a deal.

Boom knew this was coming, doubt the Royals have the nuts to do it though.

Zero chance... because it make too much sense.

This is also a great opportunity for Sherman to set a new standard.

If we can find some pitching this year, we could be sneaky good. Not playoffs, but a nice step in the right direction. We have a nice offensive core and we have yet to see the best of Mondesi.
